vikingTON Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Inverness rack up millions of pounds of losses at this level and so their budget is not in the same ballpark as ourselves, who no longer have that (foolish) luxury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t rule out him returning to Accies given he was in twice for talks with McGowan(who by the way he is as thick as thieves with) but things cooled owing to Taylor digging his heels in over a settlement. Is this according to the same sources that had it as a done deal fully two months ago aye? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve no idea, but the person who told me knows Imrie well. As to the Accies link, as I said there was contact but not recently owing to the ongoing Taylor situation, whether that is resurrected, I don’t know. Personally, owing to his links to McGowan, I’d rather we didn’t go for him and would prefer Rankin to be given the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he wants to employ Imrie as a Commercial Manager or something seeing as McGowan is now having nothing to do with the football side of the club... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORleyTON Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Did anyone travel to the Annan game? Only a warm up, but curious to see how we were. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solway Star Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 As an Annan supporter my take on the game was……Morton in command most of the game! You had a lot more of the ball as you would expect being two leagues above Annan! on saying that Morton in front twice but Annan came back twice. Second equaliser seemed to come from a mistake by your sub goalkeeper! All in all a decent pre season friendly with both sides seeming to enjoy it! To sum it up good 90 minutes enjoyed by a good crowd. All the best to Morton for the coming season! Cheers guys! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baba douche Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Lots of ITK chat here about salaries (especially at other clubs), and boardroom opinion. That's the best bit about the close season - keep up the good work 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me show you a visual representation of what will happen if one does show up They absolutely love pulling County fans up for spunking millions but will not for a second face the fact they're doing the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn't have Easdale in any serious starting line up. It did cross my mind that after the success of Garrity at Annan, maybe Imrie was looking to offload Easdale to Annan on loan. Would actually be the best thing for him as he's not going to progress beyond occasional short sub appearances at Cappielow. He needs to go somewhere to get game time and imho that means dropping a level or two. Edited June 29, 2022 by Alibi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is Garrity is just a much better footballer than Easedale, with maybe only a wee bit of a lack of pace standing between him and a really good career. Great touch on the ball and the capacity to do cute, unexpected things. I wonder if he'll end up playing in midfield rather than wide. McGregor and King also look as though they might have a future. I doubt Easedale would get a regular game at a decent Lowland League side, never mind League One (EK have just signed McHugh ffs). There are literally dozens of better players washing around in the lower levels, up here and in England; he's only at Cappielow because naebody's got the guts to bump him.

The rest definitely aren't out of your budget if you really wanted them. As many had generally suspected( mentioned by Gardiner on recent Wyness shuffle podcast. We don't really ever compete with other Scottish teams for players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't good enough for League 2, he's not good enough for any standard of football being brutally honest and everyone connect to Morton knows it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to BSC Glasgow in Sept 2020 until Jan 21 so the season was up and running by that point. BSC were playing games but Easdale hardly kicked a ball i dont think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
