Let’s try this hoddle again!
There are three football clubs who are in serious crisis right now: Hull City, Morecambe and Sheffied Wednesday. We previously covered the latter two, but let’s take a closer look at where things currently stand:
Morecambe
The club’s sale hit a major setback when the ownership group announced an unnamed new buyer would be taking over instead of Panjab Warriors. It’s still not clear what the timeline is to actually sell the football club, which was relegated from League Two to the National League.
The Guardian reported Panjab Warriors is considering taking legal action against Bond Group Investments.
On Wednesday the Shrimps announced its July 22 friendly against Barrow would be played behind closed doors due to “ongoing circumstances at the club”.
Sheffield Wednesday
The Sheffield Star recently reported that a deal to sell the club has stalled.
I’m not sure what the latest twist in the saga will bring, but 21-year-old left-winger Djeidi Gassama made the move from Wednesday to Rangers.
The Telegrpah has also previously reported that six players at the club handed in their notices on July 2 after wages were not paid.
Hull City
Hull were hit with a transfer embargo last week amid fears of the club’s financial stability. The Telegraph had also reported Hull City owe nearly £1 million to one Premier League Club and that possible future sanctions remain.
The Athletic did a good feature on the club’s crisis and how it reached this point.
