Might be sensible and prudent for Billy to remain as a player on the books for next season, despite his stepping up to support Kells with more involvement in the coaching and management side of things.

I’ve not had an email so I expect/hope it’s heading my way via snail mail edit: now I’ve read your attachment properly Charles I can see it’s coming in the post -like being back at school and not reading the question properly

Report in the P&J said he definitely would not be signing for ICT - off to the Lilywhites and I wish him all the best…

Yes, you may keep the certificate of ownership of shares in a liquidated club.

It's going to be a very different squad again next year, regardless of who we keep and who we add to it, in whatever division. I suppose I'll just be happy the club will be there.

Who we can and can't keep will depend firstly on being out of admin and secondly on which division we are in. As stated, MacKinnon is the only player under contract. Bavidge, Brannan, Bray, Ewan, Nolan and Stewart will finish their loans; I'm not sure any of them will be rushing back for another season in League One (let alone League Two) Assuming Kellacher continues as manager, it seems possible - likely? - that Billy Mckay could continue as his assistant, which would seem like a good moment to hang up his boots. He'll be 37 in October. I expect other clubs to be sniffing around Dibaga, Allan and Gilmour; holding on to some or all of them would be a pleasant surprise.

Yes. There’s a reference on the second page of the letter which I didn’t have time screenshot earlier, although the caveat refers only to the CVA.

Does the stock transfer form contain any caveats stating that if Alan Savage doesn't get the required number of shares, and as a result pulls his offer, that the transfer will not be executed?

Depends how admin works out. Let's assume it goes well. We've currently got a small squad, full-time, that's garnered (excluding penalty) enough points to be comfortably in the playoffs. I'm not sure there's many moving to the Championship and part-time probably doesn't appeal. So that leaves Cove and QoS, assuming one of them doesn't get promoted, and presumably Airdrie. Many of those will have a settled squad, so how many of ours will they need, and will they have significantly more money after we solve our financial problems? I can certainly see a turnover but with an enhanced squad and no admin, I see ICT as a desirable place for many footballers. Can't see us losing many to Montrose or Stenny. I think we might be getting players from them.

Maintaining current capacity most definitely isn’t a priority, but saving operating costs most definitely is, so much of the spectator capacity surely needs mothballed? I was never sure why they went, I think initially, to 7200 in 2005 when the SPL had retreated as far as 6000 from their previous nonsensical 10,000. As I recollect, 6000 was only really exceeded during earlier visits of the Old Firm and even these high points dropped away within a few years. I think it was the West Stand that lifted it to 7500.

This, to shareholders, arrived by email at 1300 today. If you have lost your share certificate in the intervening 29 years this, apparently, won’t be a problem.

Yes

I did think this the other day, but aren’t we still only able to sign players under 20?

Already helping. Coaching the Womens Team and the Academy Goalkeepers. Off to the Lilywhites for next season. Mon the Clach!

As Ridger leaves Buckie with registration in hand does he become available for us ...would he want to help!

Just hope the accidental slip and pulled hamstring Musa had on Saturday doesn’t end up his last appearance for us. The guy has been immense for us and probably the one player than has had the most impact in where we are in the league. My player of the season by a Gambian mile. Alfie B draws attention for putting the ball in the net, but unfortunately injury again cut short his stint, (and boy, haven’t we missed him)! bc

The only player under contract for next season is Adam Mackinnon. It has been reported in the press that a few players have indicated they want to stay, but likely dependant on what league we are in, which as yet is still not certain. I imagine there will be quite a turnover of players with only the locally settled and younger players looking to stay regardless of league, perhaps????

I wasn't going to start this until the end of the season but I thought I would after I saw the article in the courier stating that Billy McKay may have a decision to make regarding his playing days come the end of the season. We need to wait until the end of the season before we get any news on who's staying etc, especially when we don't even know what league we'll be playing in (hopefully it's still L1). I also don't know who is still under contract as I don't really pay much attention to that, maybe I should . Anyway, we do already know that work is already starting on who to recruit as we have had trialists in plus the under 18s have been training with the first team squad this past fortnight. It will also be interesting to see how big a rebuild we have ahead of next season, hopefully not too big as that would mean that the vast majority will have signed new deals. Finally, this thread can be used to mention any rumours on who we could after but, again, we probably won't hear any until the end of the season.

That is actually a good question but I would suspect he will .

We've only ever sold out the current stadium once, and even in 2014/15 season our average was below 5000, so I'm not sure that maintaining the current capacity should be a priority. Feels a bit like buying a 6-bedroom house for your family of 3 because your Aunt and her family come to stay once every couple of years.

My concerns about a new stadium would be the size. If it makes good financial sense to move to the UHI site, then we need a stadium which will accommodate the likely crowds should we find ourselves in the top flight at some stage. There is no reason why we shouldn't, and If league reconstruction increases the number in the top flight, it would be an even more likely scenario. Even in the 2nd tier, we can expect bigger crowds for cup games from time to time. I hope that when AS talks about a smaller ground, he is referring to the footprint of the stadium. A stadium with the same capacity, but with a steeper rake and without all the wasted space between the pitch and the front row of seats would both take up a smaller footprint and provide for a better view and a much better atmosphere. Having a much more fan friendly and atmospheric stadium could be a significant factor in attracting more people to come to games and then to persuade them to come more regularly. The Supporters Trust's Matchday Survey highlighted several factors about our current ground which were felt to be poor. Fans responding to the survey came up with a wide range of ideas to make the matchday experience better. So, whether we stay or move, I would urge the future management team to have a good look at the survey and build in some of the ideas to future plans. Alan, Charlie, in case you haven't seen the survey, you can find the fans' views here.

Do we even know if Scott wants to continue beyond the end of the season?

ICTFC should absolutely not be looking to own/run a hotel....ask Kilmarnock how well that works!

The 10 vs 23 games is why I used average PPG. If you want to go back and include 23 games for Ferguson then his average is even worse and only strengthens the case for Kell. I don't take anything said online to heart so you can sleep easy and not worry about upsetting me. Feel free to disagree with me any time you like and I will continue to do the same.
