Afro Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 You'd have to imagine that an English club would take a punt on Quitongo quite easily. Minimal risk on their part both in terms of paying no fee and probably relatively low wages. If he wound up at us I'd be pleasantly surprised but I'm not taking much from him training with us tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah very misleading statement from Macca then, thought he meant recently. Whats he played ? 30 odd first team games in 3 years ? A fair offer would be in the region of 15-30k in my opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I’m saying though, in a month or so time he’ll be able to go to any English team he wants for free, so you’d assume Morton would want to get something for him just now before that option opens up to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpire Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Right, this is a joke!! Get Miller to foooook! D1cking us around big time. The board need to show some balls and tell him he's had long enough - clearly after a better offer elsewhere so why bother. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdinburghLivi Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Bit of knicker-wetting going on here. Squad is looking good and pre-season training looks to be going well. We will get our manager, the club need to try and make sure they are choosing the right one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever it is we need to get behind them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torfason Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I'm not sure why you are actually looking for a manager to be honest. Martindale seems to be running the show and whoever comes in will be on a hiding to nothing if they dont have control over signings, tactics etc.I guess in Millers case you get to justify paying him more than the rest simply because he technically has 2 roles at the club but otherwise what is the point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative is everyone at the club sitting with a finger up their arse until someone else is appointed. Makes more sense to keep trying to sign players, no? Got a link to where you've seen the manager won't have control over anything btw? Sounds like an interesting read. Sack the board etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livi Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Miller situation s becoming a joke now. Something has clearly gone wrong as even the club were saying they were almost ready to announce simething. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooky Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Calm down folks ffs! The board deserve our patience for all they have achieved in the past couple of years. Getting the squad moving and keeping continuity with the back room staff is far more important at this stage. It was always going to be tough to get a manager in with the restrictions of keeping all of that together. We cannot afford a huge wage for Miller - he clearly is interested in the job but is probably having to make a decision on accepting lower money than he can get elsewhere - there will always be some horsetrading in that type of situation. it will be fine. Keep the faith etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIVIFOREVER Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I think we all should be on here having a breakdown about only having one pre season game arranged tbh. I dare say more will be added by the start of July but lets fall apart in a panic about it anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andylivi1 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Let’s be honest here, did anyone expect us to still have Halkett, Byrne and Hardie heading into the new season ? In fact with the exception of 3, 1 outwith our control then we’ve kept the whole squad together, That is testament to the club and the work they’ve done up to now and should be applauded not ridiculed for keeping the ball rolling. Martindale doesn’t want the job, end of story, he is running things just now because well who else would ? At many clubs the assistant is in charge of pre season etc, it was the same last season so this absolutely isn’t an issue for me at all. The only thing I’d criticise the club for is allowing Miller to walk all over us a bit and leave us hanging for so long, I would’ve set a deadline last week and if it wasn’t signed move on. It is my understanding that if it’s not signed by Friday though, we’ll go to plan B which is already in place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Should just ask Lee Miller if he wants to be player manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
