Fraz

JH's public criticism of the board was his way of manufacturing his exit. He had the biggest budget of any ICT in history and was moaning publicly about the lack of money. He did well with Butcher's team but couldn't bring in talent himself. He had to go.

Yes. Yes it was.

Richie chose to keep Brian Rice so the decision was his. Though I was told we did try to get someone else before this but they didn't want to come (maybe MM?).

Turns out I wasn't entirely correct - Richard Smith was no longer representing Muirfield Mills when he resigned. Alan McPhee as a member of the Muirfield Mills group took on that role when he joined the board. Richard Smith was kept on as a normal board member due to his business connections and obviously Allied Surveyors are one of our bigger sponsors.

Doubtful any new contracts will be offered until we know for sure what division we're going to be in.

It's most likely that the relegation clause will be a reduction on wages and bonuses. I know that the last time we were relegated the players (at least the ones I spoke to) mentioned this. One of them said it was about 30%. I doubt there's a clause about sacking him if relegated. As I said at the start if the season maybe Richie is the right person for the job but it's the wrong time. One of 2 things should have happened imo. Either he should have gone down to a smaller club for a few seasons to cut his teeth and learn the trade then come in as manager OR he should have been made assistant manager for a few seasons then stepped up. I don't think the board are fully to blame here as nobody put a gun to Richie's head to take the job and he will have known better than anyone the resources available to him over the season. He presumably convinced the board he was the right man. That said the fact that a 4 year deal was given to a completely untested manager is shall we say, most unorthodox! A rolling contract should have been offered. We now have a manager who sadly looks over his head and we can't afford to pay off. Playin the blame game at this stage however doesn't offer solutions and I've got no fecking idea on that front. Some of the comments on Facebook are hilarious though!

I realise that Muirfield Mills did input a quarter million and in return got a seat at the board. I've never heard of any of any repeat funding however. Regardless, surely all that will happen is that Muirfield Mills will choose a replacement person as their entitlement to a board position will not have changed?

Meh. I don't think this will make any difference one way or another.

I'm keen like.

*you're

I guess you should really sit where your ticket says. However if you want to stand common sense dictates to do so at the top of the stand, usually North Stand section E.

Don't worry, they would do absolutely nothing.

During a match most Invernessians sit on their suites in their lounge watching the Old Firm.

Go for 2 I've got no issue with putting my my name to a colored dot on a football forum.

£15 travel and a free ticket? Nice! No excuses for not selling out of first to score.

Absolutely. It's just like when I have an issue with my Internet connection, I put a post up in an unofficial forum and expect BT to get in touch, when they don't I get all upset and repeat my complaint ad nauseum. I certainly wouldn't contact BT directly to try and resolve it, that would be ridiculous.

Aye it's been a pish start to the season, we should absolutely be spending money we don't have on players we can't afford. That always ends well for clubs.

If you say so chief.

Needs some Velociraptors imo. And maybe like Chuck Norris.

Pretty sure they charge us £23 normally. A whole 2 quid difference. County fans seem to look for any excuse not to come. I'll never forget that New Years game where they must have taken about 400. lol

Just Paid.

I'll sort mine out after payday.

I'm sure they'll send out info of all events in due course to the U 12 season ticket holders' parents. I haven't heard anything yet but it's pretty early days.

Incredibly lazy guy by all accounts.
