Don't forget about all their big plans for us to have cutting edge technology at the stadium. Must be due by now.

The infrastructure, etc might not be best suited but at the end of the day a team should be setting out to win every game. If the board said we're aiming to have a premier league infrastructure in year or two it's understandable (and obvious) but it's really frustrating when a manager has that attitude with an ambition of finishing between 8th and 5th. It's not exactly selling the club to players of fans.

Mostly agree with this. Would be good to get an update on what's actually happened, the improved governance and what accountability people like Laird have (it's obvious he lied about having an advisory role from his interview even if the recording is completely false).

Don't think he was terrible either. More disappointing than anything after the way he was talked up. Miller wasn't much better so surprised to see him mentioned in the best team. Obviously went on and done well but don't remember anyone being bothered about him leaving.

Tbf even if it's half true it's just another example of Lairds behaviour and it's not acceptable for a fan owned club. He's not been voted in, doesn't answer to anyone and acts like he's showing off that he knows that's the case.

Don't fully disagree. The issue is the behaviours fully align with how the 'advisory' chairman has acted like before. If that's how him and Dalradas other rep run the club then there's major alarm bells. It's the second big thing the other board member has been involved in. There's no way to say how much of an impact it's had but any employee of a company is going to be impacted by people like that running their business or managing them. There's got to have been a direct impact on the footballing side. It's easy to say the players and coaching staff should just perform regardless but they are just employees like the rest of us and impacted by bad management Laird has too much unchecked control and needs ditched. He's not an official director, MCT member or investor. Just a guy that causes issues everywhere he goes and has complete disregard for the actual owners (the fans).

Think he's an ex reporter now.

Ditch Dalrada is the only way. Not sure what's happening with their technology innovations, cosmetic changes around the club, etc either. We're not fully reliant on a 78 year old man sponsoring us on a year to year deal. At least the Raes were owners and tied to us through that...

Ex tele reporter according to the other messages. I'd be inclined to think it's mostly true based on the familiarity with people mentioned rather than just a random guy ranting. Obviously two sides to every story but the behaviours are consistent with what others have said and the attitude Laird had towards anyone else at the MCT meeting. Edit - we've also not seen any evidence whatsoever of the additional governance, staff, etc that have been mentioned and that seems to suit Laird so he can do what he likes without being accountable to anyone.

Think it's gone. Obviously no one know what goes on behind the scenes but seems to be just the Laird show and everyone falling in line. No idea what he's up to but whatever it is it's not the right way for a fan owned club.

Regardless of that, if the stories are true it's a terrible way to treat an employee who's been through a lot lately. If that's how they act then it can't be a good or easy place to work. These people should be supportive of employees but sounds like actively acting against them.

Didn't want to go, offer accepted without him knowing, forced out by Laird, couldn't get in touch to speak to anyone on the board, bit of a dodgy statement when he eventually spoke to Robinson when he went into Cappielow on Monday to say it was for the best given circumstances. Sounds like Laird behind it but hiding. Actually pretty disgusting behaviour if it's true. Edit to add - also showing Laird as a bare faced liar again after saying he just gave advice.

Mental.

I might have completely missed it but did anything ever come of the new Morton board structure? I'm sure it was two MCT, two Dalrada and three joint board members. Also unsure of whether the two existing MCT reps are getting on after all the drama in the summer - it's all went pretty quiet there. MCT, to be fair, have upped their comms and seem to have lots of things in the works but the main thing is the club governance (and them being accountable to MCT).

Aye, same here. Easy to forget how good some games and spells have been and he's brought a lot of positivity to the club and got the fans onside. Davies is probably as good as we could hope for in the short term. Not convinced about him as a permanent manager given his time out the game but would be more confident with him being involved in the recruitment than just the board.
