Sutherland to decide what he wants to do would be a nice start. If he wants to control what goes on at the club, he should be chairman. As chairman, the buck stops with him. It's all too easy for him at the moment with his yes-men in place that he can easily make scape-goats out of. If he genuinely does not want to run the club, he should let the chairman get on with his job and stop sticking his nose in as was done regularly with Savage. A seasoned and well versed DoF in place. Bennet has served us well, but we have to lose the Highland League image. The new DoF would have contacts throughout Britain, and will take full control as well as responsibility for contract negotiations. This caper of announcing targets to the press would stop, and negotiations process will not take 4-6 weeks. Mike Smith to be sacked and a Chief Executive brought in that will control stewards to an acceptable standard. I think I am correct in saying Smith is also in charge of the PR of the club, something that is non-existant at the moment. A CE should be constantly thinking of ways to improve the quality of a product or service. Why has it taken him this long to come up with the <16 ticket idea? Direct Debit flexibility plans should be in place, as should a proper brick and mortar club shop. I know for a fact that more can be done but here we have 3 perfect high-profile examples. We have a few more on the BoD that aren't pulling their weight I'm sure. The next example of something that can be done to the club is something I'm sure many will agree with. Why if we share youth facilities with Ross County have the likes of Liverpool not come in with ridiculous offers for any of our youths? I can't see this being anything to do with luck, and this needs looked at pronto.

My feelings exactly CaleyD. Harry, I honestly feel that things have gotten as bad as this. What would it take for you to decide that things had gotten bad and action was required? Relegation? The threat of insolvency? I appreciate that there are those of us who would back the club 100% of the time and fair play to them for it, I admire them for sticking to their beliefs. The potential ?1M we are allegedly seeking for the sale of Niculae is possibly the least ambitious move the club could make at this moment in time. Not only is it not ambitious, but it smacks of an ego that is prepared to risk SPL status just to prove a point. If this sale does go ahead, I don't believe for a minute that a penny of it will be made available to Brewster. I agree with you on the price of <16 tickets, that is a tremendous move for the club. One which I feel has been far too long in coming. It is nice that it's finally materialised but that doesn't alter the fact that it's taken 4 SPL seasons to get it in place. We are run like a highland league outfit. With the transfer activity so far, I can honestly say we have actually gone backwards. I would be delighted to be proved wrong on this, but I feel we are genuine contenders for relegations this coming season. The thread title asks the question Why haven't we bult on promotion to the SPL and I feel the answer sits at an office in Tullochs. Our majority shareholder is strangeling the club - He has demonstrated he is only too aware of this as well by appointing a puppet for a chairman.

That's exactly what I hope to achieve from this. If enough people decide to vote with their feet, changes will be made. Obviously there are always going to be people who question my support of the club when things like this happen, and there's nothing I can do about that. But it's exactly that kind of attitude that annoys me about those in charge of the club. "So what if a few fans didn't renew, who needs them anyway?" The fact is, ICT needs the fans whereas I don't need to spend in excess of ?500 a year to enjoy my Saturdays. It's not like I'm losing interest like some "Part-time fan". It's not like I'm going to spend my money to go and watch another team play. It's not like I'll come rushing back just with a new signing or simply just the sacking of Brewster. Serious changes have to take place in order for me to come back and it has to start with the BoD. Once that changes for the better, the rest will fall into place.

My actions are the result of a culmination of a number of factors, Brewsters appointment was just one of them. It's not an easy decision to make, but I feel I have no other option available to me like Clacher has said. It is the fans who have the power, and I am sick of seeing my money fueling ego's.

I'm with Clacher on this one, hence I will not be renewing this season. Major changes have to take place at ICT before I will return. And for those who doubt my support of the club, if these changes were to occur when we are in Division 3, then that's when I will buy another Season Ticket. If anything, I am doing this because I support the club.

Actually I criticised him for not tracking back after making his forward runs.

Weather permitting. I'll not be there if it's bucketing down.

I'm sure he turned down an offer from Celtic to go to Preston. I don't think he liked his time in Scotland.

Aye, very good. When you gather your toys back into your pram you might not want to look at any other threads with the word "Released" in them. :014:

Hearts part company with Pinilla Surely if we were looking at Callum Idiot Elliott, then we should be at least offering Pinilla a contract?! Bags of ability, eye for goal, reasonable pace - Come on Brew, pull your finger out!!! :008:

I think his signing will be to give Hastings and Vigurs a bit more competition for a place. Watching Zadi a couple of seasons ago in a friendly against us, he was one of the better players in a poor game. I echo what Chibber said though, I await the good signings... :014:

Are you on commission for it or something?... :024: I'll be there tonight.

Did you not state in the rumour mill that we had more chance of signing Maldini than Dods? Yes it's everyone else with the dillusions of "grandeaur" and need to get a grip. :023:

Agreed, credit where it's due; this looks to be a well conducted transfer. :010: Did I just compliment the club?...

I for one, hope it's not Zadi.... Yet. I'd far rather secure the services of a proven quality centre back first. Zadi should slot in nicely at left back, I feel Hastings isn't cutting the mustard any more with no one seriously challenging for his place on the park.

He must have heard that the fans wouldn't mind signing him then... :014:

I think it was due to Culloden Academy Highland Games that folk didn't show.

I agree with CaleyD here, it definitely sounds like your temporary data is being cleared. I have seen this before but that was in a Client/Server environment where the user was logging in with a temporary profile and as such, when they logged off, the temporary profile deletes itself.

Myself, Noddy, a guy called Alan and a guy that wears a Rangers goalie top (not sure what his name is). Noone else turned up at all.

It helps if folk show up :007:

I will be there tonight. I fully expect to build on my new found form.... Even if that form was against 12 yr-olds... :023:

He'd be a good signing IMO. Eye for goal, tall enough to have the ball lumped up to him, and he's got a bit of pace about him. If Brew signs him, I take back everything I've said about him.

On the topic of testing speeds, I find this site to provide the most accurate results: TS Tools Speed Test As you can see, 3 options there for thorough testing of your line :003:

During your first 7-10 days of service your speed will fluctuate wildly. It's just the guys at the exchange end trying to get the balance right in your area. If your hitting that speed, chances are your neighbour will be pulling his/her hair out at how slow theirs is. The most I hit was 6MBps, then it went as low as 1.2MBps and settled on 4.4MBps.

What Smee said really. Once it's all configured via the Ethernet cable, you shouldn't ever need to connect to it like that again, unless you do a factory reset.
