Investment
£750,000 from Estrella
What happened. Morton, facing a tight budget and the end of Dalrada's funding, are relying on teenagers in the first team while a proposed £750,000 investment from Estrella awaits fan ratification.
- Estrella would get a 35% stake and two board seats.
- Morton lost to Partick Thistle and scored no goals in four cup games.
- Fan group Morton Club Together will vote on the deal this month.
“We seem to go through it every year. I just keep going because it's my team.”
— Sam Williamson
The investment could provide crucial support, but the club's immediate fortunes look bleak.
