If we had signed him 3 years ago there would have been an outcry but nothing on this scale.
However in the time that has passed we have had the me too movement, Sarah Everard and "cancel culture" Which has (rightly) highlighted violence against women and girls. As such this signing was always going to be toxic for the club. His career at Clyde was tolerated and almost under the radar as he'd been there so long.
There is no good way out if this situation and the club will be tainted by it for a very long time. The board have and will double down hoping to ride it out.
