Not sure that's all that surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross County is an easy introduction to the SPFL Premier League. There won't be much in the way of expectations, other than avoid relegation, the money will be decent, little pressure and you get to live in a nice corner of the world. If they come calling, it would be a good move for him, however why would Ross County pay us compensation when they can got the pick of dozens of available managers wanting back into the game. 2 *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. He'd be a great fit there but they're more likely to look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcC1874 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I hope they wouldn't be looking at Imrie and might want someone with slightly more experience but it would be fairly stupid to over look him. He has done wonders here on a small budget, has got a squad who will run though brick walls for him and has improved the club so much in the short time he has been here, yes they would need to pay compensation but I wouldn't imagine that would put them off if they were interested.

Jamie_M Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Don Cowie appointed as 'interim' manager. Announcement as clear as mud with no detail of whether that's caretaker until they go through a recruitment process, until the end of the season or whatever.

SpoonTon Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Ross County are exactly the type of team that I'd be worried about losing Dougie to. Teams like Aberdeen, Hibs, and Hearts don't come looking for managers from clubs like ours. Dougie would need to establish Morton in the Premiership before they'd look at him. Clubs like Ross County would be his most likely option of a step up. There's maybe a chance of League Two in England or something like that, but I'm not sure how realistic that would be either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know loyalty is no guarantee in football and ultimately, money talks. But I genuinely believe that Dougie will want to finish what he started , until the end of this season at least, with Morton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I genuinely believe that Dougie will want to finish what he started , until the end of this season at least, with Morton I'd certainly like to think that this is the case, but managers also know that their stock can rise and fall very quickly in football and opportunities to make a move up can be hard to come by. I'd hope that Dougie would see an opportunity here in the next few months that would outweigh the risk of Ross County in their current state, and I'd also hope that Ross County will sets their sights elsewhere, but I could understand if Dougie was tempted by a move like that.

Alibi Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Ross County in their current predicament aren't really a step up from a resurgent Morton. I would hope Dougie would get us promoted next season, or even this season with a playoff win against, em... Ross County.

County have a wealthy backer who is very patient and a recent history of top flight football, and even cup success. Morton do not have any of these things. I am full of admiration for how both MCT and Dougie have gone about things but without Dougie there's every chance our budgetary position begins to show itself and we end up in League 1 as often as not. County would be a significant step up from Morton in every respect except perhaps fan expectations and if Imrie wanted to climb the managerial ladder to a Hibs or even a Wigan or something he'd do much better in Dingwall than Greenock.

If 'Dingwall FC' to use their correct, FIFA 05 name are such a plum job as you claim, then why has their manager just abandoned a job for life* and flounced out after a couple of months? While at the start of a season everything that you state about the comparison is true, there is a time and place to make a jump and now... really isn't it. *owing to standard, teuchter inbred nepotism 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibi Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I don’t think Dougie is going to walk away from a project that is not completed. Obviously money talks, but so does job satisfaction. Eventually he will move on, but I’d like to think he would want to have a real crack at promotion and with our current squad and the way we are playing, next season is currently looking bright: possibly even this season via the playoffs. If we were to go up this season, it would likely be at the expense of Ross County. I can’t see Dougie walking away from a team that had reached the top tier, not immediately anyway. Once he had top league experience, he’d be on the radar of some bigger clubs and likely would move on Let’s just enjoy his time here for as long as we have him. He’s a breath of fresh air and without a doubt the best manager we’ve had since at least Benny Rooney.

Popular Post Toby Posted February 12 Popular Post Share Posted February 12 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hbcwyg?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile Scottish-born Republic of Ireland international Aiden McGeady, whose Ayr United team has collected a quite incredible zero points against Scotland’s form side, dropping six of them before Morton hit their incredible run of form, is the latest to criticise Morton’s all conquering style of play. Get it right fucking up him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
