I believe the wages, etc were due at the end of the month so, technically, there may not have been an infringement.
Perhaps it was the players’ expectation, maybe because it usually happened, that wages would paid on or before the weekend that caused the latest kerfuffle.

According to one of their fans on Shrimps Voices, wages are due on 28th of each month - in March 2023, they weren't paid until 31st which led to the fines & eventual 3 point deduction. They might only have been a day late this time but it depends on how the Efl view it

Like us, they are a small Club, therefore they will get punished......

It's possible that the compensation paid to bring Ged back went towards Morecambe's wages

Is it though? He's abandoned ship twice when the grass seemed greener, the club still has an embargo & their dodgy owner is still stalling on selling so little has changed - small wonder then that he's not signed a contract tying him to the Shrimps for any length of time but one which will allow him to leave with no notice should things not improve - he was out of work for a while so would imagine a pay packet was welcome even if only for a short time.
Don't get me wrong, I hope things do work out & they get back on their feet but they are definitely not out of the woods yet by a long way

It is great news. The first time was when Bradford offered him a huge pay-rise that we couldn't match. The other time was when the club sale fell through and he had the chance to go back to "his club" , Ross County.

It sounds today that the club sale will go through in the next 10 to 14 days and Derek has been given his budget and starts tomorrow recruiting.

Derek is the only Morecambe manager I have ever heard with a vision for the club , he thinks we can make the Championship (like Burton and Yeovil did) and wants a new stand down the open terrace.

The club think the Embargo will be lifted shortly as well.

Hope all goes well for Morecambe going forward. IMOP Adams is a great
manager at our level and only jumps ship when he's not getting a fair deal. Hopefully all will settle down for the new season ahead.

Hope it works out

Embargo lifted yesterday and 15 players signed (is that a record for 1 day !) Also a delegation of potential new owners from the Sub-Continent were being shown round the stadium so maybe a bit of light at the end of the tunnel without it being a train coming !

Good news

Just hope they are decent.....
