SMEE

My bestie just invested in a season ticket, after being a stay away, for years (under that notorious Shitshow of a CEO and his cohorts). I myself, am planning making a return to games too (not been since that shitshow of a CEO and his Cohorts, got involved). Im carer for my son and i only get about 3 days to myself each month, but im hopeful of getting along to some games, here and there. I think there will be a lot more support for ICT this season. Time to repair the damage done, by the aforementioned leadership, that nearly sunk the club forever.

How many of that remaining 5% of shareholders are stil alive? Im pretty sure my Dad had at least a share in ICT.....but he passed away 9 years ago.

Well done to Palace. I was cheering them on yesterday. Like others on here, i have a bit of a soft spot for Palace. Proper footie team they are, with proper ground and fans. I enjoy watching them. Reason why i like em is, my BELOVED and much missed Caley (the REAL Caley) used to have a change strip in the mid to late 70s which was similar to Crystal Palace's top.

Turned out to be an uncannily accurate prediction

Well Done to ICTFC. This seasons main on field goal, apart from Surviving Admin, is achieved.

ICT are officially staying up. Now to get out of Administration and rebuild in the summer

Make it 3-1

Dumbarton just gone 2 -1 up. in 77th minute

Sad to hear this. Thoughts are with all Wayne's loved ones. Rest easy Wayne

Ayyyyyyyye. I have a gut feeling that there is a lot of shady stuff gone down in the last while.......and a certain someone (at least one person) may well end up in front of the courts. Just a feeling i have

Fergusson MUST STAY!!

Part of me thinks that joker Ketan, is doing this, so he can chat up birds in nightclubs, down south, bragging about trying to buy a football club, then showing them the articles about ICT on his phone. It really wouldnt surprise me. Thats the type of guy he strikes me as

Ps, ICT really need Fergusson to do the right thing and walk away. Not sure he will do that. And that, leves a very hefty financial burden on the club

This latest twist offer much hope. Lets hope it provides the club with a much needed Bounce. If nothing else, now that Gardiner has finally gone, the gate reciepts should be in a healthier state. ICT fans gone through a load of sh1t this past while. Hoepfully now, the future is much rosier

Were the Board just desperate to offload the ICTproblem, onto some gullible fantasist? Again, I felt sure, that those who make the board at any football club, usually have a sound mind for making good business decisions. Would any of those muppets on the ICT board, run their businesses in such a shoddy manner?

Red flags were waving, from the moment i read the brief Facebook statement from ICT, all them weeks ago.

Al be thinking of IHE this afternoon. One of the originals from the CTO websites, going back decades. PS, once they find their feet, ICTFC are going back to The Championship next season. You heard it here first

I really fear for the future of ICTFC. I cant believe the amount of disastereous decisions this Board have been responsible for. This has been years in the making. These people are supposed to have finely tuned minds, to make sound business decisions. Would they have ran their businesses in such a shoddy manner? I could have ran the club better. Also, while im at it, how many of the board actually have a long held links to ICTFC? Are they actually supporters of the club? Im thinking they are on the baord for the opportunities it creates for themselves! I really fear that in not too distant future, the Caledonian Stadium could be gone and replaced with a lucrative development....and that will be goal achieved!!

Hows about getting him IN....as in signed up to play. Cant be any worse that whats playing

The sharks are have smelt blood!!

Surely you are on the wind up? If true, the club are screwed, on MANY levels!

STATEMENT FROM ICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS: The Board of Directors of Inverness Caledonian Thistle Football Club can confirm that they have accepted an offer for a majority shareholding in the club. The club have been involved in intensive discussions with Seventy7 Ventures, a UK-based sports, entertainment and leisure group and are confident their investment will secure the future of the club. Panos Thomas, spokesperson for the Board of Directors, said: “We have received a formal offer to acquire a major shareholding and voting rights of the company and this has been unanimously accepted by the Board." "Ketan Makwana, the Executive Chairman of Seventy7 Ventures has been a most dynamic suitor for the club in the past few weeks and following the most recent meeting with him in Inverness when he outlined his vision and passion for what the club could become, it was clear those plans and the financial backing of Seventy7 Ventures will give ICTFC the best opportunity to flourish again. This is very good news for the club as we strive to establish a more sustainable business and build a team that will in the first instance, return us to the SPFL Championship.” Ketan Makwana, Executive Chairman of Seventy7 Ventures, said: "We at Seventy7 are delighted to have achieved this result, we want to thank the Board, Chief Executive and former Chairman for their continuous workability and open mindedness to see our vision of the future for the Football Club and the community of Inverness. We are relishing the opportunity to drive sustainability and growth in the Club and lead them to future prosperity." More information will be released in the coming days and weeks and again on the legal completion of the deal.

Very saddened and shocked to read this news. I recall IHE from the early days of being on this forum (under its many guises). One of the originals. Rest easy fella. Thats two huge fans of the club, gone within a few days of each other. BOTH were great Caley fans too, back in the Highland League days. Shine High and Shine bright Mark and Johndo

There is more exciting football on show in the above clip, that what i saw on show at the whole of Euro 2024. Could you imagine teams now trying to deal with attack minded players rushing at them, at pace. Shows how much the game has deteriorated over the years

ICT dont have the cash to pay off Dodds. Could be another Foran situation unfolding (Board acts after the damage has been done ...ie relegation)
