Onthegoalline1876 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I can't believe this is even being considered. New board and manager seemed to suggest we were hopefully at least on the right path again. As a very long time fan, I would be absolutely disgusted and very disappointed in them to think they thought this was in any way a correct decision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but this clearly represents something more than just signing a player people don’t want. There is a principle involved that could deeply affect the club. If that’s not an issue to be consulted on by the relevant representatives then I don’t know what is.

Whatever you've been told, it's a lot of bollocks. At the same time why would Clyde go to the bother of wasting loads of time negotiating a fee for a player who when push comes to shove can't agree terms with the club who want to sign him? It happens all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 It’s no tapping up if it’s agreed by both clubs for the personal terms to be agreed first before the clubs agree on a fee.With the Dan James transfer to Leeds that was mentioned he was at Elland Road on deadline day had his Leeds contract agreed, sways number picked out and had already taken the customary new signing pictures. But then Swansea stopped answering the phone to Leeds meaning they couldn’t agree a transfer fee and deal didn’t go through. I know that’s f**k all to do with Falkirk but just proof that this does happen fairly often in football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Kelly shows up and they happen non-stop. The start of this season was horrendous for them He could definitely have gotten tighter after it but it's not as if he's had a complete shocker, still a bad mistake not getting something on it at least Your video was of ATS was it not? Nobody on here's going to argue with you regarding Kelly we know he's average and constantly unfit.

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 2 hours ago, Springfield said: Can’t seriously believe or accept any vote from a fans perspective / external organisation(s) for a player we shouldn’t be near or associated with. The new BOD are responsible for running our club in a honest, transparent and with the highest morals. If they are seriously thinking of bringing this piece of shite to our club, they can all GTF. 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. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocco Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 5 minutes ago, AGPar said: I couldn't give a toss what Daniel James did or did not do at Leeds or Manchester United. If you think Clyde are giving permission for Goodwillie to go off and speak to other clubs without having an acceptable, concrete offer on the table, you're deluded. No, you’re just a closed mind person that has no idea what he’s talking about. Let me try this one more time for you. He has likely said he wants to speak to us and due to his service to the club they have allowed him to do this rather than reject it and have their star player unhappy, however, Clyde will have a figure in mind that they will want for him and they will become the sticking point. Believe it or not but this is extremely common in football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 1000% All the bad decisions over the past 5 years taken by the club aren't as bad as this one. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a fucking minute. Are you actually saying that in your view anyone can make up a story about anyone, and the person who’s had the fabrication put upon them should be judged and their character smeared by a pack of lies? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was comparing his mistake there as being similar to ones Kelly makes. Although with Kelly in the team we made more mistakes overall, with ATS in them we made very few but that's probably more to do with it being a better defence he was a part of. It probably points towards him being just a bit of a boring, albeit reliable player who is unspectacular 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 42 minutes ago, TedCrilly said: FSS have members on the board. I’m pretty sure the committee will have a slight idea if there’s any truth to the rumours. Have the FSS reps asked the FSS to hold this vote or has someone else from FSS just decided to do it anyway? If the reps have asked then that's concerning otherwise I doubt anyone at fss will know anything as it's bound to be confidential information at present. If the FSS reps have asked for it and yet people on here are saying we have definitely made a bid for him then that surely is taking the piss trying to gauge the fans opinion whilst trying to sign him anyway. Would be a complete waste of time . Can anyone confirm whether the fss reps have asked for this vote as that certainly would confirm interest. Otherwise it's still conjecture. Goodwillie will surely have an agent? I would expect us to agree terms with him before making any bid to sign him from Clyde or at least to find out what he was after if we were trying to sign him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passionate Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Apparently Clyde are playing hardball on the Goodwillie deal 35k and Jamie Wilson is the Falkirk offer.... Clyde are demanding Jaime Wilson stays at Falkirk, developing story..... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
