She states that her and Andy Mill took a load of quotes from the emails they received to John Sim but he refused to rule out signing him, simply stating "Clyde would never sell him anyway". She also believes the signing was made before the board meeting, although that's just a feeling, she's no evidence for that. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this was a done deal in December, if Clyde didn't want to sell him why are they saying Clyde got in touch with whoever at the club at the weekend of the QoS game, something stinks Edited February 5, 2022 by SirJimmyofNic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margie didn't have the benefit of hearing Bill Clark say that Clyde contacted Raith over that weekend when she said that. But still, the two accounts don't have to contradict each other- the deal could have been agreed in principle on the Sunday before the board meeting on the Monday.... or maybe Margies gut feeling is wrong. I'm not sure why you think those two accounts mean something stinks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see it myself but heard someone say that's what it said. Caused a bit of a furore with a woman in the row in front of me turning round and unsurprisingly doing her nut at them.

stevoraith Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) There are seriously guys who care that much about supporting a rapist that they've made a banner? Jesus Christ. I think back to 16yr old me doing my nut and shouting at referees etc and I'm embarrassed. I hope they are properly ashamed of themselves when they're old enough to understand what they're condoning.

Rovers_Lad Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 As a board member did Bill Clark not think to ask who from Clyde contacted the Rovers and who at the Rovers did they contact? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lang Toun Lad Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 It's taken me from Monday until just now to catch up on all the threads. I don't really know where to start other than that I'm utterly gutted. Gutted that we'd make such a wildly stupid signing, gutted at the the reputation of the club being dragged through the mud and back, gutted at McGlynn throwing away his legacy as one of our greatest managers, and gutted for DG's victim to have his name brought up the world over. I've not been at either game since the news broke but I will be back at some point. What a shambles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJimmyofNic Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 The media reports, and if Bill Clark has confirmed that then he and the fans Director must have been left out if the loop, it was dead in the water in December by all account , unfortunately we'll never find out just when the deal was done 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Sounds like McGlynn is getting it fairly easy even though he must have been involved in the decision to sign that player. Can it be that Raith supporters are so fickle that they seem to overlook his part in this tawdry episode just because he's been a reasonably successful manager for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends what his part was. One of the directors has already intimated it was less than most here had assumed all week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is obviously salvageable. Actually, I suspect that you are both somewhat on the same page. It could well be that Raith Rovers will end up delinking from Starks Park to recover from this mess. The club could be bought off Sim for a relative song, and I doubt he would hesitate to then strip Starks of all value and sell/develop the land if the new owners (Community?) were to move the club. However, for this scenario to pan out, the Rovers would likely have to drop to League Two, or perhaps One, and find a new home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
