Sergeant Wilson Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 4 minutes ago, JBJ said: There is a future payment I believe but it’s comfortably accounted for in the Club accounts. This was not a distress sale. If you know something, come out with it, rather than asking obtuse questions. To go back to an earlier point. It's not wild speculation to state a club might be finding money tight and decide to realise an asset. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it dilute RR’s responsibility in this situation to encourage people to believe the player was offered rather than RR pursuing him? He was not pursued that was made clear by our CEO to our major sponsor , of course given what you're implying, she may be a bigger liar than we already know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does it dilute responsibility and who has suggested it does?

ribzanelli Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 A board member who resigned revealed that Clyde offered him to Raith. Up to you if you believe that but not sure what his motivations to lie would be, given that he resigned in protest at the signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 34 minutes ago, JBJ said: Maybe Ms McDermid could introduce you to her literary agent. Surely an approach in December to the player or his employers would be illegal given it was out-with the January transfer window? Well something leaked stating we were interested during that period which caused uproar. Whether we approached said player or Clyde at that point I don't know. Ultimately, if true that DG wanted to move on, Clyde would have found themselves in a similar situation we've found ourselves in in recent years i.e 'can't stand in his way', 'can't keep hold of a player who doesn't want to be here' etc. All we can go on is what one of our former directors have said in that Clyde contacted someone from our club offering us DG towards the end of the January transfer window. If it was the other way around (ie we've approached Clyde at the 11th hour) then no one, either at our end or Clyde's end, appears to be saying that through either not knowing or not wanting to divulge it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was, no-one is saying anything different. Only that the CEO or a Director might have been reticent to admit it. They signed him! It can't have been involuntary. If Clyde decided to sell, it makes sense to contact a club that might be interested. They probably called a few others. You can't keep track of every Director's conversations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a right laugh if he expressed interest in the same player when he was Chair. That would be too far fetched..... wouldn’t it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 I'd imagine it's quite common place for clubs to notify other clubs of when players are available. We brought in Sean Mackie on loan from Hibs because they sent out correspondence to every potential club who might be interested saying he was available and not in Maloney's plans. Clyde may well have contacted clubs to say Goodwillie had said he'd wanted a final crack at full time and that they were open to any bids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s an assumption that Clyde decided to sell their best player, and upset almost every Clyde supporter and that the club was not approached with a formal enquiry for the player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go back to my earlier point. "We should sell Goodwillie... But the supporters will hate us. Well we could do with the money, he's injured and a depreciating asset..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the assumption that money is a problem at Clyde currently and that the top scorer in Scotland is depreciating in value so quickly that Clyde decide to offer him for sale to potential buyers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
