He must have been the other player who was meant to sign the same time as McGinn , still if he wants to stay in the Championship shows his ambition . Quote

Surely Linwood, it's reasonable for the guy to want to wait until he finds out who the new manager was. Quote

He has signed for a team in the same league as he currently plays , we could have been offering him the chance to play in the top league .So nothing to do with whoever the manager is as you wrote its about testing himself against better teams , ie the ambition part.

I get what you are saying Linwood. All I am suggesting is that players need to feel secure, that the manager wants them and that they get the longest contract tbey can. Quote
class of 76-77 Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 As far as the lad O’Ware is concerned, many Morton fans were saying that he lacks the necessary pace in order to operate in the top flight. Signing for another championship outfit speaks volumes. Quote

I get the argument that this might show a lack of ambition. But... we don't know the personal terms involved. Players also like to work with managers who chose them to play to their strengths. Certainty in an uncertain profession must also be attractive. Quote

I recall a then Rangers defender being sought by Motherwell with the line that he would play every week. His reply was that it might come as a surprise to the interviewer but he was a professional football player - he went where the money was. Quote

The standard of National League South is way off the SPL, but then we are talking about an individual here. I haven't seen any Truro matches this season so I've got no idea how good he is but it would definitely be a major step up for him from what I have seen of Truro in the past. Quote

MotherwellSaint Posted June 4, 2018 Report Posted June 4, 2018 I'd imagine he'll be off but depends on new gaffer as well. Quote

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 Spoken with Jim McAlister today told me he is fully fit that his agent will contact Saints when the new manager is appointed. Told me St Johnstone are interested but he would like to come to us if we want him as he has a house in Paisley. Quote
