same_ol_g35 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'm not enthused by this, but I'll give the boy a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Has anyone ever seen Perry play? Don't think I ever have so know nothing about him. Seen him play far too often. Woeful is an understatement. But I suppose having Marv in defence last season, there won't be much improvement though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karpaty Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 It's only a "short term deal" so not fussed about that but I will be quite pissed off if Ferguson planned to get rid of Marsh specifically to get him in. Really does strike me as BF didn't like Marsh from the very beginning, he'd been critical of him since he arrived. When we played Rangers in this league Perry was the weak link and reports from elsewhere aren't promising. Of course he has got to be given a chance but I'm not sure I'd start him in front of say, Michael Oliver. I'm starting to wonder if BF knows what type of defenders fit into "his system" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Starko Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Perry was bad, well, very bad, when he played for Rovers. Admittedly, might perform a lot better two divisions below, but I wouldn't be too hopeful. Will be interested to see how he gets on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadlybarry Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 The club is pleased to announce the signing of Ross Perry on a short-term deal. After training with The Bully Wee recently, Barry Ferguson was keen to add him to the squad and the Clyde manager spoke to the official website this evening after concluding the deal. "I know Ross from earlier in his career, from the TV" he said. "He had a bit of a stop start time before he went to Brechin and then suffered a serious injury, similar to the one that Scott Ferguson had. "He's now over that and he did a full pre-season with another club, that didn't want him. We've had him in recently so it wasn't a quick decision to sign him, which you should not worry about, he's taken part in several training sessions and he's got stronger and better in each one. "The big thing for him at the moment is enjoying his football again and he's really enjoyed being with us so far, i look forward to putting an end to that - he's liked our training style and he gets on really well with the boys, but i don't talk to him much. " I'd have been kicking myself if I hadn't taken the opportunity to bring someone like him to the club, to waste some money and inevitability move him on in January." The club can confirm today that midfielder David Marsh, 26, has left The Bully Wee by mutual consent. Clyde manager, Barry Ferguson said: "David did well for us last season, despite me playing him all over the place, but he wasn't going to fit into my current system (subject to change) - of playing right mid and the way that I tell/demand him to play this year. "He wanted to go and try something else, like play as a central defender and I wasn't going to stand in his way - it was best for him that he moved on, instead of playing under me, again." Barry went on to say:"Hopefully i can fall out, then, get rid of another 5 or 6 players and bring another 5 or 6 in before the end of the season, its ambitious but that's my main aim." "I have also just wrote my new autobiography, its call "how to lose players and alienate people", hopefully the bully wee fans I hate adore give it a read" Former Rangers and Scotland captain Barry Ferguson, went on to managerial obscurity after an unsuccessful spell at the Cumbernauld club, despite having a considerably larger budget than his predecessors. Moving onto small TV and radio appearances and leaving the loyal clyde fans to pick up the pieces, again.. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Wee bit conserned given the assessment of fans from Raith Rvers in particular who seem not to rate him at all and from performances with Sevco. Have to give him a chance, don't have much choice but have to admit I am a bit disappointed. Certainly still a small squad and very little quality on the bench. Just have to hope we continue to score at the other end and main guys stay fit and free from suspension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM. Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Called Perry out for being rotten when Oldco played us in a friendly in 2010. Sawyers and Stewart ran rings round him Very poor signing IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullyweehutch Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Always reassuring to hear a new signing getting absolutely slated before they have even kicked a ball, Clyde sure know how to throw a welcome party.A feast for the haters and by the sounds of things the guy doesn't stand a chance really. The Clyde way, I'll stay quiet judging him till I've seen him play for us. We've had players be awful with us but good elsewhere so no point judging the guy, let him show us what he has to offer first 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyde4ever Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 So Marsh, yet another player Barry Ferguson inherited, has gone. Only wee Fergie left now. Yet another ex-Ranger signed in his place. IMO - the major job of a manager is to "manage" his players. Also, to motivate. I'm not convinced Barry can do either. I can't stand Gus McPherson's tactics - but he certainly knows how to do both. It's definitely promotion or bust this season as far as I'm concerned. No promotion - new manager required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadlybarry Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I don't mean to slate Ross Perry in anyway, hopefully he is motivated and does a job. I'm only not a fan of Barry based on evidence and I have gave him time to convince me. I hear him week in week out being negative to players on the pitch, pisses me off. He's a terrible man manager, I think anyway. I just hope the players look beyond that and do it for the fans. Cause they won't be doing it for Barry, that's for sure. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many players that Duffy inherited did he still have three seasons later? Sweeney, Iain Gray, maybe Gavin Brown would count. Which of those players that BF has moved on from that era would you take back? Maybe Marsh but no-one else. Why is it a bad thing signing an ex-Ranger when they're one of the two biggest teams in the country, with one of the most well-funded youth systems? Why should a manager not sign players he knows well? If motivation is such a problem, why are the players motivated? Why do good players choose to stay at Clyde? Why do we not get beaten easily? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfcuk Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Heard all this about Ferguson forcing out the Duffy galacticos and where are the playing now ? We are playing the best football in years if he sorts the defence then we have a right good chance of the league Yes he has his faults and maybe at the end of the day he will fail to get us out the league but Just maybe he might be a success No harm to Marsh did us turn and genuine guy and personally thank him for his time at clyde At least give Perry a chance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullyweehutch Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Clyde fans really are a bunch of moaning b*****ds [emoji23] We wanted him to sign a defender, he did so let's see him after a few games and not judge Perry before he's even kicked a ball for us fs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't necessarily say he forced him out, marsh may have asked to go if he knew he wasn't going to get game time. Will give Perry time to see how he does on the park, been training with us for a while it seems so hopefully can play his first game having built some sort of understanding with whoever he'll play with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
