Mckinnon To Leave For Falkirk Tonight

It is with sadness and a tinge of resentment that I have to report to our supporters that Ray McKinnon and Darren Taylor have intimated their resignation tonight.

 

While we have rejected their resignation as they are contracted to the club until 31 May 2019, it does appear that they have left us prematurely.

 

Ray McKinnon was an outstanding candidate through our interview stages and came into the club having only four players under contract.

 

Ray did a fantastic job in a very short space of time in putting together a team with a backbone of experience that not only played good football but displayed enormous drive and determination.

 

Ray and Darren raised the bar and I really thought that we had something great going on. My relationship with Ray seemed to be fantastic.

 

And while he was only contracted until 31st May 2019, I genuinely thought that we had somebody special who shared our vision moving forward.

 

I was at Parklea only this morning watching our team going through their final preparations for tomorrow’s encounter with Partick Thistle and I was to blown away by the camaraderie and dedication all the players showed towards Ray and Darren.

 

I spoke with Ray about his formations for tomorrow’s game and he intimated that he wanted to delay his starting eleven until he got to Firhill tomorrow.

 

I left the training ground on an absolute high and on my way back to my car I received a phone call from Falkirk to ask permission to speak with our manager.

 

I was told that the friendship and the regard that Falkirk had for our club was important which was why they chose to ask permission to speak to Ray.

 

It is ironic that six hours later, Falkirk announce Ray McKinnon as their new manager and to me it is clear that there could have been previous discussions with our manager ahead of their phone call to me.

 

We will be speaking with the appropriate counsel on our options moving forward, and we will keep our support up to speed as we look to fill our vacant managerial position.

 

I have spoken with Jim, Midge and Tids personally tonight to apologise to all the boys who bought into Ray’s vision and to reassure them that we will still deliver for them.

 

The three of them all told me that their determination and team bonding has increased ten fold. We certainly look forward to this.

 

Tomorrow at Firhill, Derek Anderson and John Sutton will take the reins and will be in the dugout together and I would ask all our supporters to get right behind the team.

 

Let’s do this together!

In a way that statement is actually more scathing than something more overtly aggressive would have been, if has to be said.

 

I tweeted this earlier but the thing that's really angered me is turning up for the picture, inviting the office staff in, doing the interviews etc as normal. That's beyond fucking a football team over, that's genuinely appalling behaviour on a human level and Crawford's statement only strengthens that. Torn between anger, resentment and sympathy for the staff and players who have been taken for absolute mugs by an absolute fuckin serpent.

Hope so, hope it has a massive f*** you effect on the team. Hope he relegates falkirk and we use them as whipping boys this season

I have no compunction in saying that if some chap starts throwing grenades or starts using pistols, we shall kill him

Hound the slimy wee cockroach for the rest of his life, Absolutely two faced mercenary. And never ever deal with them in the transfer market.

 

Mark Russell must be pretty sick right now. Unwanted by his new manager.

 

I am on holiday next time they come to Cappielow. Sorry to miss that hounding.

Fair fucks to Crawford but now he has to follow through. He's made a public allegation that Falkirk tapped up our manager, and he knows that's serious, so he won't have done it lightly. Now he's said he will involve counsel. We'll, let's take it to them. Let's absolutely rinse these theiving scumbags. Every Morton fan is right behind you, Crawford, if you take the fight to Falkirk and McKinnon and Taylor.

Plenty things happen at a club that make you a laughing stock amongst your own fans but no one on the outside really notices e.g turnstiles, but when a single person does something to make you a laughing stock in the whole country then they should forever be hounded from now until eternity.

 

Never forget.

Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!

"The friendship and regard that Falkirk had for our club". :ill: :ill: :ill: :ill:

 

Pass the f*cking sickbag, they're a ****ing disgusting shower.

I genuinely want the club to disconnect the electricity and hot water from their changing room, sprinklers on for their warm-up and the like. Make it an ordeal for the cunts from the moment they arrive.
