Red White and Blue

Instead of asking supporters what they think might happen, ask them what they want to happen.

I think the most sensible solution woul be a petition to the CEO.

Maybe there's nothing in this, but when Todorov scored securing a point for the team in the late stages of the game, only one player congratulated him. Any one else notice this?

Scottish government are banning gatherings of people of over 500 from Monday. Unless the season is played behind closed doors that's it finished.

Simple. Just put 400 tickets up for sale.  Better than playing behind closed doors.

"Caley Thistle’s Aaron Doran and John Robertson have scooped the Championship player and manager of the month awards for March."

A big well done to both of them. Surprised no one has mentioned this yet

According to BBC stats, not one shot on target from ICT until Daniel McKay came on and brought out a save from their keeper. Surely now he should be given a start on Saturday.

 In fact, it appears that he was part of the problem with his wages. 

Totally disagree with this statement. You can't blame the players for looking to get the best deal for themselves. The Board are/were wholly responsible for the purse strings and therefore the current financial situation.

Is anyone aware of managers/coaches using Biorhythms in conjunction with a player's fitness level? Biorhythms are based on your date of birth and the three main cycles of physical (23 days), emotional (28 days) and mental (33 days) Here's a link to explain further - http://www.igbio.com/whatar fot those not familiar with them.

Looking at a player's  Biorhythm on match days could determine whether picking a player with high levels  may be preferential to picking one with low or lower levels given that they have similar footballing abilities

 Has anyone got any thoughts on this?

Is Raven injured or dropped?

Quote from Alex Fisher -  

“If I am part of the plans then I would like to get involved. I’m not sure when we will have that chat as I don’t know what is going on regarding the board and positions so I guess I have to wait for that to settle down before they start looking at players for next year.

“That conversation may be a few days away.”

Looks like Fisher may be keen to stay on. Would suggest that he is one of our maim priorities for retaining next season.

"American billionaire, Michael Eisneer, has made a £5.67m offer to buy 100% of Portsmouth FC recently promoted to League One and invest another £10m in Equity."

Oh how we could be doing with that kind of investment right now!

Is this a wind up or could there be some truth in the matter.

On Michael Eisneer (Wikipedia) -

"In March 2017, it was revealed that Eisner was interested in a takeover of Portsmouth F.C - a football club in the south of England that had fallen on hard times.."

"After college in 1964, he met his future wife, Jane Breckenridge,^[4] a Unitarian of Swedish and Scottish descent.."

I have no insight into what goes on behind the scenes at the club but can't help observe that when John Hughes first arrived our form and results both dipped considerably.

Then Russell Latapy arrived and his presence coincided with an upturn in fortunes including, in his only full season at the club, our best ever league finish, qualifying for Europe for the only time in our history and, of course, our historic Scottish Cup win.

Russell departs and is replaced by Brian Rice and our form and results worsen and have declined increasingly rapidly ever since. I don't know the answer but can't help wondering is that mere coincidence ?

Totally agree with the above. I said before Richie was appointed that Russel Latapy as Manager and Richie as Assistant would be a good choice. It seems that Russel Latapy is still looking for his first Managerial post.

Stuart Golabek  - Manager at Brora Rangers with Grant Munro as Assistant.

There was a young man called Hughes

Who got too big for his shoes

When asked about Raven

said "he's no worth saving"

but Cameron said "I'll be the one to choose"

Not saying that I would agree with this option, more that what the Board might be thinking as a way of a cheap solution to the problem.

With the club on a tight budget and having to pay out to release Yogi, it might make sense to them to retain him as assistant and appoint Foran as manager thus freeing up a wage for another player and not having to pay more money for a new assistant as well as giving Foran an experienced voice to work alongside him.

Anyone know if Brian Rice has been released along with Yogi or is he still currently the assistant manager?

Excerpt from a Russel latapy interview in The Scotsman - 6th March, 2016

"The mood turns slightly more serious when he contemplates his current situation, which could be described as being between jobs. He walked away from Inverness before the beginning of this season, explaining to Hughes that he wished to manage in his own right, rather than be an assistant.

He planned to be back in work by the end of the year. “I do miss Scottish football and football in general, but it was a decision I made at the time and you have to stick by them,” he says. “I left Inverness at a peculiar time, when it was the beginning of the season and everyone pretty much had their teams. I was hoping that maybe by December I would be back in the game.

“I know I will be back in the game by the beginning of next season. I’ve already had a few offers that have not been right for me, although not in Scotland. These have been in Portugal and the Caribbean. But next season I will definitely be back.”

He believes his ambitions are being frustrated through no fault of his own. There is a persistent suspicion black managers are not being given the chance to show what they can do in British football – and Latapy subscribes to this view. In Scottish football, where Latapy would most like to manage, the absence of black managers is as stark as anywhere, perhaps starker."

Was part of the management team that took us to 3rd in the league an won the Scottish cup. Well worth a shout with Foran as Assistant

 

Russel Latapy with Richie Foran as assistant!

I thought he was good at Reading, but he upset the fans big time by leaving to 'better himself' at a bigger club!

He may be good at reading but he's a crap manager!

.....or Dickie and Chippie!!!
