Morecambe, the independent football regulator and club owners
Wednesday
The independent football regulator has issued a warning notice to Morecambe after the club’s owners failed to answer information requests. It is the first action taken by the IFR since the Football Governance Act became law last year.
The regulator says Morecambe’s owners may have breached information requirements without reasonable excuse and could face a censure statement. The case shows the new regulator’s powers, which can include fines, injunctions and even licence action.
