No one is disputing that. However you would surely agree that there are a very small number of players that pose a huge reputational risk to the club and its partners/sponsors etc. DG falls squarely into that category 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have ran with the same budget as last season and ran with a similar sized squad as last season. But they didn't and that has a financial impact. No it isn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in 99.9% of cases. However, quite clearly the objections to signing Goodwillie were not based on footballing reasons. So to suggest that the board should or would have no involvement in that decision is wide of the mark in my view. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatapyBairn. Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Have I missed something? Did we sign David Goodwillie? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I doubt we'll sign anyone in January unless there's outgoings and even then I don't think the money is there to pay them off. Sneddon is already away on loan, Wilson being injured is a bonus for him in that it means he'll probably see out the two year contract he was given laughable as it was. Which leaves Seb Ross, and possibly Watson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most recent I can think of are “The Rawlins” and Colin Liddel. I’m sure there are a few more if you care to go back far enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGlynn has the say so on players, like a manager should have, but we’re kidding ourselves if it doesn’t need signed off by the chairman or BOD in our set up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are quite happy that a manager decision can damage the clubs potential future income and reputation? Your approach is fine the majority of the time but not on this one.Seriously…in what other aspect of business would such an approach that the managers make strategic decisions that could harm the firm, with the directors excluded?… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
