9 Strathblane Crescent Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Don't see a lot of talk about the SLO vacancy. Are people keeping quiet in the hope that nobody goes for the job and they are the only candidate ? Or do people just see it as a box ticking exercise that could easily be fulfilled by one of the current MCT team and/or are not interested? The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
TONofmemories Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 You'd be a good fit, Stuart TIME FOR CHANGE!

Well seeing as the previous one stepped down specifically because he was part of the MCT team, I doubt very much they see that as an option.
Toby Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 A boy I know asked me my thoughts on him applying for it. Reckon he would be ideal for the job but I told him not to go near it given the current circumstances. The worry however is that I suspect there’ll be an element of “job for the boys” when MCT take over, so now might be his only opportunity (I may be wrong of course). Whether he listens to my words of wisdom or not, I don’t know.
Guest capitanus Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Why on earth would anyone want such a position?

Who is likely to actually be in charge when MCT take over (and will they even be able to keep us afloat)? Questions not necessarily aimed at yourself, Toby. The whole post-Rae scenario sounds like a leap into the unknown (and don't misunderstand my meaning - the Raes have to go). McGhee needs some support, there's no-one backing him up. Hayes playing it forward, Bell being forced to do it all alone, now forward from Marr, here's Ritchie, still Andy Ritchie, look at the control... That is a marvellous goal from Andy Ritchie. Twenty minutes on the clock and Morton's supporters come alive. A goal which epitomises the control, the arrogance, the cheek of Andy Ritchie.

The whole post-Rae scenario sounds like a leap into the unknown (and don't misunderstand my meaning - the Raes have to go). I’d think that MCT’s Leadership Team have already got certain folk earmarked for certain positions post takeover, and some of these guys will end up in positions of authority themselves. They could of course justify it by saying that they’ve put plenty of work done in ensuring the takeover goes through, but I’m really concerned that the desire to get a nice wee blazer and tie is what’s preventing them from really challenging Crawford over the stadium ownership issue, and could be what sees them failing to get the best deal possible for them, the fans and Morton. As I said above, I could be wrong, but I’m a natural cynic and I think the reward of a position and title can make even those with the best of intentions take their eye from what should be the real prize.
TheGoon Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 I don’t see the point in this position at all at the minute, particularly as stated above, MCT could very likely just bring in their own man. It’s a thankless task at the best of times, never mind with the state the club’s in at the minute.

I assume you’re only allowed a certain period of time without one, and that time must be coming to an end now.
TRVMP Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 To be precise it is only required for Gold and Silver licensing. Bronze and Diddy don't need it. We're a mix between Silver and Bronze across the various criteria.

pink_panther Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I hope there's no more Misery and he Carries on the good work .I presume he'll be in The Stand
Tubes Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 More chance he’ll be in the Norseman than the Stand all the best Kingy! Cracking guy.
Mr.Blue Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 Good appointment. Kingy is a good guy and is a lifelong fan. There's a storm on the horizon And for that I can't see the sun For I'll keep a waiting on the pavement For the ice cream van to come
hayfever Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Is this voluntary or is he club staff now? What Carew can do with a ball, I can do with an orange
irnbru Posted March 19, 2021 Posted March 19, 2021 Good appointment. He's been critical of the club recently on his own twitter so it's a good sign they've taken someone on board that might be a bit challenging.
