I was speaking today to someone who was regularly in JH's company and said he appeared to be rather passionate about the setting up of a Youth Academy at ICT. At the same time he understood the costs involved in doing so and how unlikely this was in the foreseeable future. Obviously a side of Yogi nobody saw.

So are we saying that the board made the wrong decision in signing OFW and letting Deano go?

Hope they spoke to the "new manager" before making such signings

Aye but ICT can't

Most likely that they "did" it together but I don't recall anything being said about Rice at the time.

I doubt that very much

Compensation payments maybe

Now that's better news

Ffs you can't go for someone who wants funds to compete at this level. Get wise people

Your "dislike" started the day he arrived and you have been nothing but critical no matter what the man did. Maybe you have been treated the same way at some time in the past but if not I certainly hope you you do in the future. We can do without people like you

John Hughes you are a legend at Caley Thistle just sorry it all had to end like this. Sincere best wishes for the future.

Don't be bloody stupid man. You will find previous posts from me stating that our fans need reality and that may not be in the top division.

Let's face facts, every manager worth his salt tries to get more money to strengthen the team. Because of the injury crisis he had no option but to look for more money and the board had no option but to approve it. The problems arose with next seasons budget and If it was set at the starting figure agreed for the previous season I think this was fair. I do not however agree to bringing any negotiations or arguments into the public domain. It should all be done behind closed doors and it's not only the manager who should be subject to these conditions. If our board felt Yogi's comments were out of order they should have disciplined him privately - just the same as any business would do. If they felt it was gross misconduct they should have dismissed him and let an industrial tribunal decide if he was due any compensation. This situation is a shambles for both parties concerned and I would totally agree with Tichy Blacks Back in that a total, comprehensive review of how this club is run (and the people who run it - salaried and otherwise) is undertaken immediately. OBTW , with respect, I don't think Danny MacDonald has the level of experience to do this.

Lets be honest here folks, the only reason we attracted the quality players we did was because of Butcher - a big name former player and the chances of us doing this again, after this fiasco, is nigh impossible.

Oh come on last season was down to injuries to our top players which can happen to any manager. A club with our budget has to accept the good with the bad and I'm just sorry this childish spat turned out the way it did. It isn't just Yogi at fault here, something serious has gone wrong with his relationship with Cameron for all this to happen. I really don't think Foran is the answer but I can see it happen for financial reasons and he must get the supporters backing. I also don't see him looking past his pal Kell as assistant.

I don't intend to argue with one who thinks he is so up to speed with everything but I would ask one question: If we can afford to pay compensation to our most successful manager and then pay a salary to a new manager, why do we have a problem with the playing budget. Your answer would be appreciated learned one.

If Yogi actually goes I wouldn't get too excited about the quality of manager our club can now attract.

A sad end but if compensatiion hasn't been agreed why is this in the press? Again a very amateur way to conduct any business. Whoever let this go out should be sacked NOW! With regard to a breakdown in relationship with Cameron why is everyone assuming it was Yogi to blame? It takes two to tango! Our chairman should also review his position.

Surely this doesn't surprise you.

If we have a fit Doran along with Billy McKay I would say we could be quite a force. The only problem is getting a deal for Billy boy.

I'd give that a go

And what the fek is wrong with that?

Ya beauty! Was that before or after the live greyhound race with Mapples at half time.

I really don't know if there's a season left in him at this level and when you consider he is the biggest earner at the club there is a big decision to be made.
