Instead, we’ve advertised to all and sundry that we think he’s unfit and has a stinking attitude. The club is an absolute shambles from boardroom to footballing side. we’ll sell for 3 million now before window shuts. Tbf I think any potential buyers could have worked that out for themselves on Saturday HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al 55 9,526 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Morelos has broken his silence. He took to his official Instagram account to post a message in Spanish, which translates to: "The best warrior is not the one who always triumphs but the one who fearlessly returns to battle."

If there's been a further incident after the red card then they could easily have kept this in house - at least until after Wednesday night. Aye. I'm not a fan of our media strategy as you know. But i reckon they thought getting ahead of the story would be better than the media getting wind of Morelos not being on the flight over and a story breaking that way. Although that actually feels like the lesser of the two evils. However it panned out, it's probably always going to be a sideshow before the match.

Colin Traive 23,888 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 5 minutes ago, The Dude said: It doesn't mean the club haven't handled it atrociously. They have broken him back into the team gently like fine china They've tolerated the fact that he is well out of condition giving him every chance to shape up. They needed him to do his job on Saturday for just a portion of the game and he let himself and his hard-working colleagues down badly. The club reflect over the weekend, speak to senior players and, having gauged opinion, reached a decision and announced it. The timing is unfortunate but that aspect is out of the club’s hands and I would rather they announced their decision as opposed to 48 hours of rumour and speculation as we prepare for the game. The matter has been addressed and, like Morelos, has been left in Glasgow until after the game. Which part of that is the most “atrocious”?

CR3 12,869 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 probably just surrounded by the wrong folk in Glasgow especially when he’s on a programme and strict weight-cut. Same folk that take him to daft places like sanctuary and go out drinking in Finnieston. @SkylineBlue @eskbankloyal HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if there's been a 'unacceptable, last chance, won't accept any more shite from you, get your arse in gear, get properly fit and show you belong in that team' type chat. Then he's been thrown in to the game v Hibs, taking Colak off with today in mind, and hoping the words have had an effect, gets a reaction and he puts in a shift. Instead he flails and arm, gets a stupid red card and laughs about it coming off the pitch.

cascadeshrimp 1,545 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 These days clubs are all over the sports science thing,there will be hydration tests (prob every training day) and IF he's turned up 1/2 cut then thats unforgivable for a player looking for fitness and condition We need to bring ALL our attacking talent to bear on PSV tomorrow night and the wee mans fucked it for himself and us if the bevy stories are true HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
