Excl: I have been told that this announcement is the first that the Morecambe players have heard about this. They are currently refusing to play matches until the current ownership situation is resolved. And - per reports: Derek Adams says players still training. @SkySportsNews

🚨 Morecambe’s players have decided to not play until the ownership situation is resolved. Despite only receiving a third of their wage for June, they have trained professionally and played three pre-season fixtures. We’re with you lads. ❤️🦐

The consequences of taking Jason Whittingham’s words at face value, seen yet again. We fully support the players in their decision to not play until there is a resolution to the situation. We implore the national media to continue reporting on our plight, and the continued…

Once again, Jason has lied, claiming we'd receive further updates later today, yet we're still waiting to hear from the prospective buyers. This silence is nothing new for those who’ve been following this drawn-out saga, but for anyone recently made aware of our situation thanks…
