Cuts are obviously inevitable with fewer games and therefore less income, but reading between the lines here I wonder if we're going to end up with any new signings being gambles on cheap loans while relying heavily on youth players for cover beyond the starting XI. I think that you are, as 'adding 12 to 14 players' to a core doesn't mean that they will all necessarily come from the existing squad or loans: some obviously will, others probably won't. In any case if you're only playing 27 league games and there's extended scope to loan players as well then you should be running with a significantly smaller squad. 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...

Could be complete coincidence but Wylde put out a tweet suggesting he’s about to sign for a club and the tele boy liked it. Could mean nothing but similar stuff has happened before!

dunning1874 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Are Clyde rejects going to be the new Brechin rejects? Hope there's no truth to this, and I doubt it since as of Wednesday last week MCT said the club still hadn't finalised the budget for the season anyway.

TheGoon Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 If that’s the level of player we’ll be bringing in this season we’re in for some time of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunning1874 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I reckon he's another heading for a Kelty, East Kilbride or Darvel type club that are launching money around below the SPFL. I mean, we're talking about a 29 year old who has literally only had one good season in his career (in England's League Two), has a reputation built entirely on the fact he came through at Rangers as a youngster, has done nothing of note since and is now a Clyde reject. That's got marquee signing for a non-league club written all over it.

Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Didn't Wylde come in and train with us in January and not get a deal? Or was he just rumoured to be signing? Either way, not really the level of player I'd be hoping that we'd be linked with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRVMP Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 He joins Eddie Malone (Morton appearances: 1, including 0 as a substitute) at the Shire. edit: as well as Lowland League stand-out Nicky Low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Aitken's Love Child Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 The transfer window has now officially opened in Scotland, and will remain open for 12 weeks, closing on the 5th of October, some 12 days before we're due to play our first league game of the season. It's now imperative that Hopkin is taken off furlough to allow him to start putting a team together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we can make loan signings after the 5th? I'm sure a furloughed Hopkin will still be orchestrating some dealings anyway but don't disagree.

I sure hope not, as that would likely be seen as a breach of his furlough conditions. I reckon you're probably right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
