Phil78 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Good enough for me too. In fact, anyone Del wants to sign i'm happy with. Marlon King, Luke McCormack, Joey Barton? Regardless of ability, which I personally feel is lacking....but is clearly just my view. He's not the sort of person I'd me happy about my kids cheering or any sort of role model, That is something that can't be denied. Also yet another appointment from Scotland?

Not Marlon King, Luke McCormack, Joey Barton But Del has worked with Morris for a number of years. Perhaps he is happy with him, maybe he has changed. All i'm saying is I trust McInnes.

Bcfc24 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 People saying he's just like barton king mcormack need to have a long think about it.. He has never raped, killed or assualted anyone so he cannot be named in the same bracket.. People who say we will not bring our kids to watch him can stay away because if your not going to support him we don't want you at the ground.. If people want a successful football team players like him are needed.. Next season everyone needs to be behind mcinnes,morris and all the boys..COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Lets wait and see. I am sure Del has weighed it all up and decided he is a good fit for the club; he's the Gaffer so I more than give him the benefit of the doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Why when he has leadership qualities and experience.The guy looks after himself,and is tough.Why would he not get the arm band?If he stays in the team?And I can see him doing that.He would never have turned down European football,to be a squad man down there. Players don't walk in the door and become captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jock Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Players don't walk in the door and become captain. They do all the time,when a team narrowly avoids relegation.And has a squad that is far to big.And has many players that think there big time Charlies.Morris is exactly the kind off player that is needed,to show them.Sometime you need to take a step backwards to go forward.Somebody who has scene it and done it at a higher level.Somebody your players can learn from his mistakes.

In some cases a player does come in and become captain however when they're on a 1 year contract? Not exactly a long term plan is it, we will just be in the same situation next summer if Morris only plays for 1 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's no better of a person because he got lucky and didn't kill anyone. I couldn't support McCormack, I can't support Morris. How on earth can you support one and not the other?

Morris will be a coach after it.So making him captain in the team,makes perfect sense .As he will have authority over the same group off players afterwards.And Del was playing in the EPL for WBA at the same age as Morris.Seems like most off your fans,do not even know about your own managers carer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"11 July 2003Dundee United gave their supporters a triple boost today with the announcement that they have signed Owen Coyle and Collin Samuel from Falkirk and Derek McInnes from West Bromwich Albion. "Derek McInnes completes the hat-trick of signings as the new Club Captain in a 3-year deal, having signed from West Bromwich Albion. Thirty-two year old McInnes is well known to Scottish football from his time with Rangers and Morton." Seems like you don't know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make perfect sense, Morris is only here on a 1 year contract, so to make someone captain for one season only is very short sighted and we will be in the position of needing a new captain at the start of the season after as well, and unless they plan on it being another new signing it will be someone from the current squad who could just as well be made captain this season.

SaintB Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Some of you are writing this signing off far too easily. Your team has obvious problems with professionalism and Del is trying to change that. When Jody Morris came to Saints there was many posts like these about his past. There were doubters. So what did we get? A star. Club captain, settled with a family, great with supporters, no problems on or off the pitch. He was clearly very well liked by the players and staff and was the heart and soul of the dressing room. We had a team that gave 100%, every game and he was part of that. As a player Jody still has class. Almost never loses the ball and works his ass off to win it. Classy player who always played better against better teams. Always stood out against the old firm. Hes not that creative but he will likely sit a bit deeper than that and dictate play. Frank Lampard said last season he could easily still cut it in the prem. Xavi said hes the hardest player hes ever played against. Morris isn't exactly a washed up has been. Hes a winner and if your not winning and not trying in his team you will know about it. Sounds to me thats exactly what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sglosbcfc Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I wouldn't imagine he was on big wages in Perth and there is no transfer fee involved. He is obviously a classy player and all remains to be seen is can he cut it at championship level now he is thirty three. I am willing to trust Del Boy who obviously thinks he can.

Tins Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 These players have worn the armband purely because they are local, long serving, or both. None of them are leaders and worthy of being Captain in that sense. Morris is clearly the sort of inspirational character who can lead by example and get maximum effort out of his team mates. We've desperately lacked this type of 'nasty', win at all costs player for many years so it would be a big surprise if he isn't the Captain. Carey is a leader. Many ex players have said he is the best captain they have played under Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobArnold10 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Fine for me. Low risk signing, good player. Can see us signing a free agent keeper, leaving money to be spent on CB LB and a ST to go with Stead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 It's amazing how many people on here know more than our manager. Are all you know-it-alls working in football? You're not? Shame, football's loss I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I trust Del's judgement he hasn't really made a bad signing he's free I doubt his wages are expensive and I personally think he's more of a bench warmer like carey then a starter, I bet he's come down on cheap wages and we put him through his coaching badges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
