the whole story is a fecking joke If Crawford is the standard of player that Brew is looking at then we may as well start prepairing for first division football now and for him to dump us for East Fife?? come on!!!!!! :008:

agreed, Duffy was not the answer. I'm still not convinced that Brew is but at least he has plenty to prove.. Brew must realise that after the disaster at United this is his last chance at SPL level, if he screws up now (for our sake I hope he doesn't) then there wont be many teams that would take a punt on him.

fair play to the lad for agreeing to do it although it might be daunting for one youth player to come into the squad I'm quite encouraged that there is a group of players coming through at the same time

why a loan signing? are we going to go through the transfer window without spending any real money?? I'm sure the board are delighted that Brew is keeping his spending to the minimum he's yet to sign a player of any real quality IMO

I'm trying to look on the positives I'm hoping Killie are one of the teams we can finish ahead of this season.. Gibson, Ford, Bryson & Fernandez (although wages & injuries I don't think he'd be worth the hassle)

who Kilmarnock??? Jeffries who stated just after christmas that Killie "had nothing to play for anymore" Killie's squad is weak, they're one of the few teams in the SPL that I'd struggle to find anyone that would improve our first team stadium, fair enough but it is filled with OF supporters that can't afford season tickets for their preferred teams good pies though!

If there is even a slight chance we can get him I hope Brew is pulling out all the stops but that doesn't mean we can't get Elliott as well.. remember Brew said he was after 2 forwards

been a couple of times, nice wee stadium

I'm also one of the few that think Rossco would be an excellent centre half, he has every attribute a centre half requires. I also think it would cement him as an eventual club captain I'd love to see it an don't understand why no one has given it a try

first of all, it was very gay of me to number my answers I just can't agree that the club is not progressing; we have just had a player represented in a international competition, as a buisness the club has excelled since it was established and we are playing in the premier division. I think if a fan from another team looked at this thread they would accuse us of being ungrateful for the position we are currently in. not everything can be done at lightspeed

fits the bill

well said sir! :clapping03:

1) Do you know anything about the invester? Is there a chance Sutherland was preventing a dictatorship like there is at Hearts? 2) Some/most would say that's a good thing! 3) Warnock admitted he was never interested in the job 4) Not sure, never had to worry about it, the team I support has always made sure I don't have to worry about it. I care about the club but at the end of the day I pay money because I want to watch them play football. The internal matters I leave to the people that are paid to do them. I am more concerned with what has sparked this sudden paranoia when nothing has gone wrong! You/I don't see the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes but what you can see is the continued success of SPL stability. Since being establised we have never had to deal with failure and for that the board deserve full credit. If we did get relegated, and that's a big if, we wouldn't fall to pieces because the board have kept wages to be one of the lowest in the SPL. Personally I hope that the majority of the fee we receive from the Niculae transfer will go towards improving things at the stadium as well the playing staff but we need that massive investment to push things along.

Dundee are a perfect example of why we shouldn't keep Niculae Of course, and that's why your suggesting on another thread that we should replace him with 2 or 3 other players of lesser quality which would expand our wage bill into the bargain :rolleyes02: I'd rather have a well balanced squad than 1 good player... what if Niculae got injured? What if he has a poor season? Hibs are the best example, they have produced > ?10mil selling 'key' players in the last 4 years and still finished in the top 6 last season 1 player doesn't make a team

but that's the point we are not in any position to buy proven players, Niculae was a fluke purchase. We are only going to make money and progress by producing youth players or looking to the lower divisions as we have done since we were first established as ICT. Unless the club decide to throw wages at players and become the next Leeds, Dundee, Livi, Gretna etc. we're going to have to continue selling our biggest asset to invest for the future. Eventually when we have a full stadium each week we can start to take risks but we are far from that at the moment

Dundee are a perfect example of why we shouldn't keep Niculae

Jackson from St J, Ludovic Roy from Dundee, try to convince Steve Lovell to stay in Scotland (although unlikely) but I'd expect with the ?250k left over a scout would be able to tempt one of the top scorers in Div 2 in England, another Chris Porter for example!

No No No No

no offence mate but think you're clutching at straws think you'd struggle to find a club in the country that doesn't need improvement and most have had a century to work on them. We have sprung up the leagues in < 15 years so no wonder we're behind in a few things but we're on the right tracks. I really don't know what everyone's problem with Bennett is, how can the guy get more experience??

too many variables so I'm setting the figure at ?1 mil

Wish I could but think it'll just be the Burnley & Liverpool matches I can make it to... would much prefer to make it to the game on tuesday

This seems to be the topic that is splitting most posters on the forum so thought I'd put it to a poll. Rules: If you don't sell then you can enjoy one year of Niculae before he goes to another club for free. The offer has come from a club outside the UK. 40% of the fee can be used to sign new players. The question is this: If an offer of ?1mil was made for Niculae and you had the finger on the button would you sell him?

what do you want to be done?

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. you honestly think things are that bad? Possibly ?1mil coming in on th back of Niculae (not to mention the world recognition of ICT having a player in the Euros) , finally the club have done something about <16 ticket prices, about to reach our 5th season in the SPL, we are not in millions of debt I would take a good look at the likes of Livi & Gretna before going on strike!

:017: argueably the best left back in the SPL last season... Hastings is probably our most consistent performer, I'd prefer not to see him played at centre half though Munro is a left footed/sided centre half anyway... I still think we could do with another right sided centre half
