The Dude 20,027 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 So Morelos doesn't show for a recovery session but is involved in the next two games before being punished? This makes even less sense than the previous story. SeparateEntityMyArse 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Too much speculation and very few facts. Any ban for the red does not matter as he won't feature for some time. If we get a bid, any bid, then he is off. No bid and the ball is back with Alfredo to show both management and his team mates that he is fit with his head in the right place.

Constantly let's himself down however don't throw the baby out the bath water the night before our biggest game of the season. What does publicly shaming our biggest asset achive just over a week before the window shuts. Horrific management imo.

GWR1979 2,037 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I think the writing is on the wall for Morelos. Don't think we will see him again. The turning of the fan media all singing from the same hymn sheet makes me think it is the final straw. And the club are going to cut our losses without a recognised replacement is just Ameatur hour.

That on top of any Disciplinary recently has led to Gio dropping him from squad regarding behaviour and the clubs PR dept going nuclear. I think it will be something along these lines which would explain fan media turning on him like jilted teenagers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes even less sense than the previous story. Is it not possible that the red on Sunday was a “final straw” moment? Don’t have any info so could be way off the mark but I could see a scenario where the coaching staff & club have been unhappy with his attitude / fitness throughout preseason but given his role in the squad and how last season ended for him (maybe some understanding that missing out on the EL final etc has had a negative impact on him emotionally) and that if there is no movement on a new contract we might want to have the option to sell him near the end of the window (and that getting some minutes and performances out of him would be our best route to maximising value) there has been a willingness to give him a little more leeway to get himself straight but it has backfired, things haven’t improved and the red card and his reaction after have been a step too far. cstamomusa and The No.9 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaking it shows just how inept our staunch director of comms is. Especially when you add it to the line elsewhere in the article about him having 'fitness clauses' inserted into his contract in 2018. To the best of my knowledge, none of those have been broken in the four years since so it doesn't really help to paint him as they've tried.

Plus it's his lifestyle and attitude that's also poor. I didnt really mean in our squad. Just in general and historically. Hes hardly headbutting people or karate kicking fans. Porteus is worse than morelos but clyde 1 dont spend whole segments discussing his Ned behaviour.

SeparateEntityMyArse 55,341 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Advantage Rangers. If he wants to fuck us over and lose perhaps his only chance of playing in the champions league then hell mend him.
