roman_bairn Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 What do they say without mentioning names? We’re not signing anyone? We’re not signing anyone based on Scotland? We’re not signing anyone from Clyde?You don’t even need to mention signing players at all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 So say nothing about signing anyone? [emoji848]Correct!You can actually quash the rumour by cleverly talking about your organisational policies rather than signing players. It could so easily have been added into that excellent statement they released the other day.Unfortunately, we did the opposite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 If I’m being honest, I’m more interested in the game today than all the rapist rumours. 3 points today are extremely important. We’ve got a new board, which we wanted. We’ve got a new management team, which we wanted. Weve got rid of Holt, which we wanted, and have Dowds back, which we wanted. It’s time for all these changes to start having a positive impacts to our results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because this suits some of the support the club should talk about a player at another club in our league who we may or may not be chasing. You just can’t have if both ways IMO. Of course you may not agree but we won’t agree on everything anyway. They weren't slaughtered for dismissing a rapist though. Probably the only thing they got right! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 No we didn’t. We made absolutely no comment about anything to do with signing players Pretty sure I just said we didn’t need to mention signing players?Rather than quash the rumours, a few lines towards the back of the statement fanned the flames, so therefore had the opposite effect… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeabairn Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) There are times when its right for the board to keep things confidential and (very rare) times when a decision is so contentious that they need to communicate with the fans. This is one of those times. Edited January 8, 2022 by Proudtobeabairn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do that, we’ll always make decisions we believe to be in the best interests of the club, whether those decisions are popular with all fans or unpopular with some" Takes a fair bit of spin to claim this comment hasn't anything to do with signing players. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those times. Where do you stop. Do you limit it to season ticket holders, FSS and patrons to vote on? Do you allow people who can prove they attend or pay for FalkirkTV regularly? Or do you make it an open vote for any fan regardless to vote on, which could easily be compromised? For me there should be no vote. The board make the decision and live with it either way. That is why they’re in charge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugby Is Terrible Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 16 hours ago, Bairnardo said: Heady days when you're relying on CLyde of all clubs to try and prevent your own clubs moral compass being smashed into a million irreparable pieces Aye, best hope is that the results of the vote causes them to quietly back away, but the use of the vote to actually justify the signing and deflect from the fact that it would be 100% the boards choice to ignore any semblance of common decency would be utterly vomit inducing. I don’t quite understand this logic though? If we’ve already made a bid to sign a literal rapist then the moral compass is already smashed into a million pieces. It says our management team and board are happy to pay cash money for a rapist because he’ll score goals and the only reason we won’t have a rapist playing for us is because Clyde are unwilling to sell. That’s completely unacceptable to me. With regards to fans demanding the board release a statement to distance themselves from the rumours, there’s an obvious reason why they haven’t done that… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I was swithering to buy a ticket or not... Have I just wasted another £13???All depends on who we’ve got available. If it’s true we’ve 11 players out and it’s dipshit Holt in goals then very much so yes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 The bods policy is quite clearly not to say or leak anything till something actually happens. As happened with Holt. I much prefer that to deans board being like a sieve. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason they aren't coming out to defend themselves from published stories in national newspapers associating the club with someone we want nowhere near the place, is indeed because they do want him. This story has Absolutely nothing to do with commenting on players signing or not before deals are done. If he doesn't sign it will be because we couldn't agree terms, not because we actually had a back bone and told him and any rumours to gtf. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stainrod Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 17 hours ago, Caractacus Potts said: Exactly. If we weren’t interested then there’d be zero point putting out a poll to further fuel the flames on here particularly when it was just dying down. I was already pretty certain there was a lot of truth in us considering him and this just underlines it. if we have made an offer then the horse has already bolted. I suspect the level of objections on social media has spooked the board into organizing this poll. Their position is difficult given the recent clusterfucks from the previous regime. The offer was around 30k the idea being to reinvest the saving on Holts salary & compo . The idea was sound but they are v concerned they have misjudged the gentrified support.( ie the ones most likely to invest in the club ) Clyde have knocked us back anyway so I’m suspect we will cut & run and look for an alternative . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
