Morecambe mystery bidder named
Yesterday at 05:26 AM
Writing on his The Ugly Game blog last week, the excellent Martin Calladine revealed the identity of the man currently trying to buy League Two (fourth-tier) side Morecambe: Kuljeet Singh Momi, a 48-year-old businessman with nine active directorships of London-based firms.
There is nothing particularly exciting about any of these
companies but the same cannot be said about some of the firms of which Singh
Momi has previously been a director, as they include several with close links
to Sarbjot Johal, the 22-year-old "entrepreneur" who has spent over a year
failing to convince the EFL he has the money to buy Morecambe.
Singh Momi has not explained why he wants
to buy Morecambe but has issued a statement via the club website to strongly
distance himself from Johal and explain that he has been trying to buy the club
since the summer. In fact, Singh Momi says, he has been loaning Morecambe
money, interest-free, for over a year and has already bought some shares.
