If only your looming administration event and club thread being moved to the *checks notes* Scottish League 1 General Chatter gave the game away sooner. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if that means that he doesn't like the younger players, just has his favourites or is an all round arsehole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our current position in the pyramid is wildly irrelevant. A game 7 of the World Series level 'swing and a miss' from you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Without wishing to intrude, I listened to the last couple of episodes of the Wyness Shuffle last night and Morrison sounded like it wouldn't take a lot for him to be persuaded to go, and to take Gardiner with him. Excellent interview by the guys running the podcast, who I think also post here. Fwiw, your club may be an absolute binfire but it's the best single club podcast I've come across. So, swings and roundabouts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 The story I have heard is that Gardiner is out but is taking legal action about it. The accounts have been delayed due to issues with the payment from Kraftwerk or whatever that Norwegian company are called. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Killington Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) Morrison is definitely gone as director too. Edited June 4 by Buzz Killington Grammar and speeling 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gardiner has been removed then they'll be working on his settlement agreement. Absolutely standard and takes at least a few days to iron out even when everyone is on the same page. If one of the parties is a bell-end and things are acrimonious then it obviously takes longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're right Gardiner is a type that will sue for the max so that scenario will drag out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work with someone who's brother played under Bollan and said that he was absolutely horrific. A proper melt of a man For Morrison to claim on the Wyness Shuffle he's put in tens of thousands in the last few weeks only to leave the club shortly after is rather wild. He had the air of a man who cares about the club but who had sunk so much money in that he was at a point where he was really struggling to reconcile the difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdu98196 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 1 hour ago, virginton said: A club that relies on multiple local businesses to 'sponsor' (subsidise) its fundamental business model in perpetuity is not sustainable. There's a difference between offering sponsorship at a market rate, and relying on local businessmen to chip in to do their bit for your project. https://www.heraldscotland.com/business_hq/23231819.scottish-football-sweetie-firm-red-greenock-morton-write-off/ Least we had the good times. What did Morton achieve with their debts.................jobbing around obscurity in the Championship being a notable highlight? Fact that as a club Morton have only recently started to get their own shit together and house in order is testament that this is the overwhelming model within Scottish (and beyond) football - there is little to no sustainability at any level. Without picking holes the reality is that Morton were only 3 points themselves from being in a play-off place. For any sustainable club and how long do the fanbase accept and back a modest regime with limited spending & progress compared to those still 'bank rolled' - most will eventually turn on their current regime to push boundaries while longing for a 'sugar daddy'. I will caveat though Morton fans may be different as they have a low bar to gauge against http://stats.football.co.uk/league_history/greenock_morton/index.shtml 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt Morrison put in a large amount of money into the club in the last few weeks. If he hadn't the players wouldn't have been paid. It's really that bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdu98196 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 There's a lot of obsessives from other clubs following the Caley even down in the seaside leagues. For all the faults of previous administrations at our club, they have clearly done some things right as we have obviously rattled these supporters from less successful clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether thats a tenner or four grand its not clear what was agreed. Personally I consider while Dunc may be found wanting, there are huge questions over Bollan also - either he is inept and hasnt learned anything from years at this level regarding tactics and recruitment or too scared to speak out against Duncball. Either way he needs punted too. He's inept. And not a people person 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
