Scary Bear Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Onto McGlynn now. Describing the process for transfers and player budget and how the club works. He doesn’t think John and Paul have done very much wrong at all. They are purely responsible for football management. Says it’s the Board’s decision. Stresses the decision was made by the Board. Critical of club management rather than football management. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critical of club management rather than football management. Yeah. I'd still be hoping and expecting McGlynn to say he wasn't keen on signing him. No doubt though that it sounds as if the remaining board members had already made up their minds to push the deal through before the board meeting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stressing that John and Paul just deal with football matters. Edited to add that the following are my opinions, not Bill Clarks; But they are humans too and should be aware of the other factors off the pitch. For example, if a player was known as being a disruptive influence in the dressing room I'd expect them to factor that into whether they wanted to sign him. This is no different.

Ro Sham Bo Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 If what Clark is saying is true, it's conceivable that McCartney thought that the deal was dead when she spoke to McDermid , given Clark was of a similar opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 It’s a Board where it’s very difficult to contradict the views of others. I’m assuming this is a round about way of saying it’s all yes men and John Sim is in charge. He wouldn’t expect John Sim to go as he’s the owner and has invested a lot of money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Basically if there aren't some changes to the board the future looks bleak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think a key statement was when he said if the board had said “no” John and Paul would have accepted that decision. Bill, I’m sure, mentioned that in his view all John and Paul did was “advise the board of Goodwillie’s availability”. It’s clear who Bill thinks was driving the decision, but it’s his account and we really need to hear from all parties. Not exactly a glowing endorsement of our CEO either!

ribzanelli Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Not really any clearer to me unfortunately. Seems like Clark exonerates McGlynn on the basis that it is the football managers job to look only at football matters and then the boards job to say ‘haud oan a minute’, not sure I agree. It seems Clyde approached the Raith board who put it to a vote, whether McGlynn was in the loop isn’t clear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Overall a decent interview and not much to be argued with apart from McGlynn. It's clear the rest of the board are Sim stooges and not exactly a glowing reference for our CEO either. Some changes desperately required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribzanelli Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Also, I felt like Smith must have known on the basis of his wife the CEO knowing, but she doesn’t seem to have been a CEO in the conventional sense. Not involved in football matters! I guess if Clyde put an offer to the board which they found acceptable then it might have gone straight to a vote without her being looped in? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was the negotiator in it all, and isnt she paid by John Dim and not the club Edited February 5, 2022 by SirJimmyofNic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really wasn’t clear that she negotiated it, she wasn’t involved in football matters and apparently wasn’t in the board meeting so I didn’t get a clear answer of her role in this from the interview unfortunately 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always next quarter Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 First real listen to the show, unfortunately the recording is unlistenable with my tinnitus. Will read the detail here. The interview itself was a good example where local radio can get detail club channels can't. Been disappointed in the sensationalist aspect of the courier this week (I know its a sensational issue) but there has been some Sun like headlines. I'm left with some key questions I hoped would be asked. Wish the interviewer had more confidence in himself. Always asking 3 questions at once where I think he had the skill to go down the route Bill wanted to go. IMO, the CEO knew about this, she is the owners ears so wholly complicit. Manager should have been told to GTF if he demanded the signing. He wasn't and chaos ensued when a cabal of folk with little to no social conscience stoked the fire. Thanks K107 I'm a bit clearer and the first meaningful blow has been thrown. Is the show always done over the web/folks cars? Would listen again if sound was better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Its all acedemic now the damage is done the money is lost, the future looks bleak, I dont know how the Football club can come back from this, unless there is a way to buy RRFC out and play somewhere else 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
