After fan/sponsors feedback decided to knock it on the head. Transfer window was nearing an end. Clyde decided to chance their leg with couple days left to see if we were still keen. CEO/board took it to McGlynn and Smith to see if they'd still take him. They've said yes and it's snowballed from there. Possibly but the longer the club are silent the more of these stories will start to circulate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can chose to believe him or not, but I pretty much trust what the man says. Maybe he has an axe to grind but it’s clear where he appropriates blame. He only resigned after the outrage by fans , He knew fine well about this , just trying to save himself -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price of silence - you lose control as others fill the gap on your behalf and you may struggle to regain the narrative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 As a supporter I’m all for stringing everyone up involved but to suggest Bill Clark or Andy Mill only resigned because of the backlash is speculation at best and completely unfair. It was announced late at night they could hardly ring John Sim at 23:00 to resign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally with bankruptcy you have to fill out income and expenditure sheets and then pay your excess wages towards your creditors. If he was on 50k at Clyde + potentially a delivery driver wage (not sure how recently he did that) there should definitely have been sizeable pahments made each month. Although how many crediors he had and what priority they got is not something we're ever likely to be privy to. Doesn't rule out him wanting to wait to this window then look to move for a signing on fee.

If I've got this right Clark is saying he was called into a board meeting and didn't know why i.e. he wasn't privvy to whoever within the club Clyde had been liaising with. He raised his concerns re signing Goodwillie, was outvoted and resigned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 This is getting quite silly. Mill and Clark both resigned immediately, or as immediately as makes no difference. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 6 hours ago, tazz1903 said: Well I'm sure as directors they would have known before it became public you would think? but keep on trying to defend these people The only thing they knew for certain was that the vote had gone against them in favour of signing him. The deal was then likely to go ahead and I'd guess that this was the junctutre at which they would have decided to go. However given that the deal then almost collapsed at 6pm and was only pushed over the line at around 10.30pm they would have been rather stupid to have tendered their resignation for something that mightn't have come to pass. The media reported that at least 1 director only found out officially when the club released it on Twitter, Mill & Clark would have talked to each other on the Monday night and by 11am on they Tuesday both had tendered their resignations with Andy Mill announcing on his directors facebook page at 10.18am. Was this not fast enough for you? Do us a favour Tazz and don't speculate on what you know nothing about, you do yourself no favours. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 ^^ Can't argue with much of the above. Although, there is a story in the main paper regarding the victim which I assume is similar to what was in the Sunday Post in which Benedictus is hung out to dry a bit. The article implies his comments were some sort of official statement on behalf of the players which is a bit unfair. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post roverthemoon Posted February 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) So as we start week 2 of this: The positives Goodwillie will never play for Raith Rovers The negatives We are down over £200k (£150k in wages/£50k+ fee) for nothing We’ve lost two major sponsors We’re down 2 directors We’ve lost our fans rep We no longer have a Women’s team We have lost Raith TV We no longer have an employability manager We are down roughly 400/500 fans We don’t have enough volunteers to run the full matchday experience Not one single person still at the club has been held responsible or resigned over this There’s been no apology to Denise Clair or victims The four directors who thought this signing was a price worth paying are still making decisions about the future of our club And that’s all before you even begin to consider the reputation damage. Yet the club still seem to be ‘nothing to see here’ Edited February 7, 2022 by roverthemoon 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
