Maybe I'm awfully wrong on this one, but why are we signing someone who struggled to get off the bench for the team finishing rock bottom of the National League South? Am I missing something? It seemed like a massive red flag. The Kinnear signing was another one that rung alarm bells (I said at the time I thought he might at least start in the League Cup). There are others as well. I have so many questions and Murray is doing and saying nothing to alleviate my concerns. 

We've thrown away the League Cup campaign (and any money which comes along with that) because, for whatever reason, we've failed to put together the core of a competent squad in a timely manner.

I can only assume our budget this season is absolutely dreadful.

The thing with Kinnear is we have had him in training with us last season while at Clyde so Murray should know what he’s getting there.

Which also makes it much harder to have any sympathy for Murray complaining about the budget. Yes, it's undoubtedly the smallest full-time budget in the division, but it's still obviously better than Stenhousemuir, Linlithgow and East Fife. How much money has he cost the club through his own incompetence which could instead have been in his wage budget if he hadn't lost all of these games?

Putting it nicely there. We’ve assembled a squad of Zak McKay’s and Lamar Reynolds’ and we’re already hearing any further additions will likely be loans. On top of that, the man in charge will only shrug his shoulders and ask what more we expected, describing a 1-0 defeat to Linlithgow Rose without a single shot on target as an “average performance”. Don’t have the words for it.

It will be but it's still full time, so it's not worse than Linlithgow and East Fife bad.

0-4 Stenny

0-1 Linlithgow

0-2 East Fife

And that's kindly ignoring the Stranraer friendly where we didn't score either. If we can barely manage a fucking shot on target against that then it's definitely TTG.

Since taking over as manager of Morton, Ian Murray has presided over 18 games in all competitions. He has 4 wins, 4 draws, and 10 defeats, with 16 goals scored and 31 conceded.

We've failed to scored in 7 of those games, including in a 0-4 defeat to League 1 Stenhousemuir, a 0-4 defeat to a basically already relegated Ross County, and the league cup defeats this season to Lowland League Linlithgow Rose and League 1 East Fife.

We haven't won since beating Arbroath in March.

He's signed a team of absolute third rate jobbers.

His position is untenable, he has to go tomorrow.

Disagree with this…. 
 

He has to go tonight.

Right Murray. Time to go.

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

Remember after the Airdrie game Murray promised the fans things would get better this season? I am not sure what he meant by better as the league season has not even started and I sense most fans have already chucked it. If the Estrella deal does not happen I fear we are on a slippery slope. Even if it costs us Murray has to go.

It wouldn't shock me if Murray walked, but we seem to have been left in a real mess. 

Realistically we're probably stuck with an internal appointment when he goes as well which won't be popular, but rolling the dice on whichever of Gary Miller or a senior player is next in line while the window is open is still an obviously less bad option than the 0 points from 36 games he has us heading for.

The two draws he got in that pitiful run in were both against teams playing the last 30+ minutes with 10 men as well.
