Especially when they aren't going to pay the compensation to sign him.

They have been taking that tone about everything for a long time now and either need slapped down a peg or two or cut off.

Must have something lined up otherwise it's a risky move for a kid with just a few first team games.

Going by the Tele article - McAvoy was at training on Monday, discussions took place and by Thursday he had decided he was going to Carlisle and the Tele were contacting the club on Friday morning looking for quotes for their article. Just me that thinks a few days isn't that much time at all rather than some long drawn out delay that it's been made out to be? So more than likely he just fancied the Carlisle option when it arose? (and he hasn't even been appointed yet so could easily have just been leaked as an attempt to pressure Morton into doing a deal). If he did chuck his toys out the pram because it took a couple of days though then we are probably better off well rid anyway. Why did he leave? I know he left pretty much straight into another job but did he also leave under a cloud?

Name another club that would have been proactively communicating any of that?

Kian Taylor ex Preston scored the equaliser then Ryan Duncan and Mark Ferrie with the other 2.

Wouldn't know these days but assume nothing has changed since calling him out a few years ago.

Trialist keeper is Charlie Albinson. Wearing number 1 would normally say that means he's pretty much signed? And Moore at 6 so that's likely the couple to be announced soon that Imrie hinted at.

He won't. Well good to known thst ones definitely not happening then.

Longridge confirmed.

Doing it wrong. Anyway. We're about to confirm some signing news.

Tele confirming Ryan Duncan and Mark Ferrie are on trial as well as youngsters from down south former Accrington Stanley winger Lewis Trickett and former Harrogate forward 18 year old Oli Robinson (not 29 year old Farnborough player Ollie Robinson who everyone's favourite ITK know it all posted on here last night and swiftly deleted).

He'll always have his winner on his birthday in Grangemouth and his red card that started Duffy vs Lennon.

Also shite. Nope.

Jack Bearne probably a better example than JET in that category but yeah one area of recruitment that Dougie hasn't done as well in is guys from down south with no history in Scotland. Hopefully this works out.

"Grandson".

Yeah, I'd hold that thought when we are signing this haircut.

Alex King, Airdrie.

Link Movement. Not a player but at least there's movement.

Yet they had no qualms about signing off and placing the order for this year's kits before said sponsor was in place...

As expected: A Morton spokesperson said: "At the expiry of Arron’s contract, we were not in a position to offer a contract with the Dalrada deal yet to be confirmed at that stage. "Per SPFL regulations, the club would have had to have offered improved terms of re-engagement, at a minimum 14 days before expiry of existing contract, which we were not able to do at the time. "This has meant that the club has had to forego any compensation relating to this player. "It is unfortunate that this was the case, but it would have been irresponsible for the club to offer the contract on matched terms with last year at the required time. "It is another example of why we must ensure we are not in the same situation again in the future."

Sorry, I was going to increase my MCT subscription/order a new season ticket/purchase hospitality but I didn't submit the paperwork in time.

Indeed. They will bat this away saying that due to the uncertainty over budgets, we were not in a place to offer new contracts to any first team players at that time and that this was just one of the unfortunate outcomes as a result. Not good enough though when it's a continued and repeated pattern of not having your house in order and getting the basics right. Tele being the Tele in headlining it 'Morton miss out on windfall' despite stating correctly in the article that compensation would be 'minimal'.

Why would they transfer ban specifically affect Lyall over Keay?
