We have been told it will be November before we see Tremarco and Dorran. What about the players we have signed and already injured. Can anybody shed some light on them?

Good on you from a Leachkin lad to a Craig lad.

Same match as me apparently - Far from the end product but mega potential. Best pairing we have had in yonks.
You must be joking? but I will remain with hope that I am wrong.

Do not agree with this at all. I think they have the look of a very good partnership. From what I have seen Oakley wins headers and his hold up play is excellent. Baird will play off him and get in behind and in my opinion will score 15+ goals this season. I think they compliment each other very well.
What match were you watching today ?

Today against Forfar Polworth was the best player on the pitch.

Polworth and Draper were our two best players. Quite impressed with Ricardo in the first half but nothing from him in the second.. As for the rest we will struggle to make mid-table in the championship.

No idea who has signed and is fit!

Agree, CC would be perfect for this job.

ICTFC Club News
STATEMENT FROM ICTFC BOARD
- Details
- Last Updated: Thursday, 01 June 2017 14:07
There has been a good response of candidates expressing interest for the position of ICT football manager. The Board of Directors are currently assessing the applicants in readiness for interview selection. It is important that we select the right person for this key position.The following players are still under contract and are expected to be part of the squad moving forward. All the players under contract have indicated that they are wanting to stay and help the club regain its Premier League status. The current ICT players are Owain Fon-Williams, Ryan Esson, David Raven, Gary Warren, Ross Draper, Iain Vigurs, Liam Polworth, Scott Boden, Aaron Doran, Jake Mulranney, Brad McKay and Carl Tremarco.We are currently in negotiation with Cammy Mackay and Kevin McNaughton and are hopeful of resigning them. There are other targets that have been identified as potential future players and we are confident that we will have a strong squad next season who will be very well equipped to mount a robust challenge for promotion.Several players have moved on from ICT and we would like to thank them all for their efforts and wish them all the very best of luck in the future; those leaving include Josh Meekings, Dean Ebbe, Lewis Horner, Henri Anier, Greg Tansey and Jason Brown. Alex Fisher is a player whom we tried to resign but he decided to take up an offer elsewhere and we wish him well at his new club.On top of that Billy King, Billy McKay, Larnell Cole and Jamie McCart, all of whom were on loan, have left the club to either rejoin their parent club or are moving elsewhere.Our top priority next season will be to get back into the Scottish Premier League. This is something that everyone at ICT is focused on and we will be giving 100% effort to achieve this goal.WELL, that was a load of rubbish from our board. They are ruining our club and reputation.-

I don't mind building a completely different squad every now and then, especially when it's gone stale (and ours really has). The big issue here though is how we rebuild them. When recruiting a new manager, there should've been a lot focus how good a recruiter the perspective manager was. Has John Robertson rebuilt a side before? Not really, as far as I'm aware. Does John Robertson have the contacts to bring players in? We shall see.
When Butcher did it in 2009, he had the contacts and the know-how to bring good players in. He also had a great backbone of a side of established players and those who knew Scottish football inside out. Esson, Tokely, Duncan, McBain, Golabek and Munro, as well as inheriting Adam Rooney. Don't have that luxury this time, especially if Raven and Draper are away.
The next few weeks are pivotal. Get it right and we might be able to bounce back. Get it wrong and it could set us back years.
I hope I am wrong, but I agree with the above comments, especially setting us back

Kenny's biggest mistake in all this is being too loyal to RF and its a mistake many of us might have made as we desperately wanted him to achieve success. At worst, Kenny let his heart rule his head and the rest is history. He has been at the club for a little less than 2 decades so to say he has a lack of understanding is incorrect.
It is also unfair to put the blame on the lack of communication on him. He vacated the building after the final game of the season and what has happened since is in the hands of the remaining directors. I think many of them may have underestimated just how much work Kenny put in at the stadium, how much time he spent there, and how much communication actually went out because of his hands on approach or his availability ... its going to be a steep learning curve for them too, especially the new directors and whilst we are all understandably critical of the transition right now you can be sure there are quite a few folk working their socks off behind the scenes to get things in order.
Don't disagree with what you say Scotty, but as a supporter of ICT and Caley over the last sixty years, I really fear for our club. The directors do not keep the supporters informed what is happening within the club. We are desperate to know who our next manager is going to be. But all we have is silence. Nice to see Kilmarnock are going to get Steve Marsella, and they have told the world. Personally I feel at tis moment our directors would find it hard to manage a juvenile club.

More to the point is there actually anything happening at the club???? Its like the shutters have gone up with communication non existant.
Would the last person leaving the stadium, please turn off the lights. As a supporter of 65+ YEARS I AM SADDENED AT THE WAY OUR CLUB IS RUN.

Not Paul Hartley. I work with a few DFC fans and every single one of them said he was clueless and complained week after week about his selections and lineups. Ring any bells?
I bet he will be hoping for a call from Hearts when Cathro gets booted.
Living in Dundee, I know a heck of a lot of Dundee fans, and halfway through the season they were calling for him to go. and just towards the end hardly anyone had a good word for him.

If Foran stays, it shows no ambition by the board, and the club will be run by a bunch of numpties. The silence from the board shows nothing but contempt for the supporters.

Just now, Kingsmills said:
I don't support any regime. I support the club.
Question to you. Do you want Foran to Stay?

Ok smart ass. If you want us to continue our decline, keep supporting the current regime.

Now that we have a new chairman are things going to change? ,I don't think so. Finlayson has been a director for a number of years, and could have challenged the way we were going, but as far as I know has not done so. In fact I have not heard of him until now. What we need is a fresh face businessman, maybe with a few quid to spare to re invent our club. Sometimes I wish we had stayed in the Highland League, and we could have still won the Scottish Cup.

Not McGhee. -
Goodbye Premiership for a very long time, unless we get some investment and of course a new manager.

Dare to replace Draper with Vigurs and.....
If he makes that change and we get beat, it is bye bye Ritchie.

JH's public criticism of the board was his way of manufacturing his exit. He had the biggest budget of any ICT in history and was moaning publicly about the lack of money. He did well with Butcher's team but couldn't bring in talent himself.
He had to go.
Agreed JH had to go He worked the situation to his advantage and left the club with money in his pocket (money the club could ill afford).That's why the cheap option was taken in appointing Ritchie. In private industry and you were promoting somebody into a more senior post, but this person was untried in and lacked experience,
it would be on a trial basis of 3 or 6 months (a common practice) and not 4 years, Ritchie must have been smiling all the way to his Bank Manager asking for a mortgage. This is why the Board must go and go quick. Let's try and get proper businessmen in to run our club. IT IS THE BOARD WHO ARE RELEGATING OUR CLUB

The Board and Ritchie must go now.

Been a Caley supporter from the Telford Street days 65 years ago. Honestly this is the worst performance have seen. I liked Ritchie as a player but as a Manager he leaves a lot to be desired.. The board of ICT must show they want to be in the Premier League and not the Highland League.
Let's get somebody into the club with some business sense., and a bit of cash.

The Chairman may have changed, but the board remains much the same. Some things will never get better! A bunch of numpties who have not got a clue how to run a football club. They are there for their for own ego!
