No doubt The Builder will come to our rescue or maybe make some think he has out if his love of football

Doubt the Builder will have any influence when KC goes

More like the Crane man or the flesh peddler will pick up the club for £1

Pity all of these guys couldn't have pulled together for the good of the club rather than for their egos and we would be in a better situation than most clubs of our size.

We've seen a straw floating by and are hanging on to it for grim life. If it is a straw and not a brick. I am sure there is more to this than is being let on, but we will only find out in the summer. Three in a bed can't last, but who will be the one to leave? Could be any one of the three monkeys. 

Or all 3 !

Director of football in everything but name !

Unless----the relegation of ICT will necessitate the injection of funds into the club from the directors? ----  

"Ulp--didn't think of that when I joined the board, don't you know ! "

Since Allied Surveyors has been one of the main club sponsors over last few years doubt that will be the reason.

It's not that long ago we had Duncan and Kel in temp charge.  Tho they must be ok what they do, Brian Rice is probably the best and cheapest temp ootion. I would do it now but the board have stuck their heads in the sand so they must face the financial cost of relegation and either get thir hands into their pockets or resign.

Rumour has it that some did resign this week at the routine meeting !

regarding hands into pockets unlikely as no sugar daddy at our club unlike County who had another £800k written off in latest accounts

ICT may have some Brilliant coaches in the school's & doing other activities but at the end of the day there objective is to produce players capable of going in2 the 1st team apart from Christie , Ross & Polly the number of players coming up through the ranks at the club is shocking compared to other teams.

You mean County as they are the only team who have the same dynamics as ICTFC

Blythswood charity shop in Academy St. have another nice collectable in stock. They still have a couple of signed shirts too if anyone's interested.

Better writers than current squad

er - I think that's what I said.  It's the same statement.  But what the statement does not do is to to say that the Board has given its backing to Foran although the headline suggests it does.

Agree and normally the devil is in the detail and we are not privy to that!!!!

The fact that the County development squad are 4 points clear at the top of the Scottish Development league table with 3 games to go suggests there is plenty of talent in the Highlands.

Do they not regularly play overage players whilst we have a very young squad.

always get conflicting views as friends sons think the ICTFC coaches are brilliant. Having no kids who attend difficult to comment with any authority

Agreed, if the board feel the need to issue a statement effectively stating that it's businesses as normal that strikes me as a sure indication that it is a long way from being so.

Yep in football terms business as normal means something abnormal is about to happen . A vote of confidence in manager on Friday generally means he is sacked on Monday 

Just now, caleyboy said:

Agreed but look how it ended. 

Not the Blazers fault I am led to believe

Doubt it as KM knows too much about the game and wouldn't work for the "blazers" we have.

Hughes did and made a pretty good fist of it

The board didn't win the scottish cup, take us into Europe or led us to our highest ever league finish. Butcher and Hughes take the credit for that. If what you state is true about Foran's contract why didn't this wonderful board sack him before now? Sorry but I still feel Sutherland is involved behind the scenes and until he and his cronies get out we will not attract anyone with money. They decided to appoint Foran so they are responsible for our situation. You just can't take credit for success and not take the rap for failure!

If the board get no credit for appointing Butcher or Hughes by that logic they do not take the rap for appointing Foran .

i would however agree it was a rather more risky strategy than the former pair

Going by the negative responses on here & other social media after yesterday's game, perhaps Richie's name should be added to see what the fans think. Release or retain???

Release Monday!!!

Was he not approached when Hughes was appointed and indicated he wasn't interested.

would be a great appointment but doubt it will happen he must be on a wage way higher than our resource.

Wholesale change needed. We're going down. Sack the board. We need investment, new ideas, new direction. 

That will be the same board who steered the club to league cup final,Scottish cup win and Europe. Also the board who gave Hughes shed loads of money which he blew on s***e players admittedly.

From another thread on this forum appears Ritchie is not on a 4 year contract so can be sacked with very little compensation.

No big money hitters left in Inverness area who haven't been previously involved with the club so new ideas and management a must.

SACK THE BOARD 

And keep the same players and manager . That will make a massive difference and I don't think !

A thread asking what a real 8 person board of directors would look like may throw up a good debate 

 Trump as chairman

Putin as CEO

then what?

Nah, County have Roy McGregor who literally throws money at the club, We have nobody, in fact we can't even give shares away!!   Sandy Catto's shares are still awaiting a bidder!  

There is something wrong at our club. 

There is ! primarily no money

Our demise is nothing to do with any central belt conspiracy but everything to do with naive and inexperienced management of players who are better than our current position would suggest.

My comment was a little tongue in cheek although results elsewhere on a number of occasions certainly have done us no favours . However the issues do lie with ictfc as you say.

With the ugly sisters helping their central belt cousins not a chance !( conspiracy theory again)

On the optimistic side, the two St Johnstone players will be banned for being red carded and won't play against us next Saturday.

Will it not be the mid week game they miss?

The ICT board are to blame for the predicament we find ourselves in, I know I've called for Foran to quit on the matchday thread but they are ultimately responsible for putting a man in a managerial position without managerial experience

An absolutely ludicrous decision and if Foran does go they should also stand down with immediate effect as they don't have the clubs best interests at heart

Dougal 

Hopefully after that you will step in as the new Chairman and we will make the final stages of the champions league in 2 years looking forward to it
