No.... that doesn't count. You changed two letters. lane

In an ideal world yes he would have his say but like I say Don knew what he was doing, you yourself say that DS's attitude to threats has been proved many times over. Are you therefore saying Don is so naive that he thought he would become the exception to the rule? I say what Don has done is extremely cunning and clever, he has played a very shrewd hand, he has managed to expose something which certain people would like kept under wraps. Does this make Don a victim? No, a victim does nothing to bring his misfortune upon himself, as far as I see Don created this situation very well I would see him more as a victor than a victim. More of a victor than a victim? I'd say his real and genuine concerns are for the future, or even the survival of ICT.

Wouldn't we all.... And is it a lot to expect, or to ask for?

For me, his best performance ever, was against Motherwell a couple of weeks ago. Had he been in the side to face Kilmarnock I would have put money on ICT winning the tie....

To whom it may concern....

If the club needed to borrow money from the bank, would it be possible for them to offer the stadium as security against a loan?

I strongly suspect that the stadium ownership issue is likely to be the one that will have upset certain board members/shareholders.

Another significant post here in an exchange with Charles Bannerman.... As CD rightly says all the claims he has made concerning the ownership of the stadium are in the public domain... Any member of the board could probably put this story to bed right now.... If they wanted to. Quote : The Charitable Trust DO NOT own the stadium or the leasehold for the land, these are held by companies wholly owned by David Sutherland.....confirmed by searches done at the Land Registry. These documents also detail the amount of rent being paid...and I can assure you it is far from being way below what I would consider commercial rates. The Charitable Trust was set up, but it has never traded a single penny and is, according to companies house, a dormant company. Explain why ICTFC have no shareholding in the company that owns the new stands when they invested in the region of ?250,000 in the project? Explain why minutes of Highland Council Meetings (these are public records) detail that the loan they gave was in the name of Inverness Caledonian Thistle Properties Ltd and not the Charitable Trust...which you claim owns the the Stadium?

This, for me, was the significant question (particularly, the 3rd para) raised by CaleyD, it's absolutely pathetic that the only way the board can respond to it, is to shoot the messenger.... Quote : I want to make it clear that my main objection in regard to stadium ownership are more to do with how it happened as oppose to it happening at all. What bothers me and needs answered is why it ended up in the hands of a private individual/business when we were told it was being moved to a Charitable Trust. Some might think that it makes no difference, but it makes a big difference. A trust, especially a charitable trust, must be set up serve a specific cause. When the Charitable Trust was being talked about we were told that once it cleared its feet of the debt then any income it made would be used to benefit the Inverness sporting community. We were also told that ICT would have a stake in that Trust, and as such, some say in the activity of the trust and a legal right/claim to any benefits realised by the trust. In effect their was always the thought/belief that "ICT will get something back from the deal in future" and benefit in both the short and long term. How would you feel if you had a Trust fund, only to discover that when you turned 21 and were due to start receiving that the solicitors had actually given everything to a private individual who was earning from your money/assets and had no legal responsibility to give you so much as a penny? And to then rub salt in the wound they wanted to charge you rent to remain in the family home? I've been raising (and investigating) these concerns for years so my thoughts and feelings on it are not driven by any "low" that came from relegation or the rapid decline we seem to be witnessing as a result. For the most part, ICT got to where they did thanks to the efforts of those on the playing/coaching/management side. Our off field activities have always been a run in a reactive shambles, the "we'll take care of that when it happens" approach, and it should be no surprise to anyone that this has finally caught up with us. Furthermore, I have never been an advocate of the "Directors should be throwing in their money" argument. It shouldn't, for the most part, be needed. To qualify that, I appreciate that running a football club without occasional investment is a near impossible task, but there's many ways to attract that investment/sponsorship which go beyond selling the family silver and it can even be done without the need to sell shares...at least on a permanent basis.

Birdog.... Given that there is a danger that ICT could go into administration, don't you think these "awkward questions" are questions that should be asked?

Only 500 copies?

Why don't they just scrap it? It's a complete and utter waste of space. There's nothing to stop them making any announcements they want to make on here.

It would be nice to think it was 99K, but will more likely be nearer to 10K...

Surprised he opted for Hamilton given interest from Hearts and Killie. Good luck to him.... a very talented player who always gave us 100% - I'll miss him.

Imrie won the Motherwell game for us. It's a shame he's moving on, the guy has so much potential. I heard over the weekend, that he was upset by the treatment he received from a section of our so called supporters, and that was a factor that helped him make up his mind to move. I don't know that for sure, but I sincerely hope it's not true, otherwise who are the boo boys going to try and get rid of next?

Dundee it was.... Allegedly after manager Simon Stainrod dropped him from the first team.... Lucky for him (Stainrod) he didn't do it in his Fedora!
