I’m pretty sure the committee will have a slight idea if there’s any truth to the rumours. Why will they? I am a Patron and have no idea who any of the signing targets are. That is the way it should be IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you've been told, it's a lot of bollocks. Are you new to this? Maybe because he told them he wanted to speak to them. Go and do yourself a favour. Read up on why Daniel James didn’t transfer to Leeds in the January deadline day before he moved to United in the summer. Maybe you’ll actually learn a few things instead of thinking you know everything and dismissing what other people know.

AL-FFC Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) No being funny here but lets put a bit of perspective on things we are claiming a moral high ground here, but think back to when we signed McKenna he was acquitted of rape in the US. My take on this regardless of the player being acquitted of it or not there are still parents and a lass who claims she was raped and the person who committed that walked free. Not justifying signing Goodwillie in any way but how can we claim one situation isn't right when the other was acceptable as technically both situations were the same until the civil/private case against Goodwillie. We are basically being hypocritical about it Edited January 7, 2022 by AL-FFC -13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 9 minutes ago, 18BAIRN76 said: Believe it or not, we're not the only club at Championship/League One level who has needed a striker who can score goals since his ruling in 2017, but no one else has gone near him for obvious reasons. So why do we have to be the ones to sign him? What makes our situation so special? Edit to add: I appreciate you are not saying we should sign him, but his footballing ability doesn't even come into the question here for me. Because our squad is shite, we’re desperate. I honestly believe this is why the board are considering this. They’re desperate and know they need to try and get results quick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is easily the best striker we could possibly sign. I’m not saying we should sign him, but people acting like there are strikers out there who we can sign that are as good as Goodwillie are seriously deluded Nah mate, I agree, get the two of them to f**k if he's signed.

The difference is that Mckenna’s case was thrown out due to it being baseless, while Goodwillie has been found responsible in court and ordered to pay £100,000 compensation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the club need to put an end to the culture we had of sensitive information being leaked from within the board room, until the point there is something concrete to report things should remain confidential, it severely hindered the club’s ability to function as a business and looked amateurish. So far the new BOD seem to have done pretty well in changing that. Edited January 7, 2022 by LatapyBairn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't give a toss what Daniel James did or did not do at Leeds or Manchester United. If you think Clyde are giving permission for Goodwillie to go off and speak to other clubs without having an acceptable, concrete offer on the table, you're deluded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 57 minutes ago, FFC 1876 said: If you think that's a bad mistake you should see what Brad Mckay produces week in week out. He's misread the bounce of the ball and yes he should have got something on it but it's nowhere near as major as you've made it. He was playing in a side pretty known for it's defensive strengths, especially Livi of the last few years we've had little to no errors leading to goals. Sean Kelly shows up and they happen non-stop. The start of this season was horrendous for them He could definitely have gotten tighter after it but it's not as if he's had a complete shocker, still a bad mistake not getting something on it at least 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s out of order dredging this from the past. The laddie went through hell. I'm well aware of that, but as I say there's still another lassie involved that whether she told lies or not still probably maintains her stance. I still think this is knicker wetting though and there is no way we will sign him whether whoever started this with actual talks etc is on the wind up I don't know. I know the previous boards made some unpopular decisions but if there is anything serious about this that would completely trump anything Deans, Lang, CC etc done but there is no way given the depth of feeling about us signing this and tbh I don't see how anyone could justify it goal scorer or not. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I would actually hope that more people would turn their back on the club than many are expecting. I hope many would stick to their word/grow a backbone and not put any money into the club until he, and anyone who was involved in signing him, was catapulted out the door.
