RiG

Given how rank rotten ICT are these days it makes sense that CTO turns into a plane spotters website.

I don't have it in for you it was merely a light hearted joke

The IC aren't going to rock the boat by asking any probing questions especially when they are getting all these "exclusives".

Caley Tennis meets Ketan Makwana.

Not now no but there was a certain Mark Ridgers who was available but the club decided not to bother speaking to put of contract players. When queried about Ridgers specifically the club then lied and said they'd been in discussions with his agent. And it definitely wasn't an issue of rating Ridgers there were other (petty) issues for not renewing his deal from the club.

So much for accommodation costs being an issue for signing players.

There's a section on us around 10:45. More red flags than a Ferrari F1 victory is the phrase used to describe this proposed takeover. Sigh...

These interviews are just a collection of business buzzwords that mean utterly nothing.

Amazing this guy has read all the criticism online and his reply is "trust me, I'm brilliant at liquidating assets"

A read through the new manager thread from last year would suggest that very few fans wanted Ferguson in. He appeared from almost nowhere to take the job with the majority of the support sceptical and worried about his appointment. Equally it would seem most of the fans wanted Dodds gone as we were absolutely honking under him for the first few months of the campaign before he was binned. I would say there wasn't much evidence to suggest he could have steered us away from relegation given how things were going under his leadership. Given what has been said about Fergusons pay packet any concerns about the clubs finances didn't appear to apply to him and certainly don't appear to have been a factor in the recruitment process.

I'll celebrate Ferguson leaving as much as I did winning the Scottish Cup and the old First Division. A previous Chairmans decision not to sack a woefully out of his depth manager cost us our place in the Premiership. The current decision to stick with this guy (and even appoint him in the first place) might cost us our club.

I don't think the Courier have done any digging. That just looks like they've regurgitated a post from his LinkedIn profile.

There are no words. Just absolutely shocked by this news. I knew he had had a bad turn a few weeks back but nothing other than a full recovery was expected. Awful, awful news. Thoughts are very much with his family and friends right now

Excellent. I look forward to Scott Gardiner being turfed out of the ground given his actions have caused so many fans to become annoyed

How can he not understand why the fans are unhappy and refusing to go to games? Is he being deliberately thick or is he actually an idiot?

Fairly sure they did. it's in the West Stand IIRC and should be implemented just as soon as the roof is finished

And we've no idea why. In seasons past our former managers have talked about how they had to let players know they weren't being kept on. Ferguson meanwhile, after our embarrassing relegation, was MIA for weeks before resurfacing again suggesting that he didn't have any (face to face) communication with players who were out of contract. With every passing day I find myself less and less likely to ever want to go to an ICT game again. What has happened to the club that I would previously do anything to support? It's unrecognisable now run by a bunch of charlatans who don't give a f'ck about the club, players or fans.

I see that the DPEA have confirmed, as of yesterday, that all the necessary documentation for the appeal have now been lodged. A raft of additional documents have been uploaded for viewing - https://www.dpea.scotland.gov.uk/CaseDetails.aspx?id=125202

That defending from Savage at the corner is rotten.

On the point of the absent documents it's not that unusual for the DPEA to notice that something is missing and let the various parties know about it. There is another appeal lodged with them that is also on hold because the appeal form hasn't been completed. Of course it doesn't leave you thinking that those involved have it all under control.

Their efforts of course were so much appreciated that most never even got a call from the club regarding their contracts and / or future with the club. This mob really do think the fans are stupid.

Because that's all he's got to work with. There's no money to being anyone in. Unless Gardiner et al clear out ASAP and new investment comes in we're going to end up going with the young lads for this season which is a big ask of them.

As expected
