Do you reckon ICT can bounce back to the SPL next season, and what are the biggest threats to them not making it ?

Edited May 23, 200917 yr by beachcomber

On today's showing our priority would be to consolidate our position in Div 1.

Pie-in-the-sky if you think we can win Div 1 with our pathetic long-ball game and the some of the players we have right now at ICT. I saw Richie Hart and Graham Bayne at the stadium today. These are the sort of battlers we could be doing with in Div 1 next season. Just a pity they are not still with us.

I think we will, we are an spl team!

No.... We were an SPL team....

I think you can and i really hope you will go straight back up and I would say thats coming from the majority of Hearts fans to as they really enjoy coming up to Inverness.

As i said would really like use to get straight back up thought use deserved to stay up. Its more to do how your club has grown and what you`ve achieved season after season ok abeit this one with limited resources. :thumb03:

Grow up.

I'm definitely looking forward to next season. Make a pleasant change to be challenging for a league title rather than wondering if we'll finish 8th/9th/10th/11th/12th in the SPL.

As a season-ticket holder through most of the years since Div.3 days, I think the last 5 in the SPL have been the least enjoyable.

Bring on the derby!

IF ICT can hold onto some useful players (ie - Odhiambo, Kerr, Morais etc), and that's a big IF, then there's always the possibility of going back up. I personally voted NO as I think ICT will not have what it takes, and what I'd do is make next season the "season of rebuilding" and then in season 2010/11, ICT could have a good chance of getting back to where they want to be.

Least enjoyable in a footballing sense but very enjoyable knowing that ICT were there eating at the top table, never mind just the derby, Livingston, Partick and Ross County are all teams I am looking forward to stuffing.

I can't see us coming straight back up for a couple of reasons. Firstly, although we don't know which or how many players we are going to lose, it's fair to assume that the first team will change a bit, and the players will take time to gel. Secondly, we don't have any regular recent experience of playing these teams, and thus may be at a disadvantage when it comes to knowing the best way to set out against them tactically. A team like Dundee may add a few players over the summer, but the nucleus of their side is probably quite settled and will have plenty of experience of playing at this level.

I think we will, we are an spl team!

No we arent we still have our squad built round what pele had us at but now with TB and MM here and now back in the 1st division we can start to rebuild and move on to become a true SPL team

going to be very difficult an a lot depends on what players we keep and what sort of plan/budget the board have in mind for this senario

We have some advantage over the previous relegated clubs. We will hold on to a number of players who are paid little more than Div 1 wages anyway. We are going down with a financially healthy club. We have room to reduce our squad to around 22 which would save up to 350 k in salaries, insurance etc. We are accustomed to shrewd budgeting. We have a management team with experience of achieving a successful team from nothing.

History dictates we wont go back up but we are the writers of history.
