Seems to be one of Robbo's deficiencies, he should never publically criticise any player individually. We win or lose as a team.

maybe not Tulloch but certainly a Sutherland connection.

I think this just goes to show that there doesn't seem to be any new blood interested. A big pity but glad to see two very successful businessmen willing to come back and bring their business acumen (and money) to help the club.

Come on guys - we are getting what we are paying for -in all departments !

Wish someone would shut this crap down cos it's not giving anyone positive vibes.

Brilliant musical mind and a nice guy. RIP

last I heard Euan was at Nairn but I think he may now be in the States.

Sam Urquhart is Alan Urquharts son (ex Clach and Ross County) was with us as a kid, went to Aberdeen then back to us for a wee while as a youth. Big potential but didn't quite get there.

It has always been my view that those who want to leave should be allowed to go.

I very much doubt it.

RIP Hugh. We could always do with people like you, solid, sensible and trustworthy ?

I wouldn't put our problems down Carl. IMO it is down to individuals not taking responsibility for their own jobs. If they did Carl is the senior statesman and should be our captain.

so who would you replace Carl with?

Paint Pot Kicking little Jobby?

I hear the former Caley president Hugh Crout's health has deteriorated considerably. I am pretty sure Hugh will now be well into his 80's but I hope he recovers well enough to enjoy many more happy years.

I think selling Ryan gives us the edge on return on investment and also think we could argue that we have had more players coming through to the first team squad. However, we have to get away from this County comparison thing. IMO a Highland "Academy" would cut costs dramatically and reduce the number of kids being given false hope and then dumped. Negotiations could be difficult and would be better held by people who have no personal positions to protect. .

probably affect their jobs as well. just like not going to your work.

if we are spending nearly £500k pa on youth development then we need to calculate our return on investment. I'm sure any new investor would seriously look at this.

Players will develope to the level they are capable of. If they are capable, the Premier League team would pick them up and so on down the leagues to highland League. It just takes mature people to work it out and save all clubs a lot of money. It is a well known fact that the majority of kids being coached in so called academies will not play at the club's league level.

personally I believe directors should have a minimum of £50k invested in the club.

I don't think you will find that Mr Fyfe has any shares in the club. If he has, I will be very surprised.

The existing major shareholders would probably be a deterrent to new major investment.

Assuming we go into Admin surely the FT shares would also be diluted to zero ?

Maybe time for completely new faces

If we do go into administration I think it would be for a short period of time before new investment appears.
