Greenock Morton FC financial sponsorship crisis

Overview

Greenock Morton Football Club is navigating financial difficulties stemming from a sponsorship dispute with tech firm Dalrada. While a £540,000 agreement was previously fulfilled, a subsequent £240,000 commitment has seen only £109,000 paid to date. Monthly payments from Dalrada declined sharply from £45,000 in May 2026 to £7,000 in July, with no payments received in August.

In response to the £335,000 shortfall, the club has turned to supporter-led initiatives. The Morton Fighting Fund and various contributions have raised nearly £50,000, and the Morton Club Together membership has increased, providing approximately £1,400 in monthly recurring income.

Although the club maintains it has sufficient liquidity and no debt through the new year, the board has stated that external investment is necessary for long-term stability. The club remains committed to its SPFL obligations and has stated it has “no intention of forfeiting any scheduled fixture.”
