    The link on the Begbie side doesn't even link to the report which apparently was published in October. 

    These "reports" are identical to the press releases that the 'journalists' are printing verbatim, there's no actual details in them.

    B-T run a service that do credit scores for companies then release reports like these as a contrived marketing exercise. A broken pdf link seems appropriate for the lack of effort that goes into this.

    In her resignation speech, I think she made some reference to the conflict between the board and the fans affecting the sponsors. But who knows.

    They suggested sponsors were put off by the "fake news". Whilst I suspect that was intended as a cheap shot at fans on their way out the door, it just as equally reflects how little clout the board had with potential sponsors if they had lost control over that so called false narrative.

    Think you can only loan two at once to a club can you not?

    During the covid seasons, it was increased to four players from one club in a different league. I wasn't sure if it was decreased again, but a quick skim of the current rules states a max of:

    three Players League Registered with it on the basis of Temporary Transfers from any one other Club for the time being eligible to participate in another Division from itself; 

    So, three players if I'm reading that correctly.

    Sorry, what has he got? Pace? No. Crossing ability? No. Can he pass it? Not really. He controlled the ball out of the park today. Not been impressed any time I've seen him. Piss poor challenge at the end too, probably could have been a red. 

    With such poor judgement, you must be the scout who recommended Rovers sign big John.

    Alot of season books are on the Home Cup Ticket Scheme these days to give you any chance of getting a potential cup final ticket these days so whilst there will be  empty seats some of them will have been paid for for that game.

    I imagine most teams would declare their cup match income based on actual attendance rather than the theoretical number of tickets "sold", so this probably has no impact on the amount Morton receive. We'll get a decent amount I'm sure, but I wouldn't expect it to be a season changer.

    Could we see Griffiths at Gayfield on Saturday? Rumours are he could be donning the blue and white hoops shortly

    Morton aren't playing in hoops. You've missed the target, just like Griffiths did at Falkirk and just like whoever brought back the low effort Griffiths rumours from pre-season.

    We are delighted to say that the plot of land behind the Cowshed at Sinclair Street has been obtained by the club from Inverclyde Council, and feasibility studies are already underway into potentially developing this area. We will be making further announcements about that soon.

    Time for a bigger and better club-owned Norseman?

    If Leigh Griffiths is willing to reduce his wages to get his career back on track we should go get him - time is not on our side to dilly dally around waiting for strikers in the January window.

    I think his brief stint playing in Australia overlapped the end of the transfer window in Scotland, so he can't register for a club here until the next transfer window.

    Can I just query if this is the case. Low wants away, the club are willing to let him go if the price is right and failing that will put him out on loan but not to a team in the Championship?

    Transfer window has closed so if he's leaving before January, it's either on loan or because Arbroath terminate his contract.

  10. Hamilton would be a decent starter for most Championship and League 1 sides. Good deal for Livi since he'll probably be on loan the whole time and might turn out to be a better prospect than Schwake. Maybe not the best deal for him, but that's the risk of holding out for so long and I'd be surprised if we were the only ones to offer him a contract after last season.

    Crawford looks a decent signing. A bit more experience will hopefully have a positive impact on what is quite a young squad.

  11. There was a comment at the MCT EGM that the budget was originally going to be lower than last season, although sponsorship helped improve that slightly. Given the number of players to have left and the middling quality of some of the signings, you'd surely hope there was still a bit of money left over and that the budget wasn't that bad.

    Hopefully he was just being careful with his words and not wanting to promise too much. Maybe he was just playing fans to try encourage more season ticket purchases, or playing the board to try get a better budget, but it didn't seem like the right context for that.

    Surprised the supposedly imminent arrival of Kabia hasn't materialised yet but hope it does, he seems like he'd be a decent shout for a starter.
