Hi, not sure where the 'ill-health' stories are coming from?????

[ (Now could you imagine us up here harbouring equivalently silly ideas about people in the South dressing up in white shell suits and burberry baseball caps and swigging Buckfast whilst spray painting bus shelters on their way to collect their Giros? ) Oh, I see, when did things change? I assumed that was Standard Uniform. :004:

Quality thread!! Al Pacino is Blackie. Dolph Lundgren is Rory Mcallister

In this context, the Highlands and the transport logistics generally tend to be a factor that must be considered when appointing a manager and attracting fans. We have a more expensive and less frequent air service than the central belt and even Aberdeen. The drive up and down the A9 is not always ideal for players/managers who have a settled family life in the central belt either. This is a major factor when people have not experienced living here before.

and you can back up your icons because.......?

Our Vice-Chairman, Graham Bennett, has been 110% behind ICT from day one. Taking the person opinions of him as an individual aside, if we look at the positives - 1. When the other managers over the years have left the club over the years, usually for a bigger salary, he has been here, carrying on with business as usual. No mean task, in particular with something as emmotive and passionate as football. 2. Alan Savage knows exactly what he is doing, afterall, his background is personnel and he has a proven record of making the right choices. 3. Do we think for one minute that the Board have NOT considered all the options? They know that, initially, one of the hardest parts of the recruitment process is to sell the Highlands and the transport logistics. They are fully aware of the risk of going back and also the risk of 'picking a Wild Card' 4. The Board are made up of human beings, we make mistakes but we also are capable of making excellent moves too. Let's reflect on the good that the Board has done over the years, measuring not just in monetary terms, but in media coverage, growth and excellent highlights for, historically, a very young club. 5. Finally, it is was hard for CC to leave, knowing he would be under the spotlight for atleast a couple of weeks. AND, I think it is also very difficult for Brewster to through his hat back in the ring. Afterall, he knows more than anyone the fans will have their reservations. I am sure that his stint at DUFC and at Aberdeen will have wisened him. Lets support the choice made by qualified and experienced men.
