Popular Post ChampTon Posted May 24 Popular Post Share Posted May 24 None of this good will pish for Oakley. He's spouted for months about how he loves the club and he needed us not the other way around - turned his career around - and he fucks off at the first chance, for a league rival no less. Hopefully leave a few on him next season, along with Crawford and Muirhead. Only right as we are "big bad Morton". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargsTON Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I can't blame Oakley if he's potentially doubled his wages irrespective of any comments he made regarding his affection for Morton. "CORNBEEF IS A BELLEND" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cet Homme Charmant Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Potentially it could have been anything. So why even suggest it could be double ours, when literally no one else claimed it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampTon Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I'm all for trying to reign in the pessimism as best as possible as it's early but it's fucking shite right now. Interestingly I believe Imrie has unfollowed big George on Twitter - but not others that he has let go. After his "wtf" repost last week I wonder if he's agreed a deal then pissed off once Ayr had come in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, what he said can be true but even if he's on £300 a week more it's a big difference when it's a short career. I get the loyalty argument but he could her injured in the first game and it's his last contract. No one is going to turn down about 15 grand a year more out of loyalty to an employer when it's a fairly low paying job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chicken_Soup Posted May 24 Popular Post Share Posted May 24 Reading Oakley’s comments upon signing for Ayr, compared with his comments in the tele very recently about Morton, I can only come to the conclusion that the guy is a grade A bullshitter. Folk panicking about losing someone like Oakley would do well to remember how low his stock was when we picked him up, Inverness fans were literally laughing at us. He hasn’t displayed the form he did with us at any other point in his career, and a return to the norm for him would represent an extremely poor return on Ayr’s significant investment. Here’s hoping. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashman Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 We’ve lost our best players given new deals to some of our most average players. Unless our new signings are an upgrade on what we lost then it’s going to be a real struggle next season FTOF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless our new signings are an upgrade on what we lost then it’s going to be a real struggle next season Given we offered better deals to those 'best players' then there's no reason to suggest that we won't. Not that it'll be guaranteed or easy to do, but that's the job of Imrie and the board every single summer. if we were in the same tentative financial position as 12 months ago and losing these players then the knicker-wetting hysteria would be justified. We aren't though and so it's not. 8 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...
