Given where we are, this has to be a welcome development. It does, however, as CaleyD and Charles point out, raise some significant questions, especially for those of us with little knowledge of business law. As a minor shareholder, I don't have a problem with losing my shareholding if it helps to save the club. What I don't understand is why AS feels the need to have 100% of the shares or what the mechanism would be to legally and rapidly, transfer all the shareholding to his new company. History has shown, that whenever the Board has a vote at the AGM, the vast majority go along with the Board, even though people may have reservations about what the Board is doing. Given more recent history, shareholders might not be quite so trusting in the future, but with people in charge with a better track record, the Board is still likely to get the benefit of any doubt from shareholders. If the shares are transferred from Inverness Thistle and Caledonian FC Ltd to the new company, then I am assuming that the club (Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC) and assets also transfer over. This would mean that the current company would cease to trade and the current Directors are history. If so, then it begs the question of who the Directors of the new company might be. I guess much would depend on who is prepared to put money into the club and the discussions AS will have with them and others. I am sure the Supporters Trust will be in discussion behind the scenes regarding their position. It seems to me that AS has been working well with the Trust and he has seen first hand the excellent work they have been doing for the club. There really must be a greater fan influence and input into the club going forward, and therefore I would have though AS's plans should include a stronger position for the Supporter's Trust than his proposals currently suggest. It would have been good if AS could have said that whilst Board membership will depend on how things progress, it would be his intention to have a Supporter's Trust representative on the Board.

Talking of certainties, Dumbarton are now definitely relegated as their failure to win today means they can't catch Annan.

We've edged a point further away from Annan, which is positive, but after such a bright start it seemed like a defeat when we all trooped out of the stadium. In truth, we should have scored 4 what with hitting the woodwork twice and missing a penalty. We could have eased out as comfortable winners but as it was, we were lucky to escape with a draw with Alloa hitting the woodwork and having a goal ruled off towards the end. Remi's red card will likely have an impact in the games he'll miss, but I think we have enough quality and desire in the team to keep ahead of Annan.

He’s in the starting lineup for Malta in their World Cup qualifier against Finland tonight.

Maybe we can get Donald Trump to broker a deal?

So, if the major creditors are "willing to do what is right by the club" and there are potential investors who are not willing to put in an offer because of the level of debts owed to creditors, what's the problem? What have the administrators been doing for the past few months beyond raking in a lot of Alan Savage's money? It is surely reasonable for the creditors to be involved in some level of discussion with potential investors. If that were that to happen, then the creditors' stated willingness to write off most of their loans can be put to the test.

Well said, Charles. Morrison has been spectacularly incompetent over his time as Chairman and now wants others to dig deep into their pockets to pay back his loan. Has the man absolutely no shame at all? He is not the only one to blame though. There would have been no secured loan unless his colleagues on the Board agreed to it. They, surely also have some moral responsibility to dig deep into their pockets to get the club out of the mess that they helped to create. There are a lot of people at the club, from Alan Savage to matchday volunteers who are doing a brilliant job trying to save the club. It is heartbreaking to think that all their efforts could be for nothing at the end of the day. The club certainly can still be saved as there are people who would be keen to put money into the club. The thing is, they are not prepared to pay £1.5M to the man who got the club into this mess. Nobody should loan money that they can't afford to lose. It is time that Morrison accepted that the money is gone. In accepting that, he could make sure the club does not disappear as well. Come on, man. A city is waiting for you to finally do the decent thing.

I didn't hear it, but as I shareholder I can say I have not received any communication. Communications have previously been sent electronically. If it has been put in the post, I might be able to provide an update sometime next week!

Absolutely brilliant performance. After a terrific early goal, Stenhousemuir got themselves back in the game and then Bavidge had to go off with an injury. I thought then that despite the early flourish, it might not be our night. How wrong I was! The effort from all the players was excellent. They were always looking to get the ball forward and there were several passages of quick and accurate passing which caused a good Stenhousemuir side all sorts of problems. What a contrast to the early part of the season! Big Dunc should watch a video of the game so that he can understand why he's still out of a job. We should beat Annan at the weekend. If we do, we will be 8 points clear of them with just 7 games left and a vastly superior goal difference. If we can maintain this level of performance then we should be mathematically safe from relegation comfortably before the end of the season. Achieving that status might be a key factor in sorting out issues off the field earlier than might otherwise be the case.

And it's obviously working. After all, everyone went mental after Alfie scored on Saturday!

We've played better, but I thought we deserved to win. We were over-cautious in the first half as if we were worried that committing players forward would provide opportunities for the in-form Stirton if we lost possession. In truth, he barely got a look in all afternoon. We were more positive in the 2nd half and created a lot of opportunities but the ball didn't quite run for us in the box. The stats of 16 attempts on goal and 7 corners does not suggest an overall lack of positivity. When we finally got the goal it was an absolute stunner. Remi had been playing safe balls all afternoon, but he suddenly played a great cross-field ball to Danny Devine who, for some reason, had popped up on the right of the opposition box. He played it side-footed on the volley behind the defenders and Keith Bray met it with a superb diving header and past a bemused keeper. Surely up there with the best goals we've ever scored. Whilst disappointing not to win, I am confident that we have the quality and desire in the squad to be comfortably clear of the threat of relegation by the end of the season.

I think The Rangers' problems go deeper than the coaching staff. Think they need a new CEO. Does anyone know of a CEO who has lost his job recently?

Interesting interviews from the 2 managers. I don't know what game Murphy was watching but his interview was sh*te from start to finish. It is pretty disrespectful too, but it is such nonsense that instead of feeling annoyed or angry, one can't help laughing. Scott has it absolutely spot on though. A very honest, objective and intelligent take on the game.

I'm quite happy to see Annan and particularly, Dumbarton winning. There's not a chance Dumbarton are going to catch us, and if they are winning, other teams a little above will be losing. If we continue with our post-Dunc points per game ratio, then we might well make the promotion play-offs. What a brilliant job Scott is doing with the boys!

Great win today. QOS were a pretty physical side but everyone worked hard and supported each other. Longstaff put in a brilliant shift given that he was just returning from injury. We didn't have too many attempts on goal, but at times later in the 2nd half, we played some nice intricate build up play which didn't quite come off. Both defences played well giving opponents little time on the ball. The referee was awful. Great support from the youngsters in section C which the players really appreciated.

Looks like the age group of those attending was much the same as those who attend for the Cathedral's main activity.
