Bannigan is out with a long term knee injury. He'd fit in well here!

Agreed, I'm a supporter of Yogi and what he has done at the club including accepting the injuries this season and how we have been unlucky with the signings but given the way the team has been playing the last few months, the constant excuses and the ever more increasing comments both written and from his mouth (which carry much more validity) its all getting a bit tiresome and negative - Bemoaning the Williams/Vincent sage, the comments about Tansey & Ofere in Jan, stories about Polly & Storey etc. The attitude this promotes is not positive, one comment is a dig at the board or can be seen that way, continual comments suggest a man looking or a way out - hopefully not but we know our budget yet there is no point complaining about lack of resources when those that have been used in some cases have been wasted or on sub-standard talent. Agents are obviously part of the game, but not all the blame lies at their door or even the players as they want the best deal, but the club have to do more and that starts with the manager and his tactics, philosophy and atmosphere he creates.

I'm surprised nobody else has commented on this. I agree it is not the greatest survey, but it is an attempt by the SPFL to get the views of supporters on a range of issues. Results will be broken down to club level so it is a good opportunity to show that supporters of ICT care about the future of the game. If supporters across Scotland don't give their views, how are the SPFL supposed to know what we think? If there aren't thousands of replies saying we support safe standing areas, for example, then the SPFL will assume that we are all happy with the way things are. As the OP says, it only takes 10 minutes so it is a great opportunity to give your views on a range of issues facing the game today.

That's bordering on unprofessional. I really don't want to hear things like that from our manager, why would anyone sign for us upon hearing something like that? It's hardly the most attractive thing for a prospective signing to hear. 'Please sign for us but should warn you that we're struggling to sign anyone elselse so you might be the only player we have and we'll probably be crap next season'

All I could find on him was this report for U-13 game http://www.youthfootballscotland.co.uk/southeast/890-south-east-region-club-news/fauldhouse-foxes-fca-news-/2546-foxes-continue-fine-run-with-county-cup-success.html I also thought it 1st April when I read tweet but it was posted yesterday teatime.

I searched him yesterday and the results I found seem to show that he's an ex-Hibs youth.

He is probably just being straight and direct as usual. This is undoubtedly mostly down to agents and the club being unable to compete financially. "We are finding it difficult to get one or two over the line and we are finding it difficult to keep who we want to keep" - Well nothing new there then. Again undoubtedly due to agents looking for that bit more and better "offers" coming in from elsewhere. "We are busy trying to bring someone to the club." - Just trying to emphasise that the club are not just sitting on their erseholes but actively seeking out new players. Caley Thistle lost midfielder Nick Ross to Dundee last summer, while their former strikers, Edward Ofere and Billy McKay, now line up for Dundee United, Ryan Christie was sold to Celtic, full-back Graeme Shinnie moved to Aberdeen, while midfielder Marley Watkins joined Barnsley - I think that we are all mightily cheesed off that we lost all of that lot - but we certainly weren't surprised either. They all left for better deals and better careers and significantly more spondoolachs to boot. "We are going to lose Vincent and Danny Williams and it's our job to replace that," - Obviously a fact but definite hint of frustrated sarcasm. Probably moves for lengthier contracts and probably "promises" of regular first team football. "Our budget will not be right up there, we will be in the bottom two in the league. We have to be very shrewd in the way we spend our money." - Actually totally spot on. "I've never heard anything, but what will happen, just from being in the game a long while, is that Miles Storey will probably move somewhere on the back of the season he has had here," said the Caley Thistle boss. And that will not be his choosing. It will probably be the agent trying to cash in. If Miles Storey wanted to come back here for roughly the same deal then we would jump at it." - Again spot on and a shure sign that Storey is offski. The club have to do more and that starts with the manager and his tactics, philosophy and atmosphere he creates - Yes Yogi has been frustrating with his determination to play a style of football. One which may have paid off if we had the calibre of the players that have left or have been injured. BUT I am afraid that money really does talk these days. When you buy from the bargain basement you are taking a chance. Some times it pays off and sometimes it feckin doesn't. And the other problem is that when those players shine they immediately grab the attention of the vultures from other clubs - not always bigger or better clubs but wealthier clubs. Why wait and see with the guy. Go and get him signed up! - Do you really think that an offer has not been tabled - If Miles Storey wanted to come back here for roughly the same deal then we would jump at it."

Apparently we've signed Aiden McKee on a PC. Not much info on him other than he's from Bathgate and previously played for Fauldhouse Foxes. Believe he's around 18 and a striker and was up on trial recently.
