Harry Haddock Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Let’s face it.None of you have a clue. Goodwillie is on record as saying he wants to stay at Clyde until he is 40. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodwillie is on record as saying he wants to stay at Clyde until he is 40. As good as that would be, as still think he could do a job when he is 40, that aint going to happen. I would settle for another 2 years onto his contract which would take him till he is 35 rather than sign anyone this month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may well be so. However, I was referring to the contract he signed on 31st March, 2017, an amateur deal until the end of that season. He signed his 3 year+ deal on 18th January 2020. So, back to my question, that it may be worthy of debate, as to who were the clubs showing serious interest before he signed in 2017.

I’m sure there’ll be other reasons than the wage Clyde are giving him just now He went bankrupt after the civil court case so all that moneys gone for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde_1977 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I genuinely thought we would have had at least a right back through the door by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is it more important to try and get specific what exact date interest was shown previously - “worthy of debate?” To score points against a Clyde fan or should we deal with the very real proposal that Goodwillie could be leaving us soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disnae huv another job. thats twice noo you’ve said about how good his wage is.... how dae you know what Clyde are paying him?. This is a very weird comment. He’s currently learning his trade as an apprentice and doing 1 on 1 coaching. It’s all fairly common knowledge. He’s literally from Stirling and still lives and works around that area, so can’t really hide it. As far as money goes, he was declared bankrupt in 2019. You couldn’t blame him for wanting a shot at a higher level but would it really be worth the hassle for him? He’s currently the biggest fish we’ve ever had in our very small pond and things have (mostly) died down re: the furore. From a purely selfish (from him) pov, would he put himself and his family through it again? Would his wife or work be happy with all the media clamour against him being dredged up again? I doubt it. I could be wrong, but I think the only way he leaves Clyde is by dropping out of the SPFL and signing with a Darvel, for instance.

Seems to be quite common thing in footballers and ex footballers who have made dodgy decisions in regards to investments and purchases. Not entirely sure how it works but is this not just a case of moving money around and writing off certain debts? Selling things off etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wished to clarify the post which claimed Goodwillie had been a subject of serious interest prior to signing for Clyde. I received a response which was relevant to his contract extension in January 2020. I'd still like to know which full-time clubs were interested before March 2017. (as suggested in the original post) Why don't you expand on your phrase, " the very real proposal that Goodwillie could be leaving us soon."? Danny Lennon has in effect said "hands off". Is DL wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was suggested full time clubs were interested the preceding year of him signing his extension- which you state was in 2020, therefore 2019 was when interest was widely reported from Livingston. but correcting you’re incorrect assumptions is like having a pop at a fellow fan , more pressing issues at hand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said there was any clubs showing serious interest before he signed in 2017? That’s why he ended up signing with us as think we were bottom of L2 at the time so couldn’t start any lower in the professional game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullyweeno1 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 4 hours ago, Mamtora said: "Having been the subject of serious interest from full-time clubs in the preceding year", you say. Interesting. Between Jan 2017 and March 2017, Caledonian Amatuer League team, Doune Castle was able to sign Goodwillie, despite this "serious interest"? Worthy of debate as to just who these full-time clubs were showing, "serious interest". Think you are getting your dates mixed up DGW signed his 3.5 year deal in Jan 2020 Livingston wanted to sign him in the summer of 2018 so I would say that is full time clubs showing serious interest (year before he signed the longer contract https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2827284/david-goodwillie-livingston-clyde-aberdeen-dundee-united-premiership/amp/ Before then there was no one interested and haven’t seen any claim there was any interest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Lennon has in effect said "hands off". Is DL wrong? The fact that DL has said hands off is irrelevant We all know that players have the power these days regardless of the length of contract If DGW has went and said to DL that he wants to leave and have one last try at a higher level I don’t think DL or the club would want to stand in his way. At the end of the day you don’t want an unhappy player at the club. Clyde has been good for DGW but DGW has definitely been good for Clyde and don’t know where we would be without the best player I have seen in 40 years as a fan I would be disappointed to see him go but he would go with my best wishes for all he has done on the park It just to me seems the interest is more solid this time than it has been before and the statement from DL is just positioning that we would want a reasonable fee for him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he need that exposure for a couple of years ? I believe that long term he will put more into football in a community based level and that will take time. No doubt he’ll have regrets but he’s currently in the early stages of a rebuild in his life which is a massive prospect at anyone let alone at 32. I’d be surprised if he left but if he does, then it’s up to him and I hope we get the best money for him if that happens, and wish him all the best too, as much as it would stick in my throat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
