Hopefully it’s a positive move and seems fairly impressive on the face of it but I guess give the ownership situation we would be daft to believe everything or anything that is being said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 The guy Gustavo Moure who is mentioned appears to have been Diego Maradona's agent. Which is utterly bizarre.

BallochSonsFan Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 At least it looks like he'll bring some relevant football business experience to the board. completely out of left field. Interesting to see if this impacts on the current ownership group and their plans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoTeamGaz Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) If it helps at least clear up reasoning as to how that badge has become yellow - the SVG club badge that’s the master copy was produced in bright yellow. In about 2007 I changed it to the proper club “sunflower yellow” and started using it on stuff - I guess somewhere between all the board changes and what not the original SGV file is being used again - assuming it’s not intentional it’s just all they currently have.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) The first question you have to ask yourself is what is genuinely in it for these types of characters if they are just coming in to do an honest job? Absolutely f**k all. It’s certainly not money, unless of course there are some sort of dodgy goings on in the background. That should make everyone instantly sceptical. Why do they want to invest in Dumbarton Football Club? What is the end goal for them? As for this daft chat regarding regarding overseas recruitment… that was trotted out not all that long ago by a certain Henning Kristoffersen and the closest we’ve come to that is a permanently injured Norweigan from Clyde. What overseas player is going to get a work permit to play part-time football in Scotland? And what overseas investor wants anything to do with a part-time Scottish football club? You can mark me down as extremely sceptical and almost slightly offended that they think we are that daft as to take in this pish like soup.

BallochSonsFan Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Complexities in the system? Complexities like the reality that absolute jobbers from the EU won't get work permits to play in the lower leagues in Scotland? Those complexities? Not that complex tbh. There's no way we'd be paying him enough to qualify as a skilled worker and he wouldn't come close to passing a football panel to get a work permit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Somewhat unusual that the club would put out an official statement that they aren't signing an unidentified player. Usually clubs just announce someone when they sign or not at all. Peculiar. As for South American superstars' agents becoming directors and / or investors, I've never heard so much shite. Laughably poor attempt at distraction and deflection in the club statement. Some fanny has sat and thought that statement up, read it back to themselves and thought "aye, that's a cracker, the fans will be so enthusiastic about the mention of Maradona et al that they'll not stop to ask any awkward questions". Absurd. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
