mcintyre_gmfc Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I can't believe we got rid of him for Jamie McCormick.... We didn't get rid of him, he had a better offer and quite rightly left for a superior team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesh Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 We didn't get rid of him, he had a better offer and quite rightly left for a superior team. Nope, he was still under contract when Kenny signed and he didnt play him for two games. He didnt offer him an extension and chose to bring in McCormick instead.

EanieMeany Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 He didn't go to Motherwell for quite some time after both Shiels binning him and his contract expiring. I'd hazard a guess that the wage he's on at Motherwell, given the time that passed, is probably less than what he was on here. AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I think Shiels confirmed that finances were the main reason for letting Reid go, and that he was able to bring in 2 players for the same wage as he was getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesh Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) I think Shiels confirmed that finances were the main reason for letting Reid go, and that he was able to bring in 2 players for the same wage as he was getting. I wonder what two because if it was two of these players McCormick, Robertson or O'Connor we would have been better keeping Reid.

EanieMeany Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) I don't really think McCormack turning out to be a honking footballer really alters the merit of shipping out a big wage, to be honest. Especially when the big wage was brought in to shore up a dodgy defence and spectacularly failed to do so, contributing as he did to such excellent defence displays like losing 5 goals to Cowdenbeath and Livingston. Letting Reid go was the right thing to do within tight wage limits. Edited May 11, 2014 by EanieMeany 2 AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymcc1874 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If it was a case of getting 2 players that could help save our season for the price of Reid then fair play but it was two guys who played the same position and were never likely to feature at the same time! As it turned out, one was hopeless and the other barely kicked a ball. TTG JIM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a HORRENDOUS prospect. Sustainability - here we come! Getting rid of a player who was contributing the root of fuck all towards bolstering the defence, to afford two (disappointing/crocked) January signings, was absolutely the correct and necessary gamble to make. No-one was discussing the contract situation last summer - do keep up. The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before.. So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, he's only playing for an appearance fee and win bonus with travel expenses, although McCall has now said he'll be offered a two year deal.

This publicised anywhere or just from a secret source? I do like Reid for some reason, glad it's working out for him at Motherwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest having a read at his Twitter. You'll soon see he's a pain in the arse. Closely followed by his sidekick, O'Ware. TIME FOR CHANGE!

Dr Zhivago Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'd suggest having a read at his Twitter. You'll soon see he's a pain in the arse. Closely followed by his sidekick, O'Ware. Think it would be fair to say that a huge number of footballers are... well, not the most pleasant of people. They usually aren't particularly bright, then have to handle being mini-celebrities... so it goes to their head. Twitter is a bad thing.. as it let's the supporters see the kind of people their 'heroes' really are. It was probably better in the past, when we hardly knew anything about players. From own experience (from Weatherson 7's) - O'Ware was full of himself, he actually stood out from the rest in that way. Never rated him as a player either, so hope he'll be on his way out during the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
