They said we would get it in advance, yes, but it didn't say when. Hopefully before the day-of, but as long as it's at least a few hours before the meeting begins, that would be OK. Estrella Football Group Proposal Update Following the legal process of negotiation between Morton Club Together, Estrella Football Group and the legal representatives of both parties, details of the final draft of the investment proposal are now ready to be shared and voted upon by the membership. The final draft of the agreement will be shared via email before the AGM on 17th August. The AGM will serve as an opportunity for MCT members to discuss the proposed investment. An online vote will then be held on the proposal, opening at 9am on Tuesday 18th August and running until 5pm on Thursday 20th August. The result will then be shared with the membership on Friday 21st August, as well as a roadmap of the next steps.

We're potentially about to sign a new major sponsor/strategic partner/investor/whatever you want to call it, there's the light at the end of the tunnel ya Eeyore-faced prick.

Job attractiveness might matter if we were in the market for a high-earning manager with a good track record but the state we're in right now, we just need a right ambitious bastard who'll come in and make the place in his own image.

I agree, no need for a statement. Murray should, behind closed doors, be given a warning about his conduct. No more statements til Estrella is resolved one way or the other.

Unless he chooses to walk without compensation he's not going anywhere. The club however needs to tell him to shut up. He reports to BoD, they need to be clear that his conduct is completely unacceptable.

What about this specific criticism, that he's now undermining the integrity of the club by saying we might have to forfeit games?

It's annoying that while everyone can admit that Murray has a really tough job, and there is indeed chaos behind the scenes, his clear dereliction of duty and his gross unprofessionalism is just handwaved away because he might have a difficult time of it at work. Boo fucking hoo. So does literally everyone else at the club. So do hundreds of millions of people worldwide every day. He's handling it like a spoiled wean. It's completely indefensible. And who didn't see this coming but his defenders? He'll be in sackcloth and ashes next.

Given that Saint Ian is in the papers saying we might have to forfeit games, do you still think this is Dalrada's fault, given the signings he's made with the budget he did have available?

The way he's acting is beyond unprofessional, that's my problem. There are young guys in the dressing room who need a bit of stability and a bit of encouragement, yet Murray's first priority every week is to preserve his own hide. It's really not on. We all know the limitations he's under, but why does he think he's the only one? Does he think the players are delighted at the situation, being favorites for 10th place, written off already? Does he think that's good for their careers? When Murray got the job I was pleased because I thought he was experienced enough to know the score but young enough to be ambitious and dynamic, but he's been the worst of both worlds: dogmatic about his shan 4-2-3-1 with zero goal threat on the one hand, and unable to be a leader of men on the other. It's absolutely not good enough. I don't underestimate the challenges he faces at all but he's got to meet them head-on. This Marvin the Paranoid Android act is disgraceful and he needs to be shaken out of it for the sake of him as well as the club.

Last week showed a bit of fight and recovery but by all accounts it's back to the same old this week. We're in freefall. No goals all season, wild. It's untenable.

Voting is now online for the director spots.

Running to the media because you don't understand how application responses work is not an auspicious beginning, and I think his "manifesto" is by far the weakest of all of them. Reducing turmoil and building links with local schools are great. Focusing on "homegrown talent" is not. The game's changed. I have seen him at some Morton events and he does seem like a good guy, and his love for the club is undeniable. That's not my issue here.

Well, they're on the official candidates list. I will be voting against them, since flapping their gums to the papers the second they don't get the red carpet treatment bodes ill for what is already a very leaky club.

That was much improved, fair play to Murray and the players. If not for the officials we'd have got a very creditable point against a promotion favorite. Next week I think we can get a result.

Behave, that was refereeing error of the year. Sure if we sat back we'd have more cover around the penalty spot l, but you can't really legislate for when a linesman decides he's a dozy week prick and won't follow the laws of the game. I've been one of Murray's biggest critics but this has been good, all things considered. Hopefully this puts a bit of fire around the place. If that was me in the dugout and I was talking to the media after the game, I'd be getting an SFA fine. Absolutely sick of these holier than thou wee sadact refs who demand respect from everyone but won't do the bare minimum of what they're paid to do and take no responsibility for their game-changing errors.
