As you are so keen to get rid of the manager maybe you could tell us all where we get the money to pay him off?

Well done to the young kids with the banner "There's only one David Raven". He came over to them at half time and they took some selfies. Gentleman. Get him signed up NOW - we need him

I, like you, wonder if we would get the same Billy back but anyway, he is probably outside our "similar budget".

I'm very glad to hear that our junior support is thriving due to the efforts being made to attract them. Just making a point that your knowledge of ICT is not as vast as you may think and does not imply in any way that I was involved at the club.

Just for the record - ICT started issuing comp tickets to Primary and Secondary schools in 1996 - long before CJT came into being.

I am not saying I "want everyone to take what Hughes says as gospel" - people can make their own minds up. With regard to "displaying a very distrusting attitude towards what the board say" - I am merely passing an opinion on my reading of their statement which I believe is very much open to interpretation.

Typical spin from the powers that be. Why not just say the budget will be considerably less than we spent this season.

For goodness sake Kingsmills why don't you give your constant critical comments a break!

You are obviously a deep thinker IHE.

Good to hear of some potential cos we have no option but to groom our own.

Including "over age" players such as first team squad players will obviously enhance the team performance and improve results. Development means the development of players not teams. A number of years ago Celtic proved this when they didn't retain one player from their U19 league winning squad. The ONLY important factor is the number of players promoted to the first team squad at the end of the season. Would you consider a 3-3 draw against a young Hamilton team a good result when we include 5 first team squad players in our team?

Their 16-man (16-boy?) squad today:" 1 x 34 (Martin Canning)! 1 x 19 4 x 18 2 x 17 5 x 16 2 x 15 1 x 14 Now that's what I call a "Development Squad" "A much better campaign from Inverness though - although, obviously it couldn't have been any worse! Last season was the first Development League and we finished 17th - this season we'll be either 14th or 15th. Still not fantastic, but, the figures are better in all departments." P W D L F A Points 2014-15 32 5 8 19 33 84 23 2015-16 32 9 9 14 39 52 36 Again, league stats mean absolutely nothing. What matters is how many players are good enough to progress to the next level!

I would have given the tickets to Kingsmills so that he could tell JH how much he loves him - Face to Face!

I would really like to know who is doing the negotiating - is it JH or Cameron?

The budget IS unrealistic for SPL football - a fact you are unwilling to accept. As far as costing the club in excess of £500k I would ask you what the club has done with the near £1m he made in the past? You seem to knock his every move but considering his selection problems during the past season and his budget restraints I believe our support should be happy with 7th or 8th place. All things considered I would be happy with SPL survival every season.

Lets just wait and see what the outcome of all this is. I still say Foran is NOT the answer if JH does go.

Believe what you want but reality is completely different.

If the budget is cut yet again we can look forward to championship football the season after next.

Who the hell would want the job with a budget like ours? It's the people above him that need changing.

I'm sure JH would jump at the chance of getting away from all the crap he gets up here. I hear his relationship with the powers that be is now a bit strained so you never know, maybe they are trying to **** him off with their unrealistic budgets etc.

I think the whole episode relates to the money we are spending on the likes of Foran etc. Add up the BIG contracts (which the manager did not dish out) and deduct the total from the budget Cameron has given Yogi and you get a figure he has to offer the players out of contract and new players he wants to bring in. The answer to all that is probably pretty dire!

I've said it before and things still haven't changed - SPFL Team with NO long term foundation!

I just can't believe Yogi has let him go without having a BETTER replacement in the bag. If he has, he has gone way way down in my ratings. IMO a great player for this club and I hope he gets snapped up real quick.

I can understand where you are coming from but if we can't get another 1000 on our home gates to finance this then the board would need to attract major new investment. If this was possible why hasn't it happened before now?

What a bludy shame
