roverthemoon Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 On the Bill Clark thing. No idea whether what he said on K107 was true or not. We’ll probably never know. The only reasons I could see him being keen to portray it as Clyde offering us the player rather than the other way around would be to protect John McGlynn and minimise his role in the whole thing. Many at the time were saying he was to blame for wanting the player in the first place. It would also help shift the blame to Sim and the rest of the board as the ones who rubber stamped it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flood Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Do Raith fans actually think McGlyn would allow the board to identify and sign players without his say so? Seems a bit off deflection going on… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was “undisclosed” which I’m taking to mean at least one party didn’t want the figure known and that both Clubs then agree to keep the information private. If that figure is correct, it doesn’t seem much for the top goal scorer in Scotland with 18 months remaining on his contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Goodwillie is(was) probably in the last of his best footballing years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit off deflection going on… Agreed. If he was so strongly against this signing or even the mechanism by which it happened (ie without his say-so) then he would walk of his own accord? It's obvious all McGlynn wanted was a goalscorer & it sounds like he didn't really care that much about the back story.

No. I just wondered if the 50k was an accurate figure or a guess, as both clubs must have agreed to confidentiality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Goodwillie is(was) probably in the last of his best footballing years. To Clyde he’d not be replaceable so the 50k if that is the transfer fee is not quite as valuable as you’d imagine. His wages we would hope would remain in the player budget and be used to help bring in several players at a slightly higher wage than we currently can afford across several positions. Playing with better players he would have most likely done really well for you for a good couple of seasons at least. Being offered a 2 and a half year contract at almost 33 would show that the RR manager thought so too. We’ll never know now. Anyway, good luck to RR for the rest of the season.

At the risk of further debate, I wonder what the weekly wage was going to be. Edited February 22, 2022 by JBJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
