Even Billy Dodds predicted a draw, times are bad when we're worse than he thought. Prediction: 1 - 1

Agreed, time to draw a line in the sand.

It's pro rata so the longer a player is in the championship the longer their club accrues compensation.

Proof is what is lacking, so both stories have no substance. Maybe this thread should be moved to the rumour mill?

Yes How so? Are you his shadow?

Dare I suggest that they may both be right? Scenario Club talks to agent and offers deal, agent wants a bigger piece of the pie and doesn't let player know about the offer. Club believes that an agent will talk to the player and player hasn't heard from the club. Pure speculation but there's a lot of that about at the moment. No I'm not.

No, as an ICT fan I want Tullochs to construct a new weatherproof stadium with sliding roof and to raid Serie A, Bundesliga, Premiership and La Liga for the best players but it's not going to happen. It is what it is.

Would you say he has improved then? Couldn't get much worse though, could it. Bad managers are judged on results. Why wouldn't he consider it, he hasn'e exactly got a queue waiting for him at the door has he?

Has the club been dishonest? I'd think carefully before jumping to conclusions. During any contract negotiation it is wise to keep the negotiation out of the press. It would be nice to know what's going on but us knowing will have no bearing on the outcome. who said they were ,I said I would question it nothing more, enjoy sleeping on the brightside I would question your ability to make a rational point, but I am not saying you're being irrational. This is getting boring. Back on topic, what was it again? What's happened to the new contracts? Grant - Done deal Ike - offer still on table, I don't think he'll get an improved offer or that he's worth one. Cowie - Waiting until the transfer window to see his options. Black - Still playing poker with the club, but probably will leave IMHO.

:thumb04: :018: ;) Is it safe to assume that everything reported in the press is a true reflection of comments made by either parties during an interview (if an interview even took place)? Unless you are the subject or the interviewer or a witness to said interview then I would suggest a bit of decorum. Here comes Scotty to sort you all out. :015:

Who is Finlay? FinMac? Old jaggy if he's who I think he is.

There was a common misconception that money from the sale of Marius would be available.

This is reminiscent of my schooldays in the playground. Back gates at 4 o'clock ya raj.

It's forecast to be clear and windy overnight at Inverness through to Dundee but sub zero. I can't see the game being called off.

My man i have no control what happens in the heathmount :thumb04:

I believe Scotty is spot on in his analysis of the situation. No one has a better poker face than Grassa.

Beginning as in beginning, middle, end. We are now approaching the middle of the season.

1) Charles Bannerman is not the BBC although he does work for them part time. He is as entitled to voice his own opinion here as we are although in this case he hasn't. 2) This forum is not operated by or controlled by the BBC. As for impartial have you heard of Billy Dodds? 3) What Charles quoted was comments made during an interview with Graeme Bennett and not "Grassa's opinion clearly".

Why should Charles come on here stating Grassa's opinion clearly why not come on here stating Blackies opinion clearly after all the BBC are impartial Out of order. Charles does not represent the BBC on here He was simply quoting what was said during an interview with Grassa. Take a look around you, Black will probably be away at the end of the season or sooner. Charles and Grassa will still be here. I know which version I believe. Rubbish he was quoting a BBC article on here Get to the point caller.

That statement is in effect defamatory. All I have done is to have quoted ICT's Director of Football and his account of the manner in which events unfolded. I think you got caught in the crossfire Charles.

That's a nice pedantry hat you've got on... :thumb04: I thought you'd like it.

?250K til 2010 equates to the same deal but for one year instead of two.
