Morecambe 'have no plan for next season' - Adams

Morecambe's defeat by Chesterfield on Saturday was their 29th loss in League Two this term

Morecambe boss Derek Adams has said the club still does not have a plan in place for next season as they prepare for a return to non-league football.

The Shrimps' 18-year stay in the English Football League came to an end as defeat by Salford City on Easter Monday brought a second relegation in three seasons.

Following their relegation, Adams said he was planning to be in the dugout next season but in the aftermath of Saturday's 4-1 League Two defeat by Chesterfield, the Scot said there is still uncertainty at board level as to what the plan will be for 2025-26.

"This is where the problem lies. The board of directors and the owner need to start planning," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"They don't have a plan. Until they get a plan, then we've got a problem. They are the ones that are the custodians of this football club."

Morecambe have been up for sale since September 2022 and face an uncertain future outside of the EFL.

It has been a tumultuous 12 months for the Shrimps, with points deductions and financial troubles overshadowing a difficult campaign on the field but Adams is pleased with the attitude his squad have shown this term.

"Yes we've made errors, yes we've made things wrong, that's what happens in life and in sport but do you know what? We can go to sleep at night, put our head on the pillow and say we've given all to this football club," he added.

"And that's all anybody can ask for."
