Shrimpsvoices

Just in case some failed to read the last EFL Statement of February 2023 regarding the takeover, below is a link to the Statement in which it appears to be somewhat critical of the Shrimps Trust.

If the EFL have issued a further Statement since that below then my apology.

Where does it mention Shrimps Trust by name...?

The statement reads....

"The EFL notes some of the inaccurate and unhelpful public comments being made in respect of a prospective acquisition of control at Morecambe Football Club.

As with any proposed change of control at an EFL Club, there are a number of requirements that need to be met in accordance with EFL Regulations which primarily relate to the Owners and Directors’ Test self-declaration, providing Future Financial Information, along with evidencing the source and sufficiency of any funding.

Whilst some of the information requested several months ago has been received, further details are still required, and the League has invited Mr Johal and his advisers to a meeting later this month to discuss further the proposed transaction.

No approval on any change of control at Morecambe will be made until the proposed purchaser and Club satisfy in full the requirements of the EFL’s Regulations and the appropriate levels of due diligence are completed."

Suggest you read the ENTIRE article again and note that the Trust was mentioned by name in the second paragraph...... and also the reference to fans in the third....

If you are going to copy something then copy the entire article NOT just bits which you have chosen to do.

I did read it.... IMO you can interpret the EFL's "inaccurate and unhelpful " in two ways...criticising either various social media platforms or the Trust...I chose to read it as being critical of social media...

..and by the way...that was taken from the EFL website...not the news article...so which is the more accurate...

This is an assumption that whoever has written the article has made. It is not true. Here is the original:

https://www.efl.com/news/2023/february/ ... morecambe/

The statement was released following a number of media reports in outlets such as the Mail, Talksport and even Tifo that Sarbjot was on the verge of purchasing the club. These are the 'inaccurate and unhelpful' comments that the EFL are referring to in their statement.

Never believe a word that appears in a news article..always refer to the original statement and you won't go wrong...
