Wee Sandy Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Whenever Morton go down it'll be like putting the old family dog down. Sure it gave us some laughs over the years and some nice memories but putting it out of it's misery is the kindest thing to do really. It'll be sad without them. Rather have GMFC than the crowd replacing them!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rtonfc Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Will be a shame to leave this forum, good lads who like to talk about their fitba, it's just a pity that most Morton fans are complete and utter bellend's haha!

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 In October Vikington tells all that Morton won't be relegated.... But in March he says that Morton were relegated last October. Well clown shoes, what is your spin on this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordieBoy80 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 To be fair to VikingTon he said that Morton probably wouldn't be relegated not that they definitely wouldn't be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenockRover Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I wonder what Dougie Wonka will do now his one decent opportunity to get someone else's cash to pay the bills via next season's league programme has been pished down the drain? How much would it take to buy him off the pot? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessieField Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Can anybody tell me which are the best male incontinence pads? It's just that everytime I read VT's drivel about how great Morton are/were I pish myself laughing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would it take to buy him off the pot? Old Father Time is the most likely force towards that. The bizarre scenario peddled has been that losing Sevco etc. hurts the club - for Morton, it actually doesn't. The club is already running a hopeless, unattainable loss to Golden Casket - £320k in 2012/13 - dropping out of the Championship just leads to a greater, equally unattainable loss to Golden Casket. No matter what happens, that money is simply not returning to Rae's parent company. His company loses out; not the club. Golden Casket will never be able to sell the club for the value of its loans (£2 million), and won't be able to increase its asking price even as their loans increase year after year. The realistic asking price was established by market forces, years ago. Which given the already pleasing levels of excitement about going to Forfar, Brechin, Stranraer etc. away next season, and Rae's 100% culpability in the result of this campaign, does not seem to me a major burden to be suffered by the fans. The club is relegated, yet the chairman is at fault, and it's far worse, and far more likely to discredit Rae than diminish the fan-base, and only one of the two is vital to creating a viable strategy for the future. I ultimately reckon relegation has killed Rae's credibility; he can run the club under distinct protest; he can never again represent a positive vision. His era is over in an extraordinary whimper: within 12 months of a potential high, title-success from which he could bow out as a benevolent figure, regardless of his many failures a realistic legend of the area. It's a bizarre twelve-month, manager-sacking, Celtic-beating chapter that will ultimately require a great deal of explanation. At best we'll put together a competent squad underneath Shiels to storm League One at the first time of asking, at worst, the financial issues will hit in a death-implosion that would temporarily lead to administration and another spell in League Two if not the Lowland League. Which in terms of away days and general experiences, I would not complain about, so long as the club survived. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter couldn't put a worse team together than either Moore or Shiels. In fact , there is evidence that Morton were better under Moore than Shiels . League 1 is awful but I wouldn't bank on you coming straight back up . Don't know the stats off hand but Morton's results must be about the worst in history for the second tier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This from the guy who wanted the Seaside League teams to be cast aside like a broken toy, just about a year or so ago. The hypocrisy is overwhelming, VT.

Wasps1 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Sheils will get 5 months of next season to get morton going again . Getting relagated will cost the club 500 k in the long run Get rid of all the big time charlies and start again In my view I would get shot of sheils as well and get a young hungry manager . Do u think the club will go part time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
