port-ton Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Best of luck to him. Got absolutely no ill will towards him but he just should never have been near a Championship first team squad and the nepotism that caused this wasn't his fault. I'm glad that for whatever reason he's finally decided enough is enough. Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!

EanieMeany Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Yeah, I wish him well too. I've said this before, but as much as he's been very fortunate to be involved in football for so long, I don't think there was really ever any expectation for him to actually be playing and I don't think it was really serving anybody well to be repeatedly using him over the last while. I guess if you're going to be taking a wage then you can't grumble about having to play, but even at that, I think Imrie could have done without using him as a pawn and it was clear Easdale wasn't enjoying himself in the slightest. You can't really blame somebody for making the most of the opportunity his connections afforded him, and he's evidently got the awareness to realise it has ran its course. If this happened this time a year ago I'd say good riddance and not give it a second though, but regardless of anything else you might think about his circumstances, he very obviously was aware of his situation on the pitch and that can't be a nice thing to endure at all in such a public setting so I genuinely wish him well and hope he's much happier in whatever he does next.

RossMcC1874 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Best of luck to him he was nowhere good enough for a career in professional football and really no idea why he was kept as long as he was. I can only hope this now means we can get something in before the window closes heard absolutely nothing about new players while everyone else is adding to the squad.

EanieMeany Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Incidentally, I would be a little surprised if Easdale's departure actually opens up a great deal of money for another player, to be honest. I suspect that at most it'll allow any potential signings already on the cards to get a few extra bob (which isn't necessarily insignificant in itself) rather than freeing up funds for a replacement, but we'll see.

port-ton Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Scott Allan signed for Arbroath on a 2 year deal so that's him out of the equation.

HeidTheBaw Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Can’t help but look enviously at that Scott Allan signing and wonder why Arbroath are able to pull it off but not us. He’d have provided the ammunition for Quitongo with the amount of running in behind Quitongo does and addressed the real lack of creativity in the team. The depth of the squad is also worrying, we are a few injuries and suspensions away from not being able to put together a full bench at this rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arbroath were wanting money for him so I doubt it. Not even sure who is still without a club in Scottish football circles. Off the top of my head there's Zander Clark Jack Hamilton King Efe of Ambrose Robbie Crawford Dylan Mcgeough Gozie Nadir Cifti Matej Poplatnik I would be happy with Crawford or Mcgeough for midfield and at this point I'd probably take any of those strikers.

Arbroath have more ST holders than ourselves right now, and also didn't waste their two year deals on allowing dung players to watch Judge Judy during their afternoons instead of having a real job. This full-time fraud setup has to be punted into bin. I can't say I'm convinced that Allan or anyone else would provide Quitongo with enough ammunition though, given how wasteful he and the other forwards are. We need an actually convincing centre forward as well as a creative player, but almost certainly won't get both.

True, I took a bit of the edge off it as I didn’t want to sound too hysterical - but I don’t disagree, it’s looking potentially very grim. There’s still time before the window shuts but I don’t have a great deal of optimism at the moment at how the club is being run. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Good luck to him and I'd expect a neat and tidy player, but I'm just not expecting a Gillespie-Blues-Crawford midfield to be a serious game-changer for our chances this season. If this is what we've got then Imrie has his work cut out. 1 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.
