Can't believe folk think it's David Goodwillie 🤣

He has been sacked from clubs from bottom EoS/English Non League and 2nd Tier Australian football but folk think it's possible that probably the most media savvy team in Scottish 5th Tier would take that grenade.

All this hub bub and it'll be Cillian Sheridan lol. They know precisely what they're doing, maybe Si is giving them tips on how to create attention for the club.

Seen people saying its Rory Loy.

Don't know if any of this can be classed as 'savvy' from a comms perspective. Anyone can get people talking for the wrong reasons.

Stevie Wonder can see it is not Goodwillie but I would hardly call this savvy.

It's crass and in really poor taste. "All publicity is good publicity" doesn't really wash when every person from the outside is looking at the club thinking what a bunch of clowns they are.

Hes never played in the top flight though? 

"A former top flight forward in Scottish football"

Doesn't actually say he's played but he was contracted to a top flight club obviously.

Also has Rory Loy not been retired for a few years?

It’ll be Sheridan.

is the ‘good comes to those who wait’ line not a Guinness marketing thing? Irish etc etc

"Good things come to those who wait"

Bog standard saying which yeah Guinness used.

East Kilbride even manipulated the phrase, changing it to "good will" to make it allude even more to Goodwillie.

They obviously aren't signing him, this time.. but using it for clicks and views is crass.

There's not a chance two folk as PR savvy as Mick Kennedy and Si Ferry sign Goodwillie. Especially with EK already looking very strong and building a strong, positive presence online.

Mick Kennedy is clearly supportive of Goodwillie but I’d still doubt he will be the player referred to, given the troubles his signing has caused other clubs. Even if Kennedy was stupid enough to sign him others would need to agree. Whoever runs the social media account though knows exactly what they’re doing and it’s piss poor. From the names mentioned on here, Cillian Sheridan probably fits the bill most, a good pal of Si Ferry’s too. 

Ive seen sympathetic tweets with regards ‘giving him a second chance’ shite from Mick when the Raith stuff happened, then hes retweeted those utterly despicable tweets where he somehow tries to make himself the victim in all of the fallout. I have heard that Goodwillie was offered a contract at East Kilbride and that he had agreed terms, but then Si Ferry found out about it and threatened to quit if it went through. 
 

Personally think it will be Lafferty, he was offered £1600 a week by Johnston Burgh and asked for it all in advance of the season, so the guys clearly looking for money.

Kennedy seemed to hint it wasn't Lafferty, Goodwillie or Griffiths last night as they were the three names constantly thrown about that he half-dismissed. Cillian Sheridan or Ally Roy seem likely.

You are probably right, the amount of baggage that comes with the first three mentioned really isn’t worth the hassle for the club.
