Hopefully the better of the two players, summer will deal with itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever his commitment levels are I’d have Gallagher in the team before Mugabi any day of the week. I think it’s a given that he’ll be away in the summer, but until then we’ve still got survival to secure and hopefully a Scottish Cup campaign to be played so our best players need to start. From Gallagher’a point of view you’d expect/hope that if he’s serious about getting a bigger move and making the Scotland squad for the Euros then he’ll be desperate to play and prove his worth between now and the end of the season.

mfc Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 After the defensive shit show against kilmarnock I would bring both mugabi and gallagher in today,this game in theory should be the ideal time to get both some minutes on the park.

Declan Gallagher has not been injured since joining MFC. Paper releases info about a supposed clause in his contract that will mean he would have to sign an extension to his contract after 25 games. 24 games into his career at MFC, Declan Gallagher is injured for the first time in his MFC career, meaning he won't reach 25 games, and trigger supposed extension clause. How convenient, if the clause is there. Gives him or his agent time to renegotiate the removal of said contract extension, and once done, injury can be cleared up and he can start to play again. I don't want to know the ins and outs of his contract, just come out and say the paper information is incorrect, then end of story. We all move on, happily ever after. Maybe a daft question but what can he offer in place of the extension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 I'd be happy with a back 3. Gallagher, Mugabi, Lamie (or Mginley or Magloire) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said he was refusing to play? So he's either been kidding on he was injured, or he was just flat-out being unprofessional and treating the club and his team mates with utter contempt. So what it is? And if he did "refuse to play" then what does that say about our manager, when he just said this over the past few days about Gallagher? "He will never let his standards drop and his mentality drop. He got injured for us and he couldn't get back into the team, but his attitude to training around the squad has been absolutely top notch, and that's what I expect from a professional like him." Anyone who's buying into these conspiracy theories about Gallagher aren't just accusing him of being unprofessional, they're also saying those who run our club and the manager are incompetent if they're still out there defending and praising someone who's apparently taking the piss like Gallagher is supposed to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely possible there was an issue with his contract and he was injured. It doesn't have to be one or the other. If you think the club 'constantly' talking about his professionalism is proof he's not been at it, that's a reasonable assumption. I'd say their (and his) constant refusal to deny, or make any real comment on, the original story is reasonable proof there actually was some sort of clause. That's not a conspiracy theory, it's basic logic. As long as the club haven't rolled over on this, I couldn't give a monkey's now. We could get to safety without him if need be, and he won't be here next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welldaft Mk1 Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 I am sure someone will be along to tell us that that CIA are behind this and the trigger was removed on threat of demotion to junior leagues.

bobbybingo Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 "I think there was something at the start of the season that I wasn't privy to and when I came in [as manager] it was about keeping him here until the summer and having another conversation with him - and that hasn't changed."

CoF Posted April 15, 2021 Report Share Posted April 15, 2021 3 hours ago, Neilwell86 said: Well well well... That's incorrect. Alexander has said he's free to leave in the summer. Nothing more, nothing less. The fact there isn't a clause, doesn't mean there wasn't a clause. That's the rumour, and the club and player have been vague in their response to it. Alexander's comments today doesn't offer any further clarity. If anything, his vague comment about being not being privy to "something" at the start of the season just adds a bit more fuel to the rumour. Personally, I'm indifferent to it all now. Given the club, manager nor the player have been completely transparent suggests there was some contract wrangling, yet they all remained on good terms which suggests it's nowhere near as sinister or underhanded as some seem to believe. The board have proved in recent years that they're no mugs so if they're happy, I'm happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm as sure as I can be - and I hope to hell it's true - that the club wouldn't just lie back and watch ANY player rip the piss by feigning injury. So let's accept he was indeed injured. The contract is another bag of buns. Gallagher himself, and now Alexander, have mentioned "something" in his contract. I've no idea what it was, but anyone who insists there was nothing in there is contradicting both of them. Apart from the injury 'story', the other conspiracy theory here is that the Record, for some reason I've yet to see explained logically (other than they're a shitrag), printed a downright lie that led to Gallagher being accused of cheating Motherwell, yet the player, his agent, the club - no one, could be arsed denying it. He's basically a goner now, so thanks, and good luck to him, unless he comes up against us in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
