I would hope that the new majority shareholders will have done at least a little research on the current state of the club and be very keen to mend bridges between the club and its fans? Whilst the trust might not be perfect its membership has swelled significantly in recent weeks for obvious reasons. What other body is at all representative of the fans?

Isn't this statement a bit premature? According to the club statement, they've only accepted an offer thus far. The legal deal is yet to be concluded. It also mentions 'new owners', but won't they be 'majority shareholders'?

Because things are now so vile off the park that it's the only way I feel I can make my own small protest. It's no longer the club that I first followed. Its players, fans, and employees are now treated with utter contempt by those in charge. That said, I will certainly not discourage nor criticise anyone that does choose to attend home games.

It's a car crash interview and a big two fingers to the fans! Unbelievable what this club has become!

"It won’t affect my approach – I play a possession, passing game. We will continue with that."

announces his retirement https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cz5r1p8ne8no Thanks for the memories Jonny! Especially this tap in

I wish he had walked! I'll back the team but I can't back a manager that got us relegated, playing some of the most boring football I've ever had to endure, and paid handsomely for it! What a waste of money!

On a tangent here, but I think the greatest ever moment from an Inverness keeper was the cup game here against killie when the ball quite clearly crossed the line but jim Calder nonchalantly carried on playing and goal wasn't given

Would there even have been an agreement, if he was out of contract and not offered a new one? Or is this simply more deception from the club?

Haven't renewed yet. Still so many unaswered questions, that the club are obviously aware of, yet choose not to respond. I can't think of any situation like this in the past where a club has shown such contempt for its own fans? The only time it communicates with us is when it wants something from us i.e. our money, or lobbying of local councillors! Its treatment of its own players has been disgusting, and certainly won't have helped to attract players in coming to the club! TBH I feel there are more cons than pros in continuing to support the club. I've been made to feel this way all because of the club's actions/inactions!! The heart has been ripped out of ICT by those in control of it!

Noted that the club are 'delighted' again ! https://ictfc.com/six-players-sign-at-ict/

Nepotism.

I should think it would be up to the manager to decide who he wants to keep, and I expect he should be speaking to them face to face instead of sending an email! Maybe Ferguson has been replaced with an AI manager, in Gardiner's last 'big idea' to save the club!!

Absolutely! If the club survives then there simply must be fan representation on any new board, otherwise nothing changes and the secret society continues!

If he has any dignity, he will. What a complete waste of money he's turned out to be. Our performances in the playoffs should've been enough for him to walk!

There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply !

What an informative statement! All our questions have been answered in full!

I actually think the move has been dreamt up by Gardiner because he knows how so deeply unpopular he is in Inverness now, that moving the football operations to Kelty means he no longer has to be present in Inverness and run the gauntlet of the coming into contact with the locals! I wouldn't be surprised if he's manipulated the figures to show the board a much greater saving than will actually be achieved in order to push the deal through. It's a win win for him!

Couple of things: It seems obvious now that the chairman is only here to try and recoup most of the £1m+ funds he's put in to the club. There is only one asset left to strip and that's the lease of the land the stadium sits on. Is, ultimately, putting the lease up for sale the last action of a man who says he wants the best for the club? The club's board have, literally, moved the goalposts on giving the Supporters Trust a seat on said board, making it nigh on impossible now. If they really have the interests of the club at heart, why would they do this? They are behaving like it's a private members club, like a secret society! ICT is not theirs, it belongs to the community - its fans!

I could be totally wrong but I think they have 3 months from the date on the refusal notice, and it was dated 11th April, so that would give them until 11th July to get their appeal in?

The Club is delighted to announce that our esteemed CEO is in the process of implementing his latest innovative business proposal for ICT. ICTFC considers itself very fortunate to have an individual of Scot's talent at the helm and is, again, in awe of his imagination at dreaming up these excellent business ventures. We simply have no clue where he gets these ideas from! With our imminent moving of football operations to Kelty, this leaves the stadium of little use to the club except on 'home' match days. Therefore, and without delay, the bulldozers will be moving in to clear the site in readiness for constructing the brand new CLUB HOTEL. It will be called the Gardiner Scot Hotel (very) Ltd. and be the latest addition to this exciting new hotel brand, consisting of . . . . ehm just this one. Not only will the hotel be open for business to the tourist trade, it will also accommodate our own players on 'home' matchdays! The good news is that this could save the club up to £90 per player per night!!!! Strict security measures will be in place to guard the players privacy and ensure they do not come into any contact with the general public of Inverness. We can also exclusively reveal that our CEO has been in lengthy dialogue with Rangers FC and struck a deal that will see them having full use of the hotel on their visits north to play our (formerly local) rivals Ross County. Scot is staunchly proud of striking this deal, and when it concluded he loudly proclaimed "I Am The Person!!" and punched the air! Of course we remain slightly committed to playing some of our matches in Inverness, and these will now take place at the Bught Stadium - depending on its availability! We trust our valued supporters will be overjoyed with this news. Assuring you of our full attention at all times, ICTFC.

Can't be bothered with politicians tbh. They're all only in it for themselves!

I hear you, but my hope is that the club might be forced into action given the strength of feeling of its fans. The ceo has already contributed to a decline in the club’s revenue, through creating ill will towards the club amongst the local business community, and his latest proposal is likely to exacerbate that!

Not a decision I've taken lightly, having had a season ticket for 20+ years. I'm embarrassed at the way the club is being run and the only way I feel I can protest is by not renewing my tickets. I'll be back when the ceo and management are away.
