David Sutherland, has sent a letter to the website and asked that we publish the Tulloch viewpoint. We will happily do so. We will also be happy to publish comments from other pivotal figures involved in Monday night's meeting if they wish to submit them so that fans can decide for themselves.

Message from David Sutherland, Tulloch plc

Understandably, considerable comment has been forwarded to the website following on from last Monday night's club AGM. I felt it was appropriate to comment on the situation from the Tulloch viewpoint.

For many years, we have contributed to the continuing finances of our club without any hidden motives and always with best intentions. Our investment is viewed by our board as contributing to the club's continuing role as a success story for the city of Inverness. We wish to continue supporting the club and are prepared to invest further to help bring SPL facilities and SPL football home.

At present, we are unable to do so as plc rules dictate that we and/or any party associated with the company and/or its directors cannot purchase shares without offering to buy out other shareholders and subsequently mount a takeover bid. We are not prepared to line the pockets of other shareholders at the expense of investment in the club.

We very much appreciate the support shown for the club's proposals by the overwhelming vote in favour at both the Member's Club and the AGM; on the website and by the numerous telephone calls we have received to date. Please continue to support the case for change to secure a viable future for our club once and for all.

We will not go away and will continue to assist the club, supporters and the vast majority of likeminded shareholders in ensuring that the fabulous success achieved on the field is matched by corporate stability if we are permitted to do so.

Many thanks

David F Sutherland
