Wonder if we will get a takeover before the season starts? I originally thought Crawford would be gone this Summer but now I'm not so sure. A greater influence and investment in different areas from Sandy no doubt but I still think Crawford will be in place as Chairman next season. Hope I'm wrong as I don't see the point in Crawford kicking about any longer than he has to but I can't see the Easdales buying us out just yet, especially with the Rangers share issue still ongoing but clearly they are involved somehow be it directly or otherwise. Either way, if they are or are part of the external investors being mentioned then we should welcome it and hope the cuts are not as bad we all expected. Curious to see how this plays out. Interesting Summer ahead! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Ritchie Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Duffy was ruthlessly emptied at the end of last season and that was under Crawford's watch. I don't think it's quite as cut and dried as that. He had to go, 6 games to go we’re lying 3rd, end up 7th. Not forgetting these utterly useless loan signings toward the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre Bo Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I understand the need for some new investment, but I think it is foolish and short-sighted to welcome the Easdales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jani_Uotinen Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Would we sign Kris Doolan? Bit-part for Thistle this season but a man who can find the net. Personally think he could be ‘Peaso-esq’. I use that term lightly and optimistically.An experienced player that was banging in a fair few in the Prem not to long ago. Provided he stayed fit - I don’t see why he couldn’t be our 15+ goals man for the upcoming season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Already 33 and presumably got released from an inferior Partick side for that (and other) footballing reasons; not for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently released for a poor relationship with Caldwell. Proven goal scorers that know this league well aren’t so easy to find. Whilst I wouldn’t be jumping for joy if he joined us. I’d be pretty confident he’d score his share of goals plus add some experience at that end of the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be rocking up at little Ayr, or grabbing a bucket and heading to the seasides with Falkirk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter MacDonald was a couple of months shy of 33 when he went from Morton to Dundee, and he did even better with them than he did with us. 33 - 34 is fine for a player in the Championship if he has kept his fitness levels up. We could do worse. And we probably will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell, but if we think we can do much better than a Doolan, we are taking the piss and should nominate Andy Dallas to the Morton Hall of Fame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst he was given a year beyond that in the Championship, he’d ran his race by that point, and the longer term deal was probably a price worth paying just to get us out of that league. That’s not to say Doolan couldn’t be a decent signing, but I don’t think the two are really comparable. Edited May 9, 2019 by Toby 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not to say Dolan couldn’t be a decent signing, but I don’t think the two are really comparable. Think you’ve missed the point of my post. I wasn’t referring to his time at Morton, first or second time around. He went to newly-relegated Dundee a couple of months before his 33rd birthday. He was their top scorer that season and scored the goal that won them the Championship....... on a day when we should not have bothered turning up at Hamilton....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Ritchie Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 We have to be in for Doolan with this new found cash & optimism. A top pro, goal scorer, pumped us just over a month ago, eager to prove Caldwell wrong etc. It’s all there & he’s better than McHugh. Get us Erskine too whilst they’re at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swing and a miss then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
