If I recall most weren't asking for Morrison to go. Gardiner certainly and he hasn't gone, he's still there. I have asked the club how long his notice is and told that it's confidential . Kelty too once it was announced 3 weeks ago has gone yeah, but they deserve absolutely no credit for that as it was an absolutely ludicrous idea that if like any normal club had even a modicum of communication with their fans would know. Ferguson should walk for his abject failure and having the brass neck of being paid £240,000 in the Championship but then why should he when the custodians of our apparently skint club have offered that disgusting amount. I won't be giving a penny until Gardiner is GONE and there are assurances that our accounts are in order and submitted. The fact that my season ticket is more expensive this year after relegation plus after their announcement which shows no accountability nor apology has not softened my view. 15 year season ticket holder and I'm not rich enough to throw way £400 on a whim and have plenty things I could do on a Saturday afternoon between my coaching and family duties.

We did have a lot of very promising youngsters till they got farmed out .Hopefully work is being done to get them on board .Highland boys with the club in their hearts .We can rise from this carnage .

What you say is true but it's not the whole story. Directors putting money in previously have done so to cover losses they were responsible for/willing to cover. They knew they weren't getting it back and it never put to club at risk financially. Other things did in earlier years such as Stadium costs, but people stepped in to remove that risk. Whatever are thoughts on any of them protecting the club was always the priority. Ross Morrison was different insofar as he was putting money in expecting (needing?) to get it back. He is the first Director to put a charge in place to cover loans given. It is those securities which are likely to be the biggest barrier to investment at the moment. If he didn't have the money to burn and nobody else was going to cover losses then he should have been cutting costs and ensuring existing income streams were secure in order to get the club into a financially stable position. Everyone knows what happened instead and it doesn't need going over again. Looking at accounts the club had next to no debt when he took the reins. Now we have at least £300k of non-director debt and at least £1.5 million of secured debt.

I am never that bothered about the kit but after all that has been going on just want to see a full team playing in it.

To be announced on Monday that the first 15 people to buy a season ticket are in the squad for 2024/25.

What has NOT been said……. Is the we HAVE new investors, we HAVE a team in place and we HAVE current / new manager in place to move forward. What is it our season ticket money is paying for. People are right to be cautious given the current and ongoing shambles !!!!!!

I just hope we are not being too willing to snatch onto what seems like good news, understandable after the series of disasters we've just suffered. The story about potential investors isn't new - we've heard this one before. The statement seems to be very cautiously worded, and still we're not clear about whether administration is happening or not. It says a few things but I'm a little concerned about what it doesn't say. Are they playing the Supporters' Trust?? Let's be optimistic. But cautious in our optimism!

The statement from the club today may not contain all we would like to hear and it may have the emphasis all wrong, but it brings much better news than we feared. The most positive part of the statement is the reference to "hugely positive discussions currently ongoing with a number of potential new investors". This suggests there are at least 2, and probably more, people ready and willing to put sufficient money into the club to save it from administration and that the discussions are pretty advanced. It really is important to acknowledge that these kind of negotiations are usually very difficult. Those willing to invest will not be wanting to throw their money into a bottomless pit. They will want to put conditions on their investment such as who is on the Board of Directors and who isn't; what the football model should be; what the management structure should be; how the finances are structured; what the relationship with supporters bodies should be etc. Crucially, they will want to know how much, if any, of the loans made to the club by the former chairman and other directors they expect to get back. Different potential investors and the current Board will have different views on these topics and somehow, they need to reach a consensus which they are all happy enough with before new investors will commit. I don't think the statement would have been released with such positive wording unless they were agreed in principle about the way forward. It is encouraging that the Supporters Trust have been in dialogue with the club during this time. However, just like any other party involved in negotiations, they need to respect the positions of others and be prepared to compromise. Fans wanted the Kelty scheme scrapped: it has been scrapped. Fans wanted the Chairman gone; he's gone. Fans wanted the CEO out: he's resigned and if not quite gone, he's going. It is therefore perfectly reasonable that the club and potential investors will expect the Trust to give them something back. That something is what the Trust has put in their statement. Yes the message is different from that made after the meeting in the Caley Club, but so it should be! The situation is radically changed from then, and it has changed because people were rallying round the Trust to give a united message. That message has been listened to and acted upon. I think the Trust have been doing a brilliant job in what is probably the most difficult period in the club's history. The potential investors may be willing to inject money into the club, but they probably don't have £500k sitting in a bank account. They will need to liquidate some assets to release lump sums or perhaps they are only able to inject money in installments. Meanwhile, bills have to be paid and staff need to be paid. Clearly, sales of season tickets and merchandise will help the cash flow. I fully understand the reticence many fans have in parting with money now. We all have good reason not to trust the club and for some, the purchase of a season ticket is a much bigger commitment than for others. Personally, I think it will be strategically good for some people to respond positively to the call to buy tickets and for others to hold back. It will give the club the message that the fans are acknowledging the progress being made but that further evidence of progress needs to be demonstrated. The message to the club will be that the fans are giving you some money but you will get more money when more assurances are given that the club's future is secure. The message to the fans effectively remains the same - it is a personal choice.

Evidence of that being true? Presumably the trust know more than they are able to divulge. That said their first loyalty should be to the trust membership. This whole "just trust us" ( no pun intended) vibe is wearing thin I'll be keeping my hard earned cash for now till we are provided with actual detail of any restructuting. Over to you ICTFC & Supporters trust. Well for me at last some light at the end of the tunnel . As a support we have all demanded change and it’s been granted . Gardiner will be gone and it’s time for us all to get behind the club on the next stage of our history . For those who say little has been said in the statement I’d argue the opposite . Youth and local players to be given the chance to show they are good enough . More importantly the news of possible new investment is massive and it’s understandable that the club until this is finalised cannot reveal details . For me some of the doom and gloom merchants on this forum will never be happy !!! The supporters trust have been in dialogue with the club and been given assurances . I will be renewing my season ticket on Monday . Finally for the many in Inverness who were revelling in our demise I say long live ICT . Reading between the lines, I agree that it does largely sound promising; particularly the part stating that we’ve got what we wanted in that we’ll be fielding many local players next season ( even if this is financially motivated rather than a desire to connect with area). This notwithstanding, the phrase “Following the continued restructuring of the club, including a revised football model…” evokes an element of dread in me due to the last revised model they unilaterally decided upon.

I don't expect we'll see any more than 2 or 3 signings (mostly loans) beyond what we have. The rest will be academy players. I'm ok with that.

You're never going to satisfy everyone's tastes when it comes to football shirts. For me it's kind of ok but why did they have to stand so close to the printer when the toner cartridge exploded? I've not bought a shirt in years (seasons) as I prefer the leisure / trainer wear in my old age. Still far too expensive for my pension (£50 -£53 for an adult shirt) so I might buy a biro when I'm next in the shop.

I'd like to see Austin Samuels offered a deal. He's been bombed out of a relegated Championship team, so maybe open to a substantial wage drop. But he should have played. We caught a glimpse of something in the final half of the final game. I think he'd tear up League One.

There were many calls for Morrison to go mainly because he employed , defended and trusted Gardiner.Gardiner will go and the details of his contract will be confidential as would any contract covered by the notorious GDPR regulations. Nobody was giving the board credit for cancelling Kelty,.the credit goes to the pressure put on the board by the Trust , the fans and forums like this. I agree if Ferguson had any kind of morality he would be gone and his utter absence in all of this makes me wonder about what his future is. Someone earlier put forward that a drip feed of season ticket money might not be a bad thing to keep the board on their toes. I hope we are both satisfied sooner rather than later. When and how you spend your money is entirely up to you .

So Morrison has gone, Gardiner is going and Kelty is dead in the water. If I remember correctly those were the three main demands from the supporters in this forum and also the wider community. To get Ferguson out at this moment in time will cost a fortune that we just don’t have currently. I too am frustrated that we don’t have all the information we could have but I also remember being totally misled by Gardiner and his pals when they announced plans and cash windfalls as facts long before they were signed and sealed, so if the board aren’t giving much away just now maybe just maybe they are waiting until the deals are done and signed and written in stone before they announce what’s happening . If we don’t buy our season tickets and merchandise then we all know what will happen. I’d rather lose money trying to keep the club alive than have the money in the bank and sod all to do on a Saturday afternoon. Doubt I’ll make many friends with this but it’s way I see it.

Scott Gardiner will be announced in a new role once all the Season tickets have been purchased,I have no trust in the board yet only when he's gone and out the door for good will I be convinced.

I've kept relatively silent (publicly) on this whole thing, but I sent the following email to the Supporters Trust earlier. Ultimately it is a decision for each individual to make on whether to buy season tickets and merchandise, but they should be FULLY informed on what that means and the risks involved. Unless the supporters' trust has had sight of and verified that a deal is in place (and if they do, tell us), then it's irresponsible for them to be encouraging people to make a purchase. They wouldn't support a boycott for fear of the legal implications, but seem happy enough to put a call out to buy and have fans risk their money?

I am prepared to take on board the recommendation of the Supporters Trust to renew my season ticket and will do so shortly. Like everybody on this forum I was fearful for the future of the club but I really hope the new investment is secured and the club can reset and reconnect with the fans and local community.

There is no detail in any of this. They are expecting us to blindly invest in the club with no evidence things have improved financially and when change in the boardroom is slow at best. If you respectfully ask us to support the club then be respectful to us and inform us what we are investing in. If it's a short term loan from a pal of Morrison then no thanks. We have been left to speculate for well over a week about the clubs future but this does nothing to clarify the matter and neither does the ST statement. To be given assurances from the club board has meant absolutely nothing in the past, why would it mean something now?

I think it’s ok and I quite like the black sleeves. I’m the same as Gringo though, not a fan of a fat old bloke in a footie shirt so I’ll be sticking to the casual leisure wear - talking about myself here, not that I’m suggesting Gringo is of course…

I’d like to know how they got a player for the strip photo . Did someone actually speak to a player ? Wow that must have been hard .

I would buy this but not until Duncan Ferguson is gone. Don’t want my money paying his big wages. one more step the club as to take

I’m pretty sure Remi Savage is signed for next season as, with Danny Devine triggering his extension, that took us to 9 players. We can play 5 2 2 (or 3 4 2) and put a jumper between the sticks!

Personally I would like to know who are going to be wearing the feckin strips. Unfortunately this has become an emergency fund raising exercise and another plea to the fans to cash out and save the club. I would pay the same for a wee photo showing Gardiner finally leaving the stadium.

I see Danny is now one of our fringe players.

Well at least we know 2 of our squad for next season.

Given the need to save money it makes sense to have a kit made up of left over bits.

I think somethings gone awry with the first post in this thread. It looks like several different posts from different posters have somehow got merged so it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

Good to see you back here CaleyD, your contributions have been missed (by me anyway - some others might not agree )

Trigger on ST did need to be pulled, as did kit, and something is better than nothing, but why is there still no improvement in comms? Maybe it's splitting hairs, guilty of doom and gloom, and missing the big picture, but it does need to be better than it currently is: They gave a very fond bon voyage to Ross -fair enough - but nothing about Cammy, Cameron, Mark, Aaron, Wallace...that's wild! "...as a Board [and as a club], we now respectfully ask the supporters to..." The current board have zero credibility after Aaron! "The Board of Directors at ICT would like to thank the fans for their patience at this difficult time" - 'patience'? Who has been patient? Tin-eared. "Scot is now serving his notice and will be continuing to help the Club get through this difficult period". Eh? we hope the Caley Jags fans can also rise to the occasion when we need you the most overlook the omni-shambles in the last six months, and our inability to do even the most basic tasks such as accounting, speaking to the players, or duty of care... [suggested edit] The Supporters Trust must have had a good reason to have backed the statement, but can they use their influence to improve the comms?

Kelty topic has been resolved, can you post season ticket comments on season ticket topic please. (easy for you to say ) Other relevant comments can still go on here about ongoing issues, Gardiner, Morrison etc... Cheers

The fact they're open to access more info is a brilliant development. Shows there's even further between the board and the Supporters Trust, and have possibly managed to get themselves onto the board, but just don't want to speak out of turn

I don't think Ross County are a fair comparison for ST prices considering that Roy just pumps money into the club they can afford to have cheaper season tickets.

I can cope with that Charles but it's so unfair that adults and ocer65s in main stand get a big reduction on last year compared to north stand ? I'm very very disappointed at the further rolling back of the young adult category too. So short sighted

Don't know about the stadium. But the grass has been cut at Fort George, so looks like they're gearing up for pre-season. Just need some players now.

The Inverness Cup Final against Clach?

Moan moan moan moan moan Shirt isn’t the greatest but who really cares. Over the years it’s always been hit and miss. It’s certainly not the worst we’ve had and there’s more red and black than ever. I’ll be buying one anyway, the away kit stays the same doesn’t it?

Its alright, I guess. Sleeves need to be blue, then its a stunner.

Anyway, forget the football, we are a cricket nation now!

We've always bought our season tickets early at the reduced rate, but at present I feel that for the sake of £15, I would rather wait until there are a few more certainties.

Good luck to Cameron I hope he does well.

At least we are receiving a payment, albeit undisclosed. Presumably whatever the Development Fee is worth.

Following the announcement by the club that season tickets are now on sale, the Supporters Trust Board have issued this statement, which has been shared with our members: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/post/season-tickets The Trust Board will continue to work on behalf of our members and the wider fan base, and we would welcome further members. Anyone joining now will have their membership apply until the end of July 2025. You can join using this link: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/join-us Many of you who supported our Stronger Together initiative indicated (understandably) that you would not contribute as long as the CEO was at the club. Now that the club has publicly confirmed that they have accepted his resignation, you can use the link below to contribute to this initiative, either through a subscription or by making a donation. As confirmed before, the Trust Board will only use this to purchase shares in the club when it is has sought and received commitments from the club Board on behalf of the Trust's members: https://www.ictsupporterstrust.org/stronger-together

At this moment in time, the Supporters Trust are looking at it as a positive release by the club. This is the crux of their statement. The Supporters Trust board has been in dialogue with the club and has been provided assurances that the ongoing financial viability of the club and its senior management changes will soon be concluded. The first competitive game of the season takes place in just four weeks’ time, therefore with these assurances from the ICTFC board of directors, we feel it is time to move forward. We are therefore asking all Inverness Caledonian Thistle supporters to reunite behind the club, renew season tickets and purchase club merchandise. Only by doing that can the club we love continue in the short term, while new investment is completed. Our request for a democratically elected representative of the Supporters Trust board to join the club board still stands and we hope that this will now be seriously considered. We look forward to receiving updates on the club’s financial situation, the playing and coaching staff, and the youth academy.

Ultimately, it is down to the SFA. They are the ones who can add it to the compliance rule book.

Take a bucket and get a collection going to save our souls.

indeed ... Will always remember @The Mantis getting me in trouble with Stevie Hislop for something he said on CTO about his running style.

More than the required £5k raised by Shane. Some big names in amongst those making donations. I wonder if our club is now suitably embarrassed enough? It makes me pig sick and the longer this goes on the more what's left of our reputation lies in tatters. At this rate it will take more than a few years, decades in fact, to repair links with fans and the community. Never in my life, 30 years of professional working life, have I seen such total mismanagement within an organisation. Gardiner needs to leave the club now!

Lots of talk of being embarrassed at being an #ICTFC fan on other threads but it is things like this that still make me proud to be one. We rose as a COMMUNITY of fans, current and former team-mates, club staff (past and present), families of all of the above, and, it has to be said, also several football journalists to donate to this cause initiated by a former team-mate who himself went through injury hell and didn't get the support he needed and should have received from the club. £7K in less than 24 hours is great. Aaron will get his op and whether or not he plays football again, he should at least be able to play with his kids, which the article said he couldn't even do right now. That's the least he should expect after almost a decade and a half of loyal service. Look at the list of names in there and you will see many folks whose names you recognise but you may also notice - unless donating anonymously - the glaring lack of any names you might hope had developed a conscience and personally donated to the cause even if the club couldn't or wouldn't. I AM proud to be an ICT supporter because it means i can stand with and mingle with people like our supporters and others in our team's COMMUNITY. The ineptitude, inefficiency and seemingly utter disregard for our club from those who should be speaking now will not deter me from that. THEY are not the club. WE are the club, whether we have been here for 30 minutes or 30 years.
