HamCam Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 App Morton’s debt to golden casket has been cleared in full. Does this suggest DDFR wrote off the debt as a final gesture or is the money coming from somewhere else to allow it to be cleared? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Or Crawford is looking for a quick exit? Likely IMO. Clearing the decks ahead of sale by writing off the debt. The club were never going to be able to pay it back anyway. 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...
port-ton Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Someone told me that Crawford told staff at Golden Gasket that he's selling the club. Not sure how true that is as don't see why you'd announce it to them before it's been finalised and at least close to being publicised. Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EanieMeany Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Always suspected that when Crawford spoke of wanting to reach the top flight for his dad and handing out one year deals that there was an element of having one last crack while he was still alive (which sounds horribly callous, but isn't meant to be...) and then move the club on after that time if it didn't come off. When Dougie stepped down the initial reaction was that it was ill-health and/or the first step of a takeover process, so between that and the above (one year deals seems somewhat odd in a three year plan) it wouldn't suprise me if we seen the Easdales (or whoever) coming in in the summer either as owners or prominent board positions or something as a transition. There's been enough hints from Crawford along the way, e.g "always open to investment", "for sale if the right bid comes" etc. when he first took over, then some more explicit comments when the recent newspaper stories appeared. On that note, I thought it was a bit odd that McKinnon was only given a year deal even though he was building a full squad, changing the club's infrastructure etc whilst Johansson got two years. Perhaps Johansson has the blessing of the new owners? That's pure speculation, right enough, but could be something to it. AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an interview with Iredale and he said it was a one year deal with it bring two of he played a certain number of games. There might be more to it then just the simple one year deals. Would be a more sensible approach anyway at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually object to one year deals as such, but at the same time if you're talking about a three year plan then you'd think that you'd want a few players in there as your mainstays on longer deals.

Malt Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I was down in Brighton when there was a match on and if you showed your ticket on the local transport networks, you got free transport to the game on match day. Could be a good incentive for us, especially with Sandy owning McGill's. Might encourage a few more folk on a wet afternoon if they think is it worth £5 return on the bus or what ever it may be these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malt Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Show Season book, pre bought ticket, ticket on app and like the above, relationship with Smiths. We should lump the mobile shop somewhere in the town between 9am and 1pm each match day. Sell tickets and merchandise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should lump the mobile shop somewhere in the town between 9am and 1pm each match day. Sell tickets and merchandise. You get free travel across the entire region of Germany where the game is on international match days with your ticket. It's definitely worthy of consideration, even half price to and from Cappielow would be decent. On the subject of the mobile shop, surely the club has at least investigated the possibility of a stall in the middle of the Oak Mall. Smiths have made an arse of the merchandising at every turn, if there hasn't been an evaluation of other options it's a big failing. AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a full Morton bit when you go into the shop and a window display just for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrodelawasp Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 The chap that runs Smiths seems really eager to strengthen ties with the club and help in expanding the range of leisurewear, retro shirts and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiths have made an arse of the merchandising at every turn, if there hasn't been an evaluation of other options it's a big failing. The bit in bold, the free travel is restricted to a specific region and not the whole of Germany. For example, for the last Germany-Scotland game in Dortmund the free travel on DB was restricted to the Nord-Rhein Westfalia region, and was only for DB Regio, S-bahn and U-bahn routes and did not include the ICE high-Speed Trains. I was staying in Hannover* for that game, which is approximately halfway between Dortmund, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Bremen and Berlin and had to pay for the train to/from Dortmund. *If you recall the DFB were arsing everyone with announcing venues and kick-off times, so it was a case of booking up early and taking a punt. *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonTon Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 It isn't that great for the club when the link to their online shop take you to this: http://www.smithsofgreenock.co.uk/ * I suppose you take the rough with the smooth with these types of deals, but could it not link to a specifically Morton front page rather than getting a deal on another team's top? *content will probably be time sensitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
