CM48 Posted August 23 Posted August 23 Not sure this is the right thread but don’t want to resurrect the Developing Situation one, but i was talking about the shape of the club with a friend today and a few things still seem a bit unresolved, albeit some of the moves made at the MCT AGM at least seemed to be going in the right direction. As far as I can see though still no responsibility taken, contrition offered, or communication put out regarding mistakes made and improved governance of the club going forward. The chairman can’t seem to hide his glee at having Davies at the club (genuinely no idea if it’s a good or a bad thing, results will show in time I guess) wanting nothing but credit for himself that he made it happen, and I can’t imagine he’s with us without a decent payday. Is it really the best use of resources? Hospitality struggling for numbers too despite being seemingly well managed and a decent improvement in output from Gareth imo. Just seems more and more that everything at the club rests on Dougie overachieving for all departments and of course, very tragically, he shouldn’t even be at work just now. Has everyone just moved on? If so maybe I should too, and maybe things take time, but something still doesn’t seem quite right.

irnbru Posted September 25 Posted September 25 Not had a full read through but a couple of bits jumped out on the confidentiality agreement: - includes Financial statements, forecasts, and budgets of Morton Club Together - includes Strategic plans, board minutes, board votes and internal reports Something might cover it elsewhere but these are two areas there should be transparency and openness on for at least members and possibly non members to encourage them to join. Given the last year or so, it feels like something to hide behind (not saying this is applicable to current board members but it is an excuse that could have been used if it was in place before).

I fully agree that some of those details should be shared with the membership, but I don't think the confidentiality agreement precludes that at all. The following steps in the agreement after that's mentioned are: If I'm reading it correctly, the steps there about "prior written consent" mean that in the context of eg the MCT board making an official statement to the membership containing those details, consent can be given to release it. If so, that agreement is designed to stop any individual board members blabbing confidential information to their mates/family members/this forum/facebook/twitter to start off another game of Chinese whispers throughout the support in the absence of any official statements, rather than preventing any official release of that information through the proper channels. 2 Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Brian Wake my Lord, Brian Wake Oh Lord, Brian Wake

Yeah, that's a fair point. I think it's a good thing to work on and in good faith based on what's happened before but as the board changes then there's an opportunity to hide behind something like that. The club stuff is obviously commercially sensitive but MCT shouldn't really have too much that can't be disclosed on matters just relating to them.
Nornirontons Posted September 26 Posted September 26 Not impressed by someone who's every second word is "em" or "eh" please put someone who can communicate properly. As we're obviously supposed to back someone who can't @ present
Madton Posted October 8 Posted October 8 Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere but are we making additional contributions to the club on top of the 11k detailed in the deal with Dalrada in June and therefore matched by Dalrada and if so, how much? We are 4 months down the line now and ive heard nothing about it, would be good to get an update from the @MCT Team on this. 1

I checked this with the rest of the board before replying- there have been additional payments of £1000 for the months of July, August and September due to increased membership and interest increased contributions from existing members. Apologies for the lack of updates, there will be more formal comms in the near future which will cover this and a number of other issues relating to MCT since the new board was set up. Thanks of course to everyone who contributes and to those who have recently joined or increased their contributions. 7
The Bewilderedbeast Posted October 9 Posted October 9 (edited) Thanks for the update. Just to clarify, is that £1000 combined or for each month. Edited October 9 by The Bewilderedbeast

Madton Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Appreciate the update Toby. Hopefully we have a few fundraising ideas in the pipeline to increase that contribution moving forward. 1
Popular Post vikingTON Posted November 1 Popular Post Posted November 1 It's November 1 and unless I've missed something, GMFC as yet has still provided no public update on the chief executive role vacated in the summer - or the Finance Director that they knew had to be filled since about 12 months ago, if not longer than thaf. This approach to club governance is unacceptable and if the current GMFC board are content with this, then they are the problem. 5 The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are

They are asking for a finance director to work pro bono, which is bonkers and suggests a level of stupidity that borders on the obscene. Either that or they have someone in mind who wants a free lunch every Saturday. "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it." George Bernard Shaw
