Ross Forbes is still playing for Thorniewood. I hope he’s having a lovely day.

We've had a few enquiries to the MCT Communications inbox today and I've responded to all of those that have been put to us courteously. As we do every month, the monthly update will be issued towards the end of this week, which will provide an overview of where we stand on the investment and a number of other issues.. I understand everyone's frustrations but we have to be careful as to how we approach updating members out of respect to the potential investors. For clarity, the Memorandum of Understanding was signed on 23rd March, not on 2nd March, the day of the most recent meeting, so we are currently on day 28 of the 60-day period. In the meantime, we've not put so much focus into promoting the Cappielow 150 infrastructure project yet so if anyone is interested in contributing to this incredibly worthwhile cause it would be much appreciated. And thank you to those who already have. There will be more focus put onto this when we get a donation option put onto Fanbase. Cappielow 150

If you feel I’m under-performing in my role, I invite you to raise a motion of no confidence against me. I can push it through quickly if you wish, and allow the members to decide. Unlike some, I would never wish to outstay my welcome. Now, where were we? Ah, yes… who were the sectarian bigots who hounded Jim McInally out of Cappielow for being a Catholic?

This is due to a hold up with the potential investors and their lawyers, which unfortunately is outwith our control. We’ve got folk working in the background but if we don’t have the information, we can’t share it. We’re aware that this is causing frustration for the members as we’re in a similar position but will have it out to you as soon as we can, while also making provisions to ensure nobody has to vote without having adequate time to make an informed decision.

Have to agree, I thought the referee had a very good game last night. That he took his time over the red card suggests he was listening to and communicating with his assistant, which isn’t something you often see at our level.

There was an Eventbrite invitation with the original mail, which iirc was the monthly update for January. That invitation expired on Saturday night though (there was a good reason for that, I can’t remember what though). Anybody wanting to join (via Microsoft Teams) please email finance@Mortonclubtogether.co.uk and David will send an invitation to join. I’d normally say to send it to the comms address but as I’ll be driving from East Kilbride I don’t want to have to fire everything through at the last minute when I arrive. Obviously the sooner the better so these can be sent out in good time, please. Hope this helps.

An update email will be provided this week.

What I’ve said was that I’ve found my experiences of working with him to be positive, although there have been points that I’ve disagreed with him. I didn’t say he wasn’t at fault for anything, just like I’ve conceded fault on my own and the MCT Board’s part in certain issues.

I can’t comment on previous apologies as I wasn’t involved in the MCT Board at the time and don’t have the patience or energy to search back. But from day one our experiences of working with Graham has been nothing but positive, even in challenging times. That’s not to say we always agree, but it would be concerning if we did agree on everything.

Don’t think he was entirely serious.

No, David and Graham aren’t in any way related.

In answer to both questions, no. A majority had been reached between our board and the representative we have on the club board to make it unnecessary to take it to the club board. Brian and Paul are brothers.

Forgot about this one. Who were the sectarian bigots who hounded Jim McInally out of Cappielow for being a Catholic?

Regarding the club statement, after our own statement and the feedback from that I requested the club statement be removed. My request was met with a majority disapproval. With the meeting, you note that I’ve said at least fourteen days will be provided. I’ve also said the meeting will take place in January. That remains the case. Regarding your point about my own agendas and questioning, I’m a Morton fan who has posted on these forums for 25 years or so, and have as much right to ask what I wish as you have to ask what you wish. That I’m an MCT director doesn’t change that, and I’ll continue to ask what questions of others I please. And your vote of no confidence against me- as a former director, you’ll be able to advise the membership of my failings, so rather than voting against me, like I said to Danny the other day, I invite you to raise a motion of no confidence against me.l and allow the broader membership to decide. If I’m not performing, or my conduct isn’t to the taste of the members, I’ll step aside. The decision to keep the statement on the club’s website is a joint decision between the boards of the club and MCT. While I may not agree with that decision, I also take responsibility for that. Now, after losing my new year, I’m going to enjoy a day out at the football with my mates, so will park this until tomorrow at the earliest. Happy New Year, “Roger”.
