Developing MCT/GMFC Board Situation
9 Strathblane Crescent replied to ADTon's topic in General Morton Chatter
Tell me there is a plan B, and we haven't just lost over £500k in sponsorship to satisfy somebody's ego. Tell me we have someone in the wings to replace Dalrada our major sponsor. Tell me we are not heading for the seaside leagues for the rest of eternity. Tell me the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse haven't taken over the MCT board and are hell-bent on destruction of both MCT and GMFC. Tell me the MCT board are going to eventually tell the members what the f0ck is going on. Tell me when we are having an EGM to explain to the members why this action has been taken. Tell me when the board of MCT are resigning if they don't have a plan B that doesn't jeopardise our club. -
I believe the majority of the land is owned by Peel Ports, whilst the remainder is owned by Riskend Aggregates.

Would moving Cappielow to Pottery Street, if we could find the investment, be a better option? New purpose built stadium.

Under NO circumstances should people who are not directors of MCT be directors of GMFC Property Ltd. Both Gordon Ritchie and Stewart Farmer should resign from GMFC Property Ltd and be replaced by ALL the directors of MCT. NEVER should the people who are directors of GMFC Property Ltd be unnaccountable to the membership of MCT. That should be written into the MCT Articles of Association. -

I'm not sure how you get from "a potential investor in MCT" to "buying the ground at an under market value price". You can't "invest" in MCT it's a membership organisation based on one man one vote. You can donate money through your membership contributions but you can't invest. The members of MCT own GMFC Property Ltd and unless persuaded otherwise wouldn't sell the ground "at an under market value price" because once the ground is gone that really would be the end. -

Maybe you should talk to Stuart rather than speculate on why he left. -

Good post but that's only scratching the surface of what needs to change. Many folk on here have concerns about how the club is being run and need answers. What happened to being "open and transparent" when even the board of MCT are being kept in the dark by the board of GMFC. Not always seen eye to eye with Capitanus but his 'Ivry buddy chips in munny' and don't look for answers looks like an ongoing trend. -
Missed the original post.

Anyone else think we are about to lose our commercial manager if this venture takes off? https://www.inverclydenow.com/new-outdoor-advertising-business-launches-in-inverclyde/

Anyone looking at the accounts of Morton will quickly realise that the club has failed to make a profit or break even in all but one season in the last 20 years. If you think MCT can turn that around quickly you're not operating in the real world. The club do need the money from MCT members to keep going until such time they get their act together and find other ways to generate revenue. How long that will take nobody knows, worryingly MCT don't appear to know either and the members will only give the current board a limited time to get it right. The quicker we make the changes at Cappielow that are required the better for all our sakes. -

That will sound the death knell of the club. If people do that the club will quickly go into administration and eventually liquidation. -

Don't agree, there are people within MCT who know we need big changes but like all change it takes time, effort and commitment. -

Did make an offer to take Morton off of Crawford Rae's hands but wanted Golden Casket as part of the deal. -

I agree with this, but why do we have to wait until we are relegated to do the rebuilding and restructuring. Surely we can do both whether we manage to stay up or not? -

Don't always agree with some of the comments but then that's football. But I thought the discussion around the Q&A and MCT was spot on. Anyone I have spoken to are all of the same opinion and all have brought up the same concerns. I have no doubt there are folks within the MCT leadership team who share those concerns and are trying to have them resolved asap. MCT need to sort out their house as a matter of urgency I would say, maybe controversially, before we fix things on the park. What happens off the park affects what happens on the park and right now off the park looks as bad or maybe even worse than what's on the park. Someone in MCT needs to step up to the mark and sort both MCT and GMFC out. Some folks may say that that is Graham McLennan's job but the guy has his own personal issues to deal with and somebody else needs to man up and take control in the meantime or else this adventure is going to fall flat on it's face.
