It's mind-boggling that either Arbroath's board or that braying fud Campbell seriously thought they could replace him with Scott Allan and make a quick buck in the process. Now they've fucked up their relationship with a former key player and results have taken a slide during this utterly pointless and protracted saga. FWIW I'd be more than happy for Morton to turn our attention elsewhere, as we need a centre forward much more than any other position. And it sounds like we are doing that right now. Can Morton afford £0 these days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clashcityrocker Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Nicky Low was outstanding for Arbroath - have lost count of the number of times he was Man of the Match (well into double fiqures). He also inspired other players and gave them confidence - he never gave up, always giving 100% for the club and was without doubt one of the reasons Arbroath did so well last season ( our form dipped when he was out injured). Fast track to the current situation, I don't think we can stand in the way of a player who wants a move, he was a great players for Arbroath, but if he feels it's time to move on we need to respect his decision. If he signs for a Championship club there would be a clause to stop him playing against Arbroath this season - which ever club Nicky goes on loan to they would need to pay his full wages as he is one of the best players in the Championship and would be getting silly if Arbroath were contributing towards his wages. I wish Nicky Low all the best, he made Arbroath tick and will always be remembered as an important player who almost won us promotion to the Premier League. It is now time for Scott Allan and Dylan Tait to take over from Nicky and I am confident they will fill the void he has left. Time to move on and we still have 3 weeks left to sign a couple of quality players - top of the list is a striker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Aye I’m firmly all on board the Dylan Tait bus I loved what I saw from him last week (Allan looked very good too but still a bit frustrated at that sending off) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SotesBornalichtie Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Can't say I'm that bothered about the Nicky Low leaving. He was good, wouldn't call him great, but a good Championship midfielder. But we have signed a better player to replace him, if that player can stay on the pitch for the full 90 minutes. A player who has played at a higher level for longer than Nicky Low did. I thought that a signed contract was legally binding to all parties who signed it. If that's the case and there is not a clause in the contract that says any party can be released from the contract if any personal conditions change or any offers are made, then that party is in the wrong by refusing to stick to the terms of the contract. And if I am right then I would guess that the club would be within their rights not to release Nicky Low or even pay his wages whilst he refuses to train or play. So why all the comments about how badly AFC is treating Low? Is it because football players, even at this level, are seen to be above the law, that they do not have to abide by any agreements made and signed. Because Nicky Low has shown no respect for the contract he signed and it is he, in fact, who is treating AFC with disrespect.

ExiledLichtie Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I think what we are learning here is that Morton are utterly skint. We probably set a reasonable fee, but I imagine Morton turned up with a load of empty glass bottles, an IOU, and an awfully outdated big club arrogance. I wonder if they will be the next team to have the begging buckets out? Its been a while since we had an administration in Scottish football. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Can I just query if this is the case. Low wants away, the club are willing to let him go if the price is right and failing that will put him out on loan but not to a team in the Championship? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
