  1. Inverness Caledonian Thistle have joined clubs interested in signing Blair Yule, the 25-year-old midfielder who is out of contract with Cove Rangers, following interest from Dundee United, Arbroath and Peterhead
  2. Current odds for our managers position Paul Sheerin 2-1 Paul Hartley 4-1 Terry Butcher 7-1 Maurice Malpas 7-1 Danny Lennon 10-1 Darren Dods 10-1 Barry Ferguson 16-1 Mark Macghee 16-1 Steven Pressley 16-1 Billy Davies 16-1 John Hughes 16-1 Jim Weir 16-1 Gus MacPherson 16-1 Jimmy Calderwood 16-1 Barry Robson 16-1
  3. I did say i would prefer a new manager but after way Butcher left us i would have John Robertson instead any day of the week.
  4. I think the majority are in agreement that a new manager is needed for next season. Given where we find ourselves this season and just how poor we have been i think the club has no choice but to look for a new manager for next season. Some fans are saying Hartley, A few are saying bring back Butcher but the big question is, Who would give us the best chance of going straight back up in our first season. I would like to see a new manager but out of all our former managers i would not be against John Robertson making a return. I thought we were pretty decent under him. So who is the one that would give us best chance of promotion next season ?
  5. The one thing i find most frustrating this season especially of late is when you listen to other spl managers, Commentators and various other media all are saying we are underachieving. Our team in my opinion without a doubt has been in slow decline for a few seasons now. We have lost some real quality players over the last few seasons. I accept that a club of our size is going to struggle to keep quality players when i say that i mean spl quality players. However when you look at the current team there is still a lot of good players that should have been able to put in far better performances over the season than they have done. Management is where we have been let down this season. Some of the performances that i have watched this season is beyond dire. I said a few times this season you could put Lionel Messi in this team and he would struggle to get a goal. We are a small club that has done some remarkable things over its history. There are many bigger clubs with bigger budgets than ours that have achieved less. Now the Championship is in front of us next season. I know we are not relegated yet but i cant see any hope of us staying up. One of the biggest challenges now lies ahead of us. I think we need to make a big promotion push next season and try and get straight back up. In order to do that we need a new person at the helm to steady the ship and in time get it to make smooth headway. We also need to be very shrewd in the transfer market especially with loans. If we could get some quality loans and make a signing or 2 along the way i think we have a chance of getting of getting back at the first attempt.
  6. There is no way Richie will be in charge next season. If he was i would dread to see the amount of season tickets sales that would be lost.
  7. I agree but sadly i cant see us being able to catch them even if they do
  8. I have heard from a lot of people that they will not be renewing their season ticket next season if things don,t change. With relegation looking nailed on and the prospect of losing season tickets the club could be hitting a serious reduction in funds. Worrying times ahead i fear especially if we don,t get someone with a proven managerial record at the helm.
  9. Get someone to take over the management of the team until the end of the season and re-evaluate at the end of the season. Richie has had his chance but for some reason its has not worked with his record simply abysmal. He needs to go now for the clubs sake and for his own also. I just cant see any logical reason to carry on when it could not be any clearer that it is just not working. A fresh face for last 5 games even if its from someone within the club. It might just give us that spark that has just not been there for such a long time.
  10. The damage is done but we need change to get us prepared for next season. I am sorry but i have no faith at all if Richie is still in charge next season.
  11. The gap between us and everyone else is getting bigger and bigger now with every week that passes. I just cant see us having any chance now. We just dont know how to win anymore. Change is needed
  12. Lets say the Board resign which i cant see happening does anyone know who might be interested in taking over our club ? The state this football club is in funds are going to be critical in order to rebuild. When you look at the current first team players there is not many i would keep for our push for promotion next season. Hate to say it but this club needs a complete overhaul from top to bottom.
  13. Seriously grim, Its that bad that bringing back Brewster would be better even with his record second time around. We need to take action now. Manager History Manager Start Date - End Date Record Richie Foran 30 May 2016 - Present Won: 5, Drawn: 12, Lost: 17 John Hughes 04 Dec 2013 - 20 May 2016 Won: 47, Drawn: 33, Lost: 40 Terry Butcher 27 Jan 2009 - 11 Nov 2013 Won: 86, Drawn: 57, Lost: 65 Craig Brewster 27 Aug 2007 - 19 Jan 2009 Won: 22, Drawn: 7, Lost: 35 Charlie Christie 13 Jan 2006 - 26 Aug 2007 Won: 24, Drawn: 18, Lost: 25 Craig Brewster 25 Nov 2004 - 13 Jan 2006 Won: 17, Drawn: 18, Lost: 15 John Robertson 26 Dec 2002 - 03 Nov 2004 Won: 44, Drawn: 13, Lost: 27 Steve Paterson 01 Aug 1995 - 01 Dec 2002 Won: 147, Drawn: 92, Lost: 90
  14. The Board need to take action and at the very least make a club statement on Monday. The fans are the most important piece of any football club and i think they now more than ever deserve answers. The fans have been very patient with Richie but it is very clear it has not worked and he needs to go. If this was a bigger club the pressure from fans would have had Richie gone a long time ago. We need an experienced manager in until the end of the season just to give us a glimmer of hope and i think we all deserve that. Yes the board made a mistake by giving Richie such a long contract but if Richie does not walk the board themselves should dig deep to show they have this club and its future as no.1 priority.
  15. He has had his chance and sadly it has been a complete failure. No sign of a win and we need to win a few now with the position we are in. No point in sticking with Richie as i have no confidence in him being able to get us back up next season in fact i fear we could end up in St Mirrens position. No way i am going to renew my season ticket with the football that has been on show this season. The board have to act now and sorry Richie I cant see you being in the Inverness dugout again well not in a managers role.
  16. 100% doomed unless action is taken now. No fight, No urgency, No Flair, utter rubbish. Richie to go or step down as manager. Try and get someone in for last 6 games to try and get some drive back. Dont even know who could come in for short term only name thats comes to my mind is Alex Neil but even he would probably run a mile
  17. FON WILLIAMS LAING WARREN MCCART RAVEN TANSEY MCNAUGHTON DRAPER MULRANEY MACKAY COLE 433 FOR ME. 3 DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS WITH 3 PLAYERS RIGHT UP TOP
  18. For the first time in a very long time we played some good football, Looked like we could score, Attacked in numbers. Lots of positives to take from Yesterday. I hope we keep 2 up top at least for the rest of the season and take the game to whoever we are playing. The one thing i can see us lacking now is a big strong tall central defender. Richie was saying there is still money available for players so i hope he goes on the hunt for a commanding defender who is a free agent
  19. I would have no problem keeping Richie in the current position we find ourselves in if we were dominating games, Getting hit on the counter etc but we are playing the worst football i think i have ever seen us play. I from memory actually believe we are a good bit worse now than when Brewster was sacked. There is just nothing absolutely nothing that i can see positive in the way were are playing now. Sorry Richie great loyal servant to the club but this morning you should without a doubt walk from your position as manager. Give the club a chance to survive in the SPL where it belongs
  20. In our position now either urgent action is needed or this season can just be written off with relegation
  21. Woeful is my sum up of this game. I went to the game full of optimism that we would see ICT having a right go at Partick oh how wrong i was. No where near enough attacking. We dont seem to be able to attack as a unit. Their is never an out ball up front and most of the time just no one up there well 1 striker. We could play for the rest of the year on today's performance and not score. We need to start attacking and take the game to teams. Also attack with pace as currently a snail would attack quicker. I just hope we get stuck in against Hamilton and take the game to them from the off and just keep attacking.
  22. He has but i wonder why he was months without a club before he joined them
  23. Dont know if i like this quote from wikipedia, After months without a club, Straith joined Norwegian side Fredrikstad in January 2015.[8]
  24. Celtic's progress to the group stage of the Champions League has earned each of their Premiership rivals a bumper bonus of £200,000.
  25. Farid El Alagui is having a trial stint at Dunfermline after the former Hibs and Falkirk striker failed to win a move to Inverness Caledonian Thistle. (Herald)
