Morecambe Football Club is set for a major change in ownership as Panjab Warriors, a consortium fronted by entrepreneur Sarbjot Johal, edges closer to completing a takeover deal.
The League Two side, which has faced financial challenges in recent years, could soon be under new leadership, with Johal's group looking to inject fresh investment into the club.
Who Are Panjab Warriors?
Panjab Warriors is a UK-based consortium with strong ties to the Punjabi community. Led by Sarbjot Johal, a businessman with experience in sports and entertainment ventures, the group aims to bring stability and growth to Morecambe FC.
What This Means for Morecambe FC
The potential takeover comes at a crucial time for the Shrimps, who have been seeking new ownership to secure their long-term future. If completed, the deal could provide:
- Increased financial backing for transfers and infrastructure
- Stronger community engagement initiatives
- Potential for commercial growth through new partnerships
Fans will be hoping the new owners can build on the club's recent successes, including their historic promotion to League One in 2021.
Next Steps in the Takeover Process
While negotiations are advanced, the deal still requires approval from the English Football League. The EFL's Owners' and Directors' Test must be passed before the takeover can be officially confirmed.
Morecambe supporters will be watching closely as developments unfold in what could mark a new chapter for the coastal club.
