You talking about a different Oakley?

That's not the counter you maybe think it is.

Said absolutely nobody.

It was well documented that McGinty got a massive contract from Hopkin and when he signed his new deal there was nothing to suggest he took a 50% pay cut or anything like that. Just keep Timmins away from the scouting. He was a.bit of a joke figure at Morton.

Is he the last of the lot that got the Hopkin contracts...

10 years is a stretch - Duffy might have had a bigger one and McKinnon - but definitely said to be increased on recent years. Not hard when we have the lowest in the division and budget for 8th every year. Oakley probably asked to match the £2k McGinty gets.

Doesn't make any of that untrue though does it? He WAS unhappy at ICT. He WAS grateful for the move to Morton. He has been really happy at the club rekindling his love of football. He does love working under Dougie No matter what though, this is a significant point of change. That team is being broken up, it will be a different Morton next season so he'll be adapting to a new team next season whether he stays or goes. There's only 4 managers in the entire SPFL who have been in situ longer than Dougie so the odds on Dougie seeing out whatever next contract Oakley would sign get shorter by the day. So the choice of different at Morton or different elsewhere for significantly more money is a very real one, regardless of how happy he has been for the last 18 months.

You mean ICT who are on the brink of an existential crisis after their battery farm plan B to deal with huge annual losses was rejected and Partick who would have had to default on wages last season had they not drawn Rangers in the cup?

Not sure about that. He has form for swings and misses recently. More likely.

Plots thickening all over the place.

That's Imrie saying WTF is the tele boy talking such shite for. Right?

The more rational reply. A lot of the other replies getting wound by the word bankrolled. I didn't exactly call you the next Gretna - Raith and QP are already in the league to fly that flag. But like you say, you do have the financial support of a Chairman that can assist. Morton literally have to live within our means or we are fucked.

Because like most fanbases, we also have our fair share of mouth breathers. The rest of us know that Morton have arguably the smallest budget in the league whilst Ayr are bankrolled.

We'll talk... when there's something to talk about.

Pretty daft to push that rubbish about a fan owned club.

Yes, you do, only each country's top 10 gets points. Being middle of the road can actually be a bigger Eurovision death knell than being bad (as sometimes being so bad it's good can be a thing that picks up a few points). Every country could think you are the 11th best and you end up on zero points as a result. Yet the UK continue to favour middle of the road pop...

We send an actual vocalist with a song to showcase said powerful vocal and nearly win it. Them revert back to middle of the road pop songs with weak vocals.

Is it that hard to believe? Where would you have ranked our song out of the 25?

Bomb the uk

Hahaha

Tough gig being a sub.

Dafuq uk.

Rigged the whole thing last year to get the anniversary in Sweden and still couldn't get ABBA on.
