Prospective Morecambe buyers Panjab Warriors have claimed that owner Jason Whittingham cancelled a scheduled mediation session in relation to the protracted purchase of the club.
In a statement issued on Friday, Panjab Warriors said they had agreed to a meeting with a “mutually known” independent mediator at the request of Whittingham and co-owner Colin Goldring.
A meeting was set up in London on Thursday but the pair cancelled the meeting on Wednesday evening, according to Warriors’ statement., external
The mediator, who Panjab Warriors claimed had been appointed by Whittingham and Goldring, later informed the group that they would no longer be facilitating discussions.
“This ongoing pattern of avoidance must end. We urge Jason and Colin to stop prolonging the suffering of everyone impacted by the current crisis at Morecambe FC,” the statement added.
“The time has come to complete the sale that has already been agreed so the club, its staff, supporters and community can finally move forward.”
BBC Radio Lancashire has contacted Whittingham for comment.
