I know it is and i hope my fears are unfounded.

Far too early for that talk. Let's see who we retain from the current squad and then what incoming signings there is. Hopefully we have something resembling a squad by the start of the league Cup section.

I'll admit to being a panic merchant on this occasion but even now I've a really bad feeling about next season.

Not much been said about Livingston (and perhaps St. Johnstone/Ross County) picking up a £1 million UEFA solidarity payment on top of a completely unmerited parachute payment. It’s the often overlooked reason why supporting Scottish clubs in Europe does us no good whatsoever. It’s very easy to say that Celtic coining £30 million in Champions League money is shite, but the drip-down effect is also rotten. Thankfully, Scotland’s beginning to fall down the rankings a bit, but that can easily change quickly with Rangers more likely to get regular Europa League football rather than Champions League hosings. The stronger Scotland’s performances in Europe, the more likely we are to see the Premiership becoming the reserve of no more than 14 clubs, and the Championship title race becoming a procession, if that isn’t already the case, with perennial Championship clubs like ourselves losing every tiny piece of hope we may previously have had. A really crap state of affairs, but reason, if we ever needed it to vociferously back whatever team of Sammarinese waiters St. Mirren draw in the Conference League Qualifiers.

As it stands for the new season: _____________Mullen New____Baird____New_____New _________Wilson___New New_________New_________New _____________Davies Subs: Murdoch, Bearne, O'Boy, King I expect at least a few will re-sign, but with nothing decided yet and a few linked with moves it could be an interesting summer ahead.

Thanks Cappiecat, wondered what had happened to 12ftladder

That article also mentions outside interest being shown in Cameron Blues as well. With the demise of 12ftladder, I've found a new tool to get past paywalls; smry.ai

Best wishes to both of them. Power I'm sure could do a job a division or two down, and I hope French can somehow recover his potential.

https://www.greenocktelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/24303853.robbie-muirhead-livingston-linked-morton-top-scorer/ Bit at the bottom here about French and Power having moved on, not that either were expected to stay anyway. Power ended up being quite important for us but ultimately just doesn't have the legs for another year at this level of football. Goes with best wishes.

Jimmy Gourlay acting as his agent, i believe.

Muirhead linked with a move to livingston

Imrie and Morton have revived the fortunes of a number of players who had hit a bit of a dip in their careers - Muirhead, Crawford, Oakley, Gillespie, Quitongo, Wilson and even Strapp (to an extent) fall into that bracket. I'm fully confident Dougie can continue to do that, particularly with a slightly bigger budget behind him. The likes of Muirhead, Oakley and Crawford moving on after a couple of years good service is always going to be the norm for us. Chucking big wages and multi-year deals at mid-table level players in in their late 20s in order to keep them is far riskier than trying to look for replacements who sit comfortably within our budget. I'd argue that Arbroath fell foul of this exact issue in the last 18 months - their premium part time squad ended up with too many miles on the clock.

Likely. Doesn't really have a bearing on the club making their announcement with a list of released and those offered a deal.

I don't think it's a surprise that players like Crawford, Oakley, and Muirhead are being linked with other clubs from the point of view that we know that Dougie would want to keep them and none of them signed extensions to their contracts at any point. We've shown in the last year or two that we're happy to get players signed on for the following season. Looks like we could have big turnover for next season. I don't think that's particularly great news. There can be disagreement over how valuable each of those players are, but we know that none of them are awful.

Would have thought some players are waiting to see how the playoffs, etc go before committing to anything too.

Absolutely no good luck to him, after turning down a contract with The Famous to chase more money in the seaside leagues with Queen of the South and their delusional promotion 'warchest'. Which has worked out splendidly for all involved. That's the point where his career as a credible full-time professional footballer actually ended.

Cool your jets. Literally only 1 club has released such an update so far. But aye, shouldn't be too long if the conversations were taking place from yesterday.

Gavin Reilly leaving QoS to and is joining Arbroath. He is apparently starting an apprenticeship outside of football and wants to play part time. Good luck to him

I think someone mentioned that the players were being told yesterday where they stand going into summer, so I'd imagine we'll be hearing some news over the next few days.

I thought from what had been said recently that we would have had by now the list of players being released and those with whom contract discussions are underway. Is that imminent?

The bit in bold. The club are missing a trick by not getting that Fat Matt character to shout at people from a passing motor.

End of the day players come players go Morton will always be here.

All fair enough. I spoke to him about it at the AGM and it was addressed the following day, and my pal’s happy, so fair enough, benefit of the doubt and all that. I do like a moan, but Warren Hawke or Dave MacKinnon he ain’t.
