Derek Adams was sacked as manager on Monday and replaced with Ashvir Singh Johal, the first Sikh to manage professionally in England, on Tuesday. "With new ownership steering the club into a new era, optimism is building both on and off the pitch," Morecambe said in a statement.

Morecambe FC was just hours from expulsion from the National League but finally fans have hope after a takeover makes history, with a new manager already appointed

Former Carlisle United captain and Workington Reds boss Danny Grainger has left his role at Morecambe following the club's takeover.

After spending more than a year attempting to purchase the club from previous owner Jason Whittingham, new owners Panjab Warriors set out to make an immediate impression on Morecambe in their first hours in charge.

Morecambe's suspension from the National League has been lifted after the club's takeover by the Panjab Warriors consortium was confirmed on Sunday.
