IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

593 to be precise :001: I am enjoying this - its surreal - its a forum full of IHE's - 6 months too late as usual. :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

:rotflmao: And to think most of you slagged me off fer saying the things that you are saying yerselves now - Still we cant all be gifted.

He appears to have been practically sainted in the last few weeks - well not by IHE. He is an established professional - He must have known that he was being played too early - He must have felt the atmosphere in the dressing room - He must have known that he was way out of form - At the end of the day Marius Niculae was always - and still is - looking after Number One. Some may say that isnt anything strange these days - TRUE - but it is at ICT. Marius is a mercenary who has got what he wanted and now will move on - and I predict that he will fall. Lets not forget that if it wasnt fer Gretna the signing of Niculae and the standard of his play for the majority of the season would possibly have taken us into the SFL.

Fill your boots...people have knocked a lot of what you've said this season and you have been and are about to be proved right on a few things. I just have a feeling that this is one that could come back to bite a few people on the butt (me included) so I'm biting my tongue on it until I have more information. Bit ma teeth fer once and have got pished instead - fer once - But Inverness Caley Thistle's major shareholder David Sutherland has told BBC Scotland the club cannot afford the wages of Romanian Marius Niculae. Sutherland says the club needs to raise around ?500,000 in a new shares issue if it wants to keep the striker. Caley Thistle said former chairman Alan Savage had been paying the striker's wages - a claim which he denies. "At no time has the Orion Group or Alan Savage made any payments to Marius Niculae whatsoever," he said. Doubts arose over Niculae's future when Savage resigned from the club. However, he had previously said he would pay Niculae's salary for the forthcoming season. The new statement issued via Savage's company casts doubt over where such funding would come from. "I'm sure the statement from Alan Savage's Orion Group will confuse the players, the fans and the public," said Sutherland. "I think Mr Savage is setting the record straight that neither he nor Orion payed Marius Niculae's wages over the past 12 months. "As I understand it, Mr Savage injected around ?270,000 of share capital to try and ease the contract payments." Now Sutherland says that the player's wages, in the region of ?4000 a week, are too high to maintain. "No matter how good he is I come back to the point of sustainabilty, and no matter how good he is I don't think we can afford it," said Sutherland. ALL the Board are to BLAME - get the main feckin "players" the feck out of it !!

i wonder if it is becos he is a two faced, arrogant ******* who splits the dressing room and the fan base ?

GET A FECKIN GRIP - WHEN DID THE TAWTS IN CHARGE EVER CARE WHAT WE HAVE SAID OVER THE LAST YEAR ?? If ya thought I had a feckin super-ego. :018:

ALL I KNOW IS THAT CC OPPOSED IT - and there is lots more to come. - It is possible that the fall out will bring this club into disrepute - just wait fer ma next thread - feckin ban me if ya want :023:

Is that what we the fans have been led to believe ?

TODAYS REVELATION: We would also like to point out that the signing of Marius Niculae was a unanimous decision of the ICTFC board on the recommendation of the then Manager Charlie Christie. BBC SPORT FOOTBALL: - 17/07/07 Savage said: "My company does business in Romania and Niculae was recommended. "When Charlie was shown the DVD of the player in action, he immediately said he's love to get him. "It is a rare opportunity to land an international player who was a free agent, thus involving no transfer fee, and the club directors were very keen to help the manager strengthen for the new SPL campaign." Director of football Graeme Bennett added: "We are delighted to be able, subject to the work permit, to recruit someone of Marius's calibre within our existing football budget. :023:

FECK ME - DOES THIS MEAN I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG ?? :023:

Look forward to meeting you Rev - Pray fer our future at the moment - and could you communicate with Father Thomas in Chorley who says he has run out of Hail Marys and Our Fathers at my weekly confessions - is that possible ?

ONE DOWN - :004:

:clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: I have to take my hat to that statement - very, very clever. :008: But Orion Group may have made payments to the club and the club paid Marius !!! And it wont be on the clubs accounts either - it will state how much the club were paying to his wage - but that in itself will be interesting - that would explain why there was no money in the transfer window. But that is NOT what we have been told or they would say what we think we have been told !! All I can say is that it "feels" like the ordinary fan has once again "appeared" to have been "misled" - (not deceived) by the club management. AND THE LATEST IN A SEASON LONG LIST.

All you have to know is that George Fraser is my uncle. :001:

CC wanted to resign in early 2007 TWICE - Niculae was not to blame personally. We have played spells of "good" football and spells of "terrible" future under both. We have to sort out the running of this club first and foremost - I dont like debating "What if /" - But " What if we had a club management restructure at the beginning of this season and operated a "proper" search for manager/coach etc. ?" Here is hoping that is finally on its way. :018:

Thanks Beastie - it is about time somebody stood up fer the most abused individual on this site. :003: And "life" is an eternal flame for some. :004:

:rotflmao: Thank you for massaging my ego with a well thought out and fairly accurate summary. :001: I get banned too quickly on the Tinkerville site fer my liking. And dont fret I am an immortal - I am here fer life. And now may I ask that my fellow posters are allowed to discuss their views on the playing staff and may I ask all of my other personal detractors to desist from interfering with the flow of this thread and try to control their internalised adulation for me.

confussed - who is feckin suspended and who isnt ?

Why - becos Wyness leg end slipped through the net.

And hopefully neither will you :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: WynessLegend - cannot understand the logic of free speech and the substance of an independent football fan forum - and does not have the intelligence to challenge or discuss the views of anybody else - as he is always rite. :sillywave: The post was a personal perspective and I was interested in the views of other posters - which I would still value - but there will always be the erseholes. :020:

Ach well - you were taken in by the Brew appointment fiasco - I suppose you can also be easily taken in by the false team spirit "show" - just makes him slighty more difficult to boot into touch - pity he didnt consider CC just as much !! :018:

FRASER :003: :003: :003: :003: Has progressed further this season and has improved many aspects of his game - still prone to the odd gaffe but most goalies are. Can only improve further. Has earned the No 1 jersey - Hopefully Zibi can be persuaded to stay - as at least he is experienced and is a better replacement han any we have had in recent times. TOKELY :003: :003: :003: Has had a more topsy turvy season and has shown some signs of wear and tear - misses Dods and other teams have tried to capitalise on his lack of pace and forward momentum. Still worth another season at least - but keep him at right back. PROCTOR :003: :003: :003: Brew appears to have him destined to be a central defender - never came across as that to me - fortunately he can play / cover in a few positions - I would prefer him at full back or in right midfield but is the perfect replacement for Tokely when the time comes. MAGUIRE :003: :003: Simply not overly impressed. Signed as we had few other options - would prefer to sign a more experienced central defender and one with genuine pace and a bit of a football head. MUNRO :003: :003: :003: :003: First year as captain, amidst the off the field commotion, affected him - Simply has to remain as captain but given a better partner to boot. HASTINGS :003: :003: Good defender but I would be showing him the door - no attacking style. MCBAIN :003: :003: :003: can be invisible but 110% - I would love to give him an extended run at left back. WILSON :003: :003: :003: Worth another season and a deserved testimonial year - Get him coaching the reserve team and use him on the bench. BLACK :003: :003: :003: :003: :003: Jekyll and feckin Hyde - he would be a major loss has the potential to play on a far higher stage - needs to channel his agression to far better use. DUNCAN :003: :003: :003: I fer one am glad that he is staying. He often is an unsung performer - but keep him in the hole and let his fellow midfielders do the passing etc. COWIE :003: :003: :003: :003: :003: We have to decide where his best position is - I would say central midfield but we therefore need a right sided player to compliment him. IMRIE :003: :003: :003: Fairly impressed given the fact that he has come into the SPL in mid season - Has to play wide left or central left and needs to beef up a bit. PATTI :003: :003: Has never impressed me - has found the step up to the SPL hard to steer into. BAYNE :003: :003: :003: Worth another season as a squad cover forward WYNESS :003: :003: Has never really set the SPL on fire - will always be a Legend but is not doing it any more - needs ro go back down to the SFL where I have no doubt that he will be firing goals in again. RORY :003: :003: Sorry but have to give a Simon Cowell heave ho. ZANDER :003: :003: :003: :003: Get him back fer pre season and give him a run in the team. NICULAE :003: :003: :003: :003: :003: Simply has to stay - for him as well as us - my comments are well known and I stand by them but he has remainde injury free and has looked better and better as the season progresses - even if a bit of self motivated - but I would love to see him fit at the start of the season - playing as a front man with a pacy forward playing alongside him - BRING IT ON. So - lets go fer an experienced central defender with pace - a squad orientated left footed defender - Kissock on loan - a stubborn younger "hole" type player - or is that Vigurs ? - must is a pacy forward (or two!!) Oh and a new manager to boot - one who can motivate and not divide. :023:

:clapping03: :clapping03: :clapping03: two magnificent wins and two magnificent performances - against form sides as well. :sillywave:

If only you knew !! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
