This was scheduled to be the press conference ahead of the Rovers Cup match against Celtic, but events have moved forward and we apologize enormously for the distress we have caused to our fans, our sponsors and anyone with a heart in any way. have done it. It was never our intention to do that, but Glenn described the

signing

of David Goodwill as a collective decision discussed by him and the board of directors. A lot of people in this club, whether volunteers, staff, a couple of board directors have resigned in the last two years. weeks, have you considered your own position considering all that I have been here for the better part of nine years in two terms?

I love the football club. I love working here. I have had to consider a lot in the last 10 days, but at the same time, I think that there is a lot of good work being done here in everything related to the football club and I have the opportunity to correct the mistakes, if I made a mistake, I don't think I should be the one rushing to Ryanair for four. Boy, do I want the opportunity to build bridges for Marie, who has been a lifelong fan and who quit her job at the club's community foundation for the firm.

Today's apology is too little, too late. The damage has already been done, I mean the damage to reputation.

Sorry, it's not something that bothered you, I was captain of the clause, I focused on football games at one point, they didn't ask me anything, so you must have had your own thoughts about it when you heard as captain a collaborate alone focus on football say your thing we're not bad people you know we're not bad people I'm not a bad person so I don't know you know I just want that chance to do well that will probably be easier said than done
