That's the spirit. Beg for investment, then when we get it ask why the investors are bothering. There's no winning with some folk.

Does he have less of a budget than Linlithgow Rose? Or enough of a budget not to produce the worst league cup campaign a championship club has ever produced? We're still full time, if he's signing players to play football as their only job then he needs to be beating 5th tier football teams, I can't see any justification to the contrary. My take on fan ownership is basically that it's the only show in town until an interested party appears who thinks they can do any better. EFG might, at least they are stumping up cash and some outside expertise. If a proper buyer turns up with the money to better what MCT have been doing then fine, I'm not married to paying out of my own pocket to prop up club capital forever. The alternative is hoping for a sugar daddy to absorb losses in the way that Dougie Rae kind of did. If someone with that kind of cash to burn wanted to buy Morton then they would have, I reckon.

Budget problems or no Murray should resign for this. It's been working alright until Dalrada left us short and we hired a dud manager. Who we selling the shares to then and how will they fund the club?

The people running the club weren't given an option on how to spend it, it was specifically to be spent on the first team and Imrie did that. And this is true - despite the Dalrada money we were still well outgunned. We've been lucky that Imrie generally had us punching above our budgetary weight for the last few years. We were always going to have a bad year and go down, it was inevitable with what the teams around us are prepared to lose. Murray just has us speedrunning that part this year.

Yeah cowardly stuff from a dick of a player. Shug putting him in his place is what you need when you have kids on the park.

The two draws he got in that pitiful run in were both against teams playing the last 30+ minutes with 10 men as well.

0-4 Stenny 0-1 Linlithgow 0-2 East Fife And that's kindly ignoring the Stranraer friendly where we didn't score either. If we can barely manage a fucking shot on target against that then it's definitely TTG.

It will be but it's still full time, so it's not worse than Linlithgow and East Fife bad.

It was TTG after the game at Dingwall. He can't be there when we start the league.

I also have a problem with this. Regardless of the club being skint or whatever, it would be good if someone could nudge Murray about the language he uses in interviews. If he thinks he can't succeed at the job then he should resign from it. He's actively going to turn folk away from the gates before they even see the football to moan about it.

Reading between the lines from the last MCT meeting with EFG guys in attendance, the guys involved with bringing Estrella to the table sought out investment from any avenue they could think of including locally. But the terms discussed were not acceptable, which again I take to mean the sale of Cappielow.

If there was an offer on the table that didn't include ownership of Cappielow and the land we'd have heard about it. We need to see where Estrella's 35% gets us. Skint or not we should have enough about us to field a team capable of beating Stranraer and Linlithgow Rose. That's not the fault of MCT, just the manager and the players he's signed.

I've only just watched Murray's interview and there's a lot of waving away of criticism. Oh well it's only our 2nd game of pre season, we've had a lot of turnover in the squad, we have a lot of inexperienced players, inexperienced defenders mean you're just going to concede goals and that's part of football. Get this guy in the sea.

I don't think it can be understated how bad that was. Totally embarrassing standard for a Championship team and we were actually outplayed for a lot of that game. It should actually give the 'ambishun' mob a shake. We didn't lose to 5th tier opposition, while barely laying a glove on them, because we lacked the ambition to do so. We lost because a combination of a crap manager and seemingly crap players managed to fuck up a game against such lowly opposition. The most concerning thing was how outplayed we were for much of that game. It wasn't a plucky, backs-to-the-wall job. LR definitely deserved to win which is not on from Murray's point of view. I think he should have left after the Ross County game at the end of last season, so Murray has no credit to play with. If he loses another couple of these league cup group games he should resign, or be sacked if he doesn't. We can't afford to persist with him.
