I think Killie gave up a large part of the stadium to Celtic fans when they clinched the title last season
-
We expect our club to go with the fans wishes and vote for sporting integrity when we all know it will have a huge financial impact yet most are not prepared to give up their seats for a perhaps 3 games a season...to be honest if that is the attidute the club is in real danger of dying.
-
I think getting cash for him was more a case of couldnt afford not to rather than short sighted
-
Sad fact of the matter is if ICT don't produce football that is "easier on the eye" again this season the attendances will drop again, its an entertainment business not just a results one and if people aren't getting entertained they will spend what little disposable income they have on other things.
-
Is it simply the case that apart from maybe 3 or 4 clubs Scottish football can't support full time football and will look to part time going forward?
-
What the powers to be have to realise is that while they may be worried about losing cash from sponsors and Sky the largest contributors to the finances of football are the fans themselves and they are in danger of losing them the way things are going

Apparently Ross County abstained

SPL clubs have voted no to the Newco
-
Fans of clubs throughout the country have been asked to buy season tickets on the back of sporting integrity, if any chairman of these clubs does change his mind they have conned the fans

So Rangers don't pay Hearts for Wallace, Hearts can't afford Blacks contract so Rangers sign him....you couldn't make it up
-
Doesn't look like there are a lot of goals in the striking department either, need another striker as well I think
-
To me the biggest example of how the current signing policy is not working is the likes of Tade, never exactly set the heather alight at any club before ICT, was given his opportunity at the top flight with ICT and then refused a new contract and was off at the first chance he had meaning TB had to scurry about looking for a replacement.
-
I think I am correct in saying that ICT played a match last year without one Scottish player in the starting line up, who honestly thought that would happen. I am sure there must be young Scottish talent in the lower leagues that could make the step up, one recent example was Gary Mackay-Stevens, but Butcher's stategy and scouting seems to be the lower leagues in England.

Good luck to all and welcome to ICT
-
Just because he hasnt phoned you personally to tell you what he's doing doesnt mean he's not doing anything. I expect a few announcements to be made by friday. you really believe this Alex ? announcements are all well and good but do you really think we will have a better squad next season ? be honest with yourself Nobody can accurately predict if we are going to have a better squad or not than last season, does anyone really know how good the new signings are going to be?
-
Like many of TB's signings I have no idea but just hope it works out,
-
Not too sure about being bigger than the club IHE but certainly think that someone at the club, at Board level, has to be preapred to stand up against TB, when required. I don't think, should that need to happen, that there is anyone ruthless enough on the board to do this currently. On a slightly related problem, I think that is a major issue for ICT in that the board need a leader who can give direction/vison to the club to take it forward. That is sadly lacking, in my opinion, at the moment. How do we know that nobody in the board does stand up to him? If you are talking about signings or releasing players the board are correct to let TB be free to make those desisions I don't want a board that gets involved in that, a manager live or dies by these desisions and whether they are right or wrong they have to be his. I for am happy with Kenny Cameron at the helm, can you be more specific as to where we are lacking direction and vision?
-
I would like to stay with the stripes. Old fashioned view but i think every club should have a standard strip that is part of their idendity and just a few tweeks here and there every season.
-
I am in the minority that while I think he is a good player I think Aberdeen is probably his level, we shall see.
-
I think that at the present time most will have concerns, I always thought it was really important for us to have a good pre season and things are going slower on the signing side than I and I am sure Butcher had hoped for. Crazy as it may be to many I think keeping Proctor on for his versatility this season may not have been a bad thing

ICT say no to the NEWCO on SSN

Thanks....a heck of a lot of money to replace particularly in the present financial climate.
