RRFC1989 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 One thing I noticed from his interview with RaithTV is how happy to seemed to be back with us. Having read this article, I admire the guy. He clearly believes in himself to aim big and his self-awareness that he can do more to improve himself on and off the pitch. I think it may take him a couple of games to get up to speed but I was much more impressed with him than Kennedy (who only really impressed in his first 3 or 4 games with us).The deal with Aberdeen has us pay a smaller compensation fee on the basis the get a reasonable sell-on should we sell him. I think its fair to assume that he’s been given assurances that we won’t stand in his way if/when teams come calling for the right money. When you get a coup like this then you have to understand that we might not be able to match his level of ambition but if we can benefit from promotion and or a large fee down the line then enjoy the time we have him in our side. Aberdeen fans genuinely seemed gutted to see him go which says alot given the limited opportunity he was given there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact McGoon has had involvement at Airdrie, and now Accies, since leaving the Rovers just shows what a sick joke the SFA's Fit and Proper Person criteria is. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may attract more people to contribute with this type of idea. Try a mini hearts or Morton The time for that was during the lockdown period when the fans' money was needed to keep the club afloat. A lot was put in during that time and I think the Trust decided it would be poor form to demand anything in return - I probably disagree but it's gone now. To remove a fans' director after that mass contribution would be really shameful though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly can't clearly remember, but know for certain that we are now in a much better place everywhere throughout the club. I don't think we can really say it was one person. Here's an article from Nutmeg in 2017 where Alan Russell talks about the takeover process. It was a ridiculous collective effort. We never had the luxury of being able to take a hit for an administration to wipe our debts like so many other clubs have done. I'll always view it with a sense of personal pride that the fans banded together to get McGowan and Short out of the club and get us back in an honest manner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to buy him out, following a fundraising effort. There's a good article @Broken Algorithms has linked which gives more detail. We are still suffering from him today, with the ground and the football club separate. They are both now owned by John Sim, but I'd much prefer they were indivisible. Not happening any time soon, sadly. McGowan threatened to sell the ground for flats if the fans didn't stop saying mean things about him as well. Hopefully he's not pulling the same crap at Hamilton but I wouldn't be surprised if he is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
