Colkitto Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Possible re-sign? Maybe not as Moore is looking for players who can cover more than one position which McKinlay can't Don't think he will re-sign but he can cover LB and LM. Don't blame me I voted Yes!!!! - We tried to tell you !!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I don't think Moore or McKinley will want to work together again soon. Kinda left on a bad note with Kev saying Moore 'should have been a man about it' and told him he was leaving. Peter Weatherson is the greatest player since Ritchie, and should be assigned 'chairman for life' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaunTon Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Like others I'm not sure what his best position is or indeed if one exists. Not the worst player I've seen but I won't be greetin in the pillow at the prospect of him not being here next season. Hope he finds someone to take him on but I doubt too many will be fighting for his signature. The bigger issue is that we are looking at wholesale changes for the start of next season and that's likely to be a bit of a lottery. Pre-season is looking to be quite important.

Dr Zhivago Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I wonder if any other team in Scotland will be willing to offer Monti a full-time contract? I'd be surprised, but then I'd never have thought Graham would have got a 2 year deal anywhere. No big loss... not good enough for a decent First Division team.

rex manning Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Im obviously in the minority on this one but I thought Monti could have became a very good player for us. He was never ever a left back though, hes a centre mid, or at a push on the left of a narrow midfield 4. With Jenks heading, and the deafening silence from Fred I thought Monti might have got a run in the middle of the park this season and possibly surprised a few people, ah well. The squad is getting a bit silly now, although i suppose we are not the only ones. The first division is gonna be a lucky dip at the moment. I want a pretentious signature too.

lemmington Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Average player and if he thinks he can get a better deal elsewhere then go get it. Well done Moore...2 offers is plenty. Let's get it right 1st time in League 1.No excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forza ton Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 not bothered at all that he's went to dundee. i suspect we're well rid of this wee man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsilitis Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 If he is representative of Dundee's replacements for the likes of Harkins and Forsyth, we can worry less about them next season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb Mess Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Morton offer Lemonade bottles. I know money is tight and i agree with the principle of reigning in wages but when a part time Irish outfit can offer better terms and then we offer less then match last years to Monti its clear we are continuing our recent history of fuddery when it comes to contracts. In the main I trust Moore and I think some of the flak outgoing players have fired off have aimed at the wrong man. We are a MEAN diddy team!!!

AJCTON Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 To be honest I dont have an issue with monti going, I thought he was a liability and could be very lazy. I do honestly feel he never gave his best at morton so bye carlo. I have no compunction in saying that if some chap starts throwing grenades or starts using pistols, we shall kill him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how we go about cutting the wage bill without cutting the wage bill and if some Irish club wants to chance their arm that's their business. I have no idea what wage Monti/Jenkins were on nor what they were offered but i do know that last season we again spent significantly more than we earned and that has got to be addressed. If Monti thought he was going to get an improved from us offer in those circumstances then he's daft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree its difficult, I just hope we are not using austerity as an excuse to reduce it beyond reasonable levels.. There is a danger we will end up a Stirling Albion and resign ourselves to mediocrity forever more. It will not inspire the stay away fans to come back. Away from the finances of players wages I do hope the new appointment to the board has some good ideas around how to cement Morton as part of this community and promote the club in a good light.

One is Gillian Donaldson who attended board meetings anyway as she is chief executive so that will not make much of a change. The other girl is a lawyer who helped the club when pursuing Mr Donaldson and I don't see her being much more than a passive board member offering advice when they face a legal issue.
