I don't understand what people want. The BoD are trying to get the player off the wage bill and this is probably, in the short term, the only solution. The club have stated that he will NEVER play for Raith Rovers. If Clyde want him back then that is up to them. I bet it won't get anywhere near as much publicity as they don't have someone equal to Val McDermid.

As someone posted a few weeks back, i can't be bothered to scroll back to find it, too many supporters have "reacted to the reaction". Although the BoD have made a huge error the last 4 weeks, it can't be forgotten what good work they had achieved previously. People staying away is not helping the club.

I know this still won’t sit well with a lot of people. But in my opinion this is probably the best outcome financially for the club.
If we are paying his wages still then at least it’s only 6 months of the 2 and a half year contract.

He can't sign for Clyde because he's already been signed by two clubs this season, no matter at this juncture the rights and wrongs of the signing. It's a fact.
The loan season for lower league clubs closes tonight if I'm correct. Others may correct me on this.
So it's the best that can be done to get him definitely off the premises for the rest of the season.
What the arrangement made for paying him is, nobody, but those who have brokered this, will know . Everything else is conjecture, rumour and clueless guessing.
It's been a massive own goal, of that there's no doubt, especially when the "flyer" at the end of December created the reaction it did, but things have to move on or everything will just stagnate.
Looking likely that Clyde are in line for flak over this move but unlike our press theirs will have blown over likely long before Saturday, mainly because of a lack of high profile supporters, unless Dougie Donnelly from days past counts as high profile. MSP John Mason saying he's not going back now to the end of the season. Each to their own.
The player will be associated more in the public eye now with Clyde... hopefully 🤞

I think CB is suggesting we need to move on. Trying at every turn to keep this alive Tex and Gary, is only keeping the bad feeling alive AND I genuinely believe this is affecting Team performances.

The latest half page article in the courier lambasting the club as Hypocrites because they had released a statement on "World Women's day" simply points to the fact that Raith Rovers FC are Damned if they do, and Damned if they don't. Can you imagine the courier report if they had simply said nothing on World Woman's day? might it have read, "Women hating Raith Board fail to acknowledge World Women's Day"? You bet it would.

It is bad enough that outside forces want to perpetuate this Anti Rovers feeling, but I ask you guys, Should we really be continuing this line from within the club? The Board have said changes will be made. Please therefore have the patience and good grace to allow them to make these changes in the time frame needed. Carping like impatient adolescents from the side lines is only damaging the club that we all love, and you allege to?

Please guys STOP and give us all some time to heal.

It absolutely perplexing people having a pop at the club for their International Woman's Day tweet. Can only be done by those ulterior motives.
I to went had a look at Val McDermid twitter and I think someone needs to tell her and McDermid Ladies that displaying the letter Z has taken on a more sinister aspect in recent weeks.
