Players’ goal celebrations have been interesting of late.

While I think it was absolutely the correct decision to let him go, if I was Gus I’d be pretty miffed. They set him a target of finishing 8th, and he’s just been sacked while sitting 8th in the table. Tough gig.

Gave it the Harry Maguire goal celebration.

I get the abuse he's had but if you don't want to be here, Alan, bugger off.

Shite innit.

I never really saw his role like that. For me, the GM role was a bit more low key. I think with a part-time role, on that salary, you’re asking a bit much of someone to come out and front up to thousands of people and effectively act like a CEO. Having him in the firing line in that role never quite sat right with me. Good on him on the promotion. Looking forward to seeing what he can bring to the club in his new role. And yes, I’d expect to hear a bit more from him now.

I was thinking about the Hall of Fame earlier, and read it raised £12,000 on one of the events. That’s well worth doing again. Last one was 2017 so it’s probably a decent time maybe next year or the year after. They should also look to make it more of a physical HoF, with pictures around Cappielow like St Mirren do. Must be sponsorship/advertising opportunities in that.

For how long?

He’s just bought a gym and seems pretty focussed on personal training as a career. He’s also still kicking a ball for East Kilbride as he’s not wanting to retire yet. Basically nae chance.

Agree it's a problematic situation either way, but literally right now where is the money to pay up two contracts? The game's changed under fan ownership. I think someone mentioned earlier it could be paid up over time rather than a lump sum, which might be an option, but it's not a great start to the break even model. I don't think he's the man for the job but I think the reality of it is we're going to need to hope for the best here.

We've not got the money to pay him off.

No update from Morton.
