Neale Hanvey comments on Goodwillie controversy

For Immediate Release: Thursday 3 February 2022

DAVID GOODWILLIE

Reacting to the news that Raith Rovers Football Club will not now sign David Goodwillie, Neale Hanvey MP for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath said:

“This is the right decision by Raith Rovers Football Club.  They have heard the widespread public anger and acted accordingly.  This has been a sorry chapter in the history of the Club which was facing an open rebellion from its fan base and the wider community.

“The decision will be warmly welcomed across the whole community and particularly among the many women and girls who expressed their disgust at the decision to award a playing contract to the individual in question.

“However it should not have taken senior figures associated with the Club to withdraw their support and a major public backlash for them to see sense.

“Serious questions must now be asked of the Board and senior management of the Club who have brought us to this sorry place.  The club must make strenuous efforts to repair damaged relationships and work to reinstate those who took the courageous decision to resign from the club in protest”.

Yours for Scotland Welcome to my long-awaited blog page. Friends have been urging me to do this for years but the technology frightened me. Now thanks to Dave Beveridge and my oldest daughter Laura I am finally in business. This blog will be totally pro-Independence for Scotland and I hope to comment on all the topical issues of the day using a bit of humour and controversy wherever I can. I hope you find it an entertaining and informative read and will recommend it to your friends. www.yoursforscotlandcom.wordpress.com
