Don't really think shouts of ulterior motives etc are fair at this point, I see it that there's a real noticeable lack of leadership and organisation and with that comes the lack of transparency. They've basically been running the club for most of the year by all accounts so there's really no excuse for it.
MCT leadership clearly read this forum as they've reacted to posts multiple times by finally communicating a response to the issues laid out, and we on this forum can be known to treat every issue we complain about in equal outrage no matter how big or small it is which was fine before when we were just a rag on the Internet, but in my opinion we all have a part to play in making it more clear between things that annoy us and things that we will not stand for, because I'm sure there are other people like me who have all the best wishes for community ownership and were more than willing to give the benefit of the doubt who are already questioning whether to give MCT my money or not, months sooner than I ever thought I would be willing to consider it, such has been the shambolic leadership and communication.
We were promised better communication and transparency under this regime but if anything there was more communication during pre seasons in the Rae era as this was the time of year when they needed our money the most.

Finally got an email from MCT advising who was on the board etc. Better late than never and hopefully a lesson for them that transparency is so important.

I'm glad that the pre season schedule has been announced but I really hope that the new era will stop us being such a reactionary club. We've suffered decades of fans having to moan about simple stuff before someone at the club notices and next thing you know we've got an update on it.
There's a lot of nonsense to filter out if your strategy is constantly to look at Morton fans opinions online and give them the information they deserve based on that rather than proactively having a transparent and healthy relationship between board and fans where the decision makers naturally understand how fans feel and are providing information before it gets to the point of just to appease disgruntled fans.
Maybe I am naive but I figured the one major benefit of fan ownership is that the people running the club would be on the same wavelength as fans and right now it feels like there is a disconnect between the two key stakeholders that can only be sorted with clear and regular proactive communication.

Hopefully strips will be announced soon. The way theyve been speaking about them being excited it I Imagine it could have something to do with the 1922 100 year anniversary.

Ross McLean as well. Signing just ad many ex morton players even without Duffy in charge.
-
Allan Creer was who I was thinking of! Loved going to games where he was playing
-
Didn't play for us but I'm sure Alloa (or a team like them) had a fucking ridiculously bad keeper in the lower leagues when we were there. Had never seen a professional keeper make the mistakes he would make against us. Ramsbottom is the closest to him I've seen since.
-
Maybe I misunderstood but I thought with option 2 that the debt wouldn't be recalled and is only there to allow GC to be the preferred creditor for the stadium if we are facing liquidation?
If so then it's certainly not the ideal scenario but as long as the agreement is legally watertight that the rug can't be pulled from under our feet then I see it as acceptable.
Happy for more intelligent posters to change my mind though.

Ewan is slowly turning more and more in to Slaney every episode and I for one approve.
-
Really enjoying it guys keep it up. Some really good insight in to the games and the team.
It being on Spotify has made it a lot more accessible now and I don't have to remember to listen anymore.

Listened to first 5 minutes just to get a feel and sounds like it is going to be a good listen. Will listen to the rest when I have time.
Was worried that with so many people on at once that everyone would be talking over each other but was pleasantly surprised. Great work guys.

2 minutes ago, Toby said:
Much as I don’t like him, I must admit I found it ironic to see Forest fans on Twitter saying he’s not the level of player they should be looking at.
Considering Malmo are the very club that Forest beat in their first European Cup final and are not quite the force they once were, but are still good enough to compete in the relatively latter stages of European competition most seasons, I’d suggest that a club that’s festered in England’s second tier and below for 20 odd years should be pretty chuffed about bringing in a player of his calibre. Or at least should be in the position to have a bit of respect for a small club that haven’t reached their previous heights in recent years.
Aye I saw someone say they don't need him because they had Jack Colback ffs
-
About time Nottingham Forest returned to the summit of the European game so good signing for them.
-
We taught him everything he knows.
-
Andy Murdoch out for the season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament.
-
Kiltie signs for Dunfermline.
-
Judging by Tuesday night his teammates will think he's the second coming of Ronaldinho.
-
Tidser doesn't seem to have impressed Falkirk fans much yet this season, and it looks like he's not playing in the same position McKinnon had him flourishing in at Morton. Wee shame.
-
Is it just me or does shankland look a little bit on the chunky side again like when he played for us?
-
I thought he looked like he needed some more time at this level. Makes sense that he's spending a few more months in the Championship before looking to make a step up.
I'd be shocked if either of our 'keepers are near his level though. I still can't believe we're going into the season with two goalkeepers who are untested at this level in the way that our two are.
Not only untested at this level, but also before pre season started the manager had never seen either one play. I'm quietly hopeful at least one of them will surprise us though.
-
Not a former player as he never signed in the end but Todorov has somehow signed for Inverness.
The desperation for anything that resembles a targetman at this level leads to some absolute donkeys sticking around far longer than they have any right to.
-
His new Fragrance ' Lost Confidence ' for men, will be available in Sports Direct from 1st July.
-
The Q&A session confirmed the debt will be written off and won’t be an obstacle for a new buyer which resulted in a round of applause from the room.
So we’re putting in 400k over 3 years towards the playing squad for him to write off the debt that he’s already said will be written off anyway?
The 400k MCT want us to put in to the club has nothing to do with the outstanding debt as it will be going to the first team budget, they've just said (in the video) that they won't give them the cash unless the debt is written off. Whether it was going to be written off already is irrelevant, all that matters is that it is.

Morton Club Together Updates

This is as bad a pre season in terms of running the club as I can remember. Even Crawford Rae managed to get fans praising him and excited for new seasons on occasion. Literally nothing has changed from the previous regime to this one.
If we don't have signings to make, strips to sell, managers to interview then at least have some content on the YouTube channel. How hard is it to get two players and Gerry together (covid outbreak withstanding) and have them play silly games or asked funny questions about their teammates etc or even a crossbar challenge at training.
Simple things that keep fans engaged and feeling like they know more about the personality of the players they're supporting this season and much more interesting for us and the players than a bog standard clichéd interview.
