Alert Mongoose Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Will it have a League One get out clause in the pre-contract? Not likely to visit the seaside via Grangemouth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, he’s used to being at the seaside already mate. Morton are a classic seaside club.Plus the seaside towns he will visit are a lot nicer.What’s he got to lose? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During my time supporting Morton, we were decent from 1963 until about the late 80s, with a particularly good spell from 1977 until about 1982 when we tended to be in the top half of the top division most years until towards the end of the season we ran out of steam. Watching the Ritchie era team was as good as it gets, and unlikely to be repeated. Thereafter we have under-performed woefully, with only occasional flashes of being a reasonably good team. I think more than anything else, Bosman pretty much destroyed our business plan which was based on selling a player every year, although we're not alone in that respect. At the moment, the BoD at Morton don't actually seem to be too bothered about trying to get promoted - the lack of ambition is palpable. Falkirk might have won the odd trophy, but to me they are a nothing team, basically uninteresting in the extreme. Basically they are invisible. Were it not for the Mckinnon pantomime (and undoubtedly Mckinnon comes out of that looking like a prize toley), I would take no interest whatsoever in your club. You are like Livingston but in a different colour of shirt. if you drop down a division, you may well keep going down.

Id guess we have made more money in transfers post Bosman (rough guess Id say around £3M) than we did pre Bosman and probably the same with quite a few clubs, so I dont know how you can blame Bosman. We used to be kings of taking 50k or so for our players whilst the likes of yourselves, Airdrie and even Raith were getting six figures. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lost a manager that had you playing quite well to a team with more money who were at the bottom of the league then replaced him with the Poundstore Litmanen. Three points re your post: First, Ray the Reptile's transfer targets were pretty much accommodated by Morton so no lack of backing or funding there. Second, a bit disingenuous to say he had us "playing quite well". He took us out of two cup competitions in no time at all with very poor performances, then scraped a somewhat fortunate result against Alloa in the first league game. The only decent result and performance was a win against Ross County. Third, everyone has 20-20 vision in hindsight but at the time when JJ was appointed it was generally thought to be a forward-thinking appointment. Every managerial appointment is a risk - as we found with the gimp before him - but it looked like a chance worth taking at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woof, dangerous talk. They’ll be busting a gut to get you banned on here. One of the Mods over there is allegedly an SFA coach who hides behind a whole string of sock puppet aliases to malign managers and players, in direct contravention of SFA Rules. Maybe Falkirk Dishonourables ladies team should offer him a new challenge. Their lady chairman seems a bit vague when it come to Scottish Law Society Rules of conduct. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
