SLClyde Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 We should be doing all we can to get another centre forward in from somewhere, we’ve just freed up a good wage which would more than cover a loan for 6 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyde_1877 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I don’t often post or read anything on here but the past few days have stirred up a lot for me and i just wanted to put a few words somewhere. I was a young guy when goodwillie signed and perhaps immature and blinded by the fact he was scoring goals for my team and giving us unforgettable moments. Being young was no excuse to be honest and i probably should’ve done more research and had more of a moral compass, Singing his name every week certainly didn’t help. With the greenwood stuff coming out this week and being sickened by that and then having seen everything this week and reading the full court document, i find myself feeling guilty and conflicted having supported him all these years and wanting to believe he was innocent when with any other case i would always believe the woman. I realise it may seem convenient to come to this realisation now but it is what it is. It’s been tough for me so i can only imagine how the woman and Goodies family feels. I’ll be grateful for the goals and good times given but reflecting now i don’t know if i will be able to look back on it the same. Hopefully we can move past this and try to be better as a club and as people. cheers 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've also articulated your thoughts and feelings really well, which ain't that common for young men in Scotland. My discomfort on DGW has increased this week. I was in the 'rehabilitation and earn a living' camp when he signed and his goals saving Clyde helped me justify that thinking. However, learning that he was such a highly paid player and him pushing to leave, has changed my views. Reading the written judgement, doesn't paint him in a positive light in any way. The player has misjudged public opinion and I shudder every time I hear about the situation. We are a wee club with weak community relationships; we have a bit of a clean(er) slate now. If we are compensated for Raith taking DGW away, it might be an acceptable outcome for Clyde. I strongly believe we should NOT be offering Raith ANY money back. Caveat emptor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because its a historical issue some of which are still under investigation and there are now procedures and checks in place to prevent this occurring. I would imagine if a coach who had been done was to rock up at a club and given a job then she would most likely be approached for comment. What exactly are you wanting her to say are you just trying some good old fashioned whataboutery? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forehead7 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I really hope we wouldn't but fear we might. The backlash for taking him back would be considerably more than any we faced when we signed him initially. We need to move on from him and not take another disastrous move for our club's reputation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I hope to absolute Christ that we don't touch him with a barge poll. Think it will though, too many in the Clyde support still think he's a "hero" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Carrigan Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 The situation isn't the same as it was when he first signed (not that that's an excuse for us condoning it). We're not staring down the barrel of the Lowland League and financial oblivion. Bringing him back in would be an absolutely insane decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydeFCTheBullyWee Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I think the thing for goodie is back to us or he retires… don’t think any club would want to take the media heat that he’s carrying right now, our club has taken enough damage n personally as much as I love him as a player n I’m thankful for all he’s done for us, I wouldn’t want him back and I think we should be looking forward into new beginnings without him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde85 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Yeah agree 100% about not having him back after all this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 The club would be absolutely mental to take him back. Cut ties and move on and find replacements with the transfer fee and wage budget we now have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignoramus Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 I’m of the same view, it would be a misjudged move and we shouldn’t be doing it. If they did consider it, I would hope there would be a process of consultation with the fanbase, especially considering we are supposed to be a ‘supporter-run’ club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 It feels like, given all that's happened over the past few days and Goodwillie's desire to leave Clyde, that him returning would be more bad publicity than it's worth for you guys. If you pocketed the money for the player (which you shouldn't now lose given that Raith knew his background when they signed him) then you'd be better investing that in someone else imo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
