Morecambe are slowly dying while they wait 900 days for a new owner Morecambe waited 87 years to get into the Football League. Now their very existence is under threat

I went to Morecambe, one of England’s crisis clubs. They need new ownership or there may be no end to their fall. A town waits for the worst and it should never have come to this.

Something that England captain Harry Kane was not overly impressed with.
