THE supporter who launched the fan takeover of Partick Thistle has welcomed the resignation of seven board members this week following months of bitter off-field unrest and predicted a bright future lies ahead for the Firhill club under their new hierarchy.
Paul Goodwin, the former head of Supporters Direct Scotland who advised Dunfermline, Hearts, Motherwell, Morton and Stirling Albion on community ownership, first approached the late EuroMillions lottery winner Colin Weir about gifting his major shareholding in the Jags to his fellow supporters back in 2019.
Goodwin was astonished in August when Three Black Cats Ltd (3BC), a shelf company which then chairman Jacqui Low was a director of, decided not to hand Weir’s 55 per cent stake to the Jags Foundation, a community interest company set by fans.
