Is it not the case though, that whilst a lot of that bread and butter stuff has indeed been dealt with poorly, it is only big projects that could realistically make a major difference to our finances? 

Thats a very good point and probably carries significant validity, a question is though while the ideas are good and in some ways innovative is the current administration the correct or most experienced and competent to execute or do egos get in the way of bringing in experts and consultants to assist?

Great decision releasing a quality player like this when so much junk in the squad needing cleared up well before him . But it’s the way the club is being run these days  . Very badly run club . CEO is a joke 

Lets just see what come in with the available money and how QP get on after the new manager 'bounce' wears off and Welsh is back injured only playing less than 50% of the games.

Wonder if the colour of our opponents tops (home or away) will impact the CEO's mood more than the end result?

Think Rams' been gone for a while now.

Missed that announcement - just assumed he was one of the perma-crocks or lurking in the shadows waiting the next injury crisis

Why do we always wait until mid transfer window to sign players, this club clearly has no clue!!

Probably several reasons, the main one being we have little money so are waiting on loans which will depend on parent clubs conducting business or we need to play 'the game' of holding fast for released or experienced pro's who didnt get the offers they expected so will reluctantly come to us as last resort - Wortherspoon for example.

What if we were to play him an he got crocked 

Panos would fix him up

I'm no SG or RM fan (far from it and would happily see them put under heavy pressure and challenging questioning), however the difficulty given the lack of communication and transparency is that we don't know what the expectations or objectives are within the club as a whole or for individuals. Therefore while we all look in thinking its a 'sh1t show' there may be a case that SG is meeting the boards expectations and they are happy with his performance and contributions with the issues around fan engagement & communication not actually being considered important to anyone.

I agree.

It wouldn’t be fair to anyone, Wotherspoon, us or United, for him to be put in that position.

I wonder when the club will confirm he is moving on…..?

Will be no different to Shinnie when he played against Aberdeen after signing a PCA and plenty others from our past. If we are paying his wages this week and he is fit, then I'm hoping Dunc will expect him to be professional and play - we cant afford to pay our best talent to sit out games especially given the dearth of quality we have.

He wouldn't have offered the same kind of hospitality to any Celtic folk. If you get my drift!!!

Maybe you wont have long to wait and we will find out on Friday night when Dundee Hibernian visit?

It’s a bit of a con, but it seems that we count tickets sold rather than bodies turning up, and we’re not the only club doing it

Whys it a con? The seats are sold, they can't be resold so whether empty on the day or not its still a ticket sale and that person is entitled to turn up or otherwise.

Top 4 is optimistic but as ever its a tight league so a good run and decent signings we are probably around a similar level to everyone excluding DUtd, PT and RR.

From an entertainment perspective beating Morton last game of the regular season in a winner takes all shoot out for 4th would be pleasing before getting back to winning ways against Raith in the play-off semi would be hilarious. Especially as fans from both teams seem intent on gloating about how impressive they are this season.......suppose if you're starved of success for generations a few wins in the lower leagues is a bight beacon.

Negative parking the bus tactics like we saw from Morton in Inverness on Sat and head to Airdrie to play the same disciplined way for a point. Not pretty but if thats what this league is becoming with the away teams all looking for a draw lets follow suit - afterall a point is better than a defeat as shown by most (not all teams in this league) drawing almost 1/3 of their games so far this season.

I heard in the pub that if the league table was done based on peak height of the coaching team we would have moved from the foot of the table to the top.

Start of this years Hampden journey and good chance to divert attention from the 'tiresome' battery farm chat through giving these butchers, bakers and candlestick makers the level of skudding expected by an elite team with rich pedigree in this competition.

Full strength home team to score plenty goals and build confidence please

Reads like a statement that would have benefited being written by solicitors and technical experts in the field.

Positive though that our board are at least willing to try new ideas.

Exactly. Great chance for some players to bang in goals (which this season have been lacking) and build confidence.

I read last night that the Highland Council planning department are recommending refusal for the Battery Farm above Fairways but can’t find it today. 

I have faith in SG to envoke project 'sportswashing' to get the community onside and push this through..........

Maintaining the gap to DUtd which at this stage is all we can do to match them and try to better week on week.

Dunc has clearly changed to whole mentality and atmosphere at the club. Let's maintain form til January and see what he can do with a backed transfer window.

Chairman Ross Morrison joined to give an update on the Battery Farm and what it could mean for the club if it happens.

#ballers

In it for the long game overtaking these Saudi backed oil money clubs I hope bringing the world's best to the Highlands

Overcome with the levels of excitement for this one!!!

Tight affair, expect us to struggle to score as usual, so low scoring either 1-0, or 1-1. Hoping for all 3 points though to keep up the momentum.
