keyser_soze Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Chairman Update David Goodwillie Thursday February 3rd 2022 I firstly want to apologise wholeheartedly to our fans, sponsors, players and the wider Raith Rovers community for the anguish and anger caused over the past few days. We got it wrong. In reaching our original decision, we focused far too much on football matters and not enough on what this decision would mean for our club and the community as a whole. Over the past couple of days, we listened carefully to the fans who have got in touch and I’m very grateful for their honesty. As chairman, as a board and as a management team, we have all learned a hard but valuable lesson. This very unfortunate episode is something that we all bitterly regret and we are now wholly committed to making things right. I can therefore confirm that, following a meeting of the Raith Rovers board, the player will not be selected by Raith Rovers and we will enter into discussions with the player regarding his contractual position. We share a desire to do what is best for our club and will be doing everything in our power to regain the trust and confidence of the Raith Rovers family. Chairman On Behalf of the Board of Raith Rovers FC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pie Of The Month Posted February 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2022 You'd think someone at the club could've given Benedictus a heads up before he made a c**t of himself. 58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover the Moon Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Right, McGlynn and Smith next please. Then the Board can form an orderly queue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Machina Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 A step in the right direction for the club and noticeable that they've signed off this statement. Still not enough for me to go back, the management team and board can still get to f**k. I imagine it will be enough to bring some others back to the club however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Jack D Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Good first step. I think they need to go much much further in order to actually mean what they said but a good and very necessary first step. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, and McGlynn and Smith should still be moved on at the end of the season, as unfortunate as that is. For me though, I'm just happy I can go and support the players on the pitch who don't deserve any of this shambles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Michael W Posted February 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2022 This climbdown is almost certainly a result of the club's volunteers, one by one, resigning and letting the club know this is not acceptable. To all of you - you're amazing. 62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Serves as a nice reminder, never ever f**k with your fans. Power to you all, now I can start hating you bunch of cereal munchers again 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine that if DG is punted, McGlynn and the board go, then maybe they'll return eventually. Although I fear for the Raith community that their club have done some very serious damage here. Recovery may take a long long time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I’m not surprised at Benedictus tbh. Besides his previous indiscretions, there seems to be an unwritten rule that dressing rooms will stick together and protect players. There’s a fair chance that there will be some players that will be unhappy with the signing but won’t speak up out of fear of losing their job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To all of you - you're amazing. I think it's down to anyone and everyone associated with Raith Rovers who have stood up and said this signing is not on. Be it sponsors, volunteers, fans or the women's football team, other off field staff (and anyone I've missed). Well done to each and every one of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
