Clearly I don't want to name names here but I have no reason to doubt its 100% true and the story being confirmed by DGW backs that up. If someone at the club wants to offer their side of the story I'd love to be proven wrong but the silence on the issue suggests its true. Anything to the contrary would directly conflict with DGW and others who were involved on 31st. Its time to move on from DGW but let's not pretend no mistakes have been made. How quickly we learn from them and move on is most important now. Its a steep learning curve! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The events refer to the day Raith made their late night announcement that he'd signed. Go back and check if the date is the bit that's bothering you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 39 minutes ago, Back Post Misses said: They appointed the manager and give him a budget. Those two issues IMO are the managers responsibility - not the Board That’s not how it works though. Goodwillie was not by any stretch of the imagination your standard signing. But for his infamous rape charge, he would have been nowhere near FFC let alone Clyde. When such matters are out there (and anyone choosing to dismiss the Me Too movement is just plain daft), then no-one in the media, in women’s football, or just the general public is going to accept his signing as being a managerial decision, and nothing to do with the Board. RR tried that line with it being a “footballing decision”. The reputational standing of the club always has and always will sit in the Boardroom, not the dug out. If Goodwillie had signed for Falkirk, anyone trying to justify it as having nothing to do with the Board would be shot down in flames. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How quickly we learn from them and move on is most important now. Its a steep learning curve! What the New Board have to do is stop leaking, inside information or whatever to all and sundry. If this went on anywhere else in business their feet would not touch the floor out the boardroom Comes across rightly as poor professionalism and low standards at board level. What do these arseholes think they achieve with these leaks. Buck up your ideas if it goes on like this we will be an even bigger laughing stock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reps know my view. If they differ, they differ I have not asked them. I trust them to do what they believe is the best for the club. If that is different to my view so be it. 10 minutes ago, Back Post Misses said: Maybe I missed it but I think he signed for Raith? The point isn’t about where he ended up, it’s that had we offered enough money then we’d have been in Raith’s shoes. Besides, we were talking about whether the board should bear responsibility for the error of trying to sign him. Your post from January is a bit contradictory to what you’re saying now, as how could they be trusted to do the right thing if you believe they shouldn’t have a say in any signings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my understanding of what happened that is why I asked about what day the 31st was. Anyway when there is an AGM the shareholders will be entitled to ask the question and we will get the answer. Neither you or I really know the full story. Time we all moved on and the truth can be asked for at an AGM.

Bigbri Bairn Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 If we did indeed bid for him then we have learned a lesson for free. The media and sponsors do not want associated with DGW and it does more harm than anyone imagined. We learn a lesson and use it for future signings 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
