CELTIC1CALEY3

Spot on. The Club need to know there are a lot of professional and experienced people who support the club - in recent months we realised what it truly meant to us -would be able to help in some small way given the magnitude of what exists (so far). We can but hope DF and GB now feel they have to put something back themselves.

Notice that the Courier did not ask how?

It appears that he was quite authoritarian in his role. So he may have kept virtually every move to himself. However, this raises the question not only what was in his financial reports to the Board, but what did he tell the auditors? If he in effect took on the Company Secretarial role the Board would have sanctioned this. They will also have photocopied his professional qualifications when he was appointed. Hang on a minute.....

To me there is a big question mark over the battery farm proposal. One minute we believe the club own the land, they stand to make over £3m which would have paid off liabilities with cash in hand,supporters were mobilised to write to councillors. The club appear to have sold these rights for £250K initially to three people - Morrison, Munro and Cameron. Who signed that off given that Munro became a shareholder? Given the fact that David Cameron resigned as a director of the club well before the submission to the Council what was his role in a company believed to be for the benefit of the football club?

You forgot to mention his enormous ego, his lack of knowledge of Scottish football .....it will be interesting to see if AS has had a quiet word with him to encourage him to reflect on his position.

Close but the first word was Am. Now rearrange kwana!!

He could of course be rearranging the letters in his surname into two words of 2 and 5 letters and laughing at the fun he has had .

Inverness get relegated. Morrison jumps ship. Gardiner jokes that he has resigned to appease fans. Club publish accounts and Auditor whilst concerned points out that Directors confirm company is a going concern. As a reminder these are the five people who are confident that the company is a going concern...https://ictfc.com/the-board/ They are all smiles and happy.....

The good news is that Duncan Ferguson has agreed a 50% pay cut to allow the club to pay Dundee and Ross County and avoid further embarrassment to the club.....dream on!! The good news is that Scot Gardiner has now completed his period of notice (77 days) and leaves on Friday. The club wishes him well in his next Venture........

We almost need a new thread that is headed 'Next Ferguson Excuse for Defeat'. Steve Paterson would surely come back for one fifth of Ferguson's salary. 'Gary Bolan Mr De-motivator'.

Thank goodness we have by far the highest paid Manager in this League. He is an inspiration.

Are we not struggling already?

Gardyne gets himself sent off to avoid playing against ICT next Saturday!

Confirmation statement now made. Morrison has ICT's share. Registered office now in Dundee. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/SC732789/filing-history

Although Makwana is not on the face of it the legal owner on the Inverness Thistle and Caledonian Thistle FC Limited the Directors are allowing him to assist the Manager make signings. It is quite interesting to look back at Para 1.2 of the Accounts submitted on 3 July 2024. That is the Directors arguing that the action they are taking mean the Company will remain a going concern despite the caution of the auditors. For others, details of the share position were also shown as above (apologies to Charles and Achfary given their knowledge) of these)

https://www.inverness-courier.co.uk/news/ketan-makwana-says-no-changes-at-the-top-for-caley-thistle-u-357528/ Sounds like good Management speak but the Courier again miss key questions such as those in your latest post Charles.

Presumably SG or Consultants have carried out detailed credit and other checks before recommending to the Board acceptance of the takeover offer? It sounds quite a complex takeover. Reaching 50.48% must surely be the minimum target and not certain to be achieved so therefore with a margin of error built in? At this stage it should be down to solicitors exchanging correspondence to reach agreement for signing.

If you look at Ferguson and Bollan's salaries - Bollan was not actually needed - you can see another big mistake by SG.

Duffy looked like he had some of Tremarco's DNA. Played well for the whole game. Mackinnon played well in the first half. GK Mik Juana ?

Given that all discussions appear to have been carried out remotely (until his first ever visit to Inverness on 13th July 2024) - unless Directors met him in London - it would be easy to get carried away on use of land under ICT's control. His vision in the video goes off the radar. I wonder what David Sutherland or George Fraser think?

Highland Council officials may have had some contact with him but for any major development decision reports would need to go through various committees to the full Council. The next THC full meeting is on 19th September 2024. If Makwana thinks he can complete everything by 31st August 2024 if it involves any level of complexity..... You can also take it THC will involve expensive consultants and many experienced officials to analyse proposals. Even Makwana cannot emerge out of nowhere to be preferred bidder on a massive development.

.....and now working with Acting Chairman Panos who has previous experience of a football club takeover at Watford!

At least the Courier managed to get him talking but maybe he loves his own voice. Legal contracts do take a lot of time to finalise so 31 August 2024 may be optimistic. There seem many key issues to tie up. Everything still seems too good to be true.

Significantly adding to the mystery https://fina-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/SC732789 Have also posted that link on the Battery Storage topic.
