Whats the answer then? keep Bayne who needs almost 3 seasons to score more than 10 goals ( albeit at a far lower salary ) Strikers who can score more than 10 goals per season will cost ya, we did get lucky with Dargo i'll admit, but if we managed to re-sign Dargs at more than ?2k per week would that not have brought unrest aswell ? especially if he stopped scoring as he has lately. I would be happy to see Marius stay, he might just start to score more freqently if we make a few wee changes.

Exactly... It's time we had people in control with ICT's interests at heart... Not their own feckin egos... Trouble is John that most powerful businessmen with money have ego's to match, kind of goes hand in hand. See George Fraser interview in the Record has him claiming that keeping Marius for next season would not be a problem ! Conflicting stuff again eh

IF Marius is on ?4k a week, the money Orion injected would not cover his salery for two years, this is perhaps why DS is coming out with the ' cant afford him next season ' stuff, and as we all know if DS had beent he chairman at the time, Marius would not be at ICT. And its anybodys guess what would have happened if this had been the case, however the past is the past and i think Fraser will for sure be DS's man in the camp.

Fair point...however it has one huge flaw. If it was that straight forward then why not simply be clear about it from the outset? I'll tell you why...because it would have caused an absolute uproar that the Board were giving away 12% of the club in order to secure the services of one player for 2 years....and the Board knew it, which is why they were happy to let people continue believing that Orion were paying (at least) part of his wages. No lies were told, but the club made sure it helped the assumption along and did nothing to set the story straight. Very plausible mun, waiting for the appearance of Mr Fraser now to see what he has to say, although DS will probably have primed him.

Aye aye, the conspiracy theorists are flocking now, seems to me that we are getting up tight about not much here. CC looks to have wanted Marius, Orion and the board agree he could be signed, Orion buy shares to the value of his wages, If Marius is sold this will money back into the coffers. The only gamble was... would Marius produce the goods?

Think he's had that for a while now Don.

Fraser is an employee of ROC, Therefore the money is not his to spend, the only thing i can see coming out of this appointment is the possible sponsorship development of ICT. I suppose if ROC are as interested in local business development as they claim to be, we might see a few more ROC's about the stadium instead of the breakwater.

ROC Scotland.. Ex Tullochs and a Football fan but no money. Not like Savage & Sutherland. So cant see him bringing any big investments i'm afraid :007:

There's a shock...

Some of the older crew might remember a guy in Inverness called Davie Dunnett, went out with a lass called........ Jane Newitt... Dave Dunnett and Jane Newitt.. :015: The missus tells me there was a chap who worked in Raigmore called Mr Hugh Janus.

Then feck off to county ... moaning bassa.

Fecks sake, we have ourselves a bad run of games so we are now tearing up the season tickets and promising not to come back... wake up and take a deep breath for gods sake.We have no right to expect ICT to be brilliant all season, we dont have the players capable of doing that. What we expect to see a bit of spirit and fight which is what we saw against Aberdeen, unfortunatley for us Russell deemed to think that the game did not require his presence in the second half. Lets face it the team is needing a bit a weeding, faces that dont perform cant be carried despite hero worship from the masses, new blood will be brought in for sure, i for one am totally behind the team.

Know what you mean Gordy, but something had to account for his lack of pace and inability to jump against the like of Nicolson. Ian Black is in the squad for tomorrow.

Seemingly Phil McGuire will be out of the team for the rest of the season after having an operation for a double hernia, goes a long way to explain his lack of form of late. Proctor for the place or maybe Watt will get a chance eh?

:rotflmao: That was a cracker...it really was. Put me down fer a place, Mannie too.

His comments do seem to smack a wee bit of bullsh*it, trying to make everything sound rosy and positive, wish this club were a wee bit more transparent.

Wouldn't take a genius to work that out! It's Chester not Chelsea (reserves)! He should be looking at premiership reserve games/championship and their reserve games! Not a relegation fighting league TWO side! Brewster doesn't have a clue in the transfer market! If you think we can compete with the wages even Premiership reserves are on you need a reality check. The facts are the wages we pay compare with league 2 if yer lucky.

Simply because its easy to chant ' Deano... Deano ' as in 'Keogh...Keogh', its sounds good whether or not the players is any good.

So once again we have a change at the top with David 'yo yo' Sutherland back at the helm, have to say i didnt like Savage very much when i did meet him, and with Mr Sutherland having a wee bit more time on his hands we might see a steadying of HMS Sneck. Maybe Johndo was right all along that there were 'issues' within the higher echelons of the club.

He was at a friends house having dinner :023: Mince & Tatties?

Robbo didnt do any good at Hearts, and was poor at Derry, why would we think he could improve ICT?

Canna really use the sponsors in the team name.. Anyway, what the shortest name? ( no abbreviations please ) Celtic Ajax

:clapping03: Some feckin sense at last.

Well if you know what happemed as you seem to imply, i think you should jump off the high fence you sit on and tell the story as you know it... or are you speculating like the rest of us?
