Alistair Stark, Andrew Macrae and Daniel Hoban - all from U20s so not quite transfers but signings nevertheless.

Yeh they're not the best at keeping a secret 

They are!!!!! Its every one else that tells them

Has he actually signed anything?

Falkirk fans and thier manager seem to think so.

Peter Houston was on on the ball today apparently confirming it but nothing official from us yet

Thought I'd start a transfer thread in its own right for the up coming season. 

Any new players coming in can be listed here along with our thoughts on how they will fit in

Spot on. Im as happy clappy as they come but this is shabby pure and simple 

Not necessarily as who knows whats really happened.

Big Dunc is obviously a legend up here but and i am just playing devils advocate here in defense of our club what if he was just a wee bit bitter at losing his role and this story has been embelished knowing about the previous pr blunder. 

Just sayin we shouldn't be ready as fans to tarnish the clubs name when not one of us actually knows what really happened.

How about we just go for:

• Director of Football: Steve Paterson
• Manager: Terry Butcher
• Assistant: Maurice Malpas
• Attack Coach: Richie Foran
• Technical Coach: Charlie Christie
• Fitness Coach: Craig Brewster
• Defence Coach: Sergie Baltacha
• Youth Coach: John Robertson

Actually, that's not bad! I'm sure they'd all get on (I think they might!)

No place for our cup winning manager John Yogi Hughes 

I like to think it was my email that worked haha

Cheers. Someone gave me chairmans direct email so have sent of an email the size of war and piece and await patiently a reply.

I wasn't sure that an Email would actually be seen by the Chairman.  That is why I wrote to him personally.  He may of course choose to ignore it, but for now, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and look forward to a reply in due course.

I have address now and let you know if it is replied to

Does any one have an email address for the club/chairman.

I would also like to convey my feelings directly to them about what i feel is truly shocking treatment of the fans since the final days of last season.

It's not just the season ticket prices which is imho wholly unacceptable and damaging to the club. 

For me more damage though is the complete lack of communication in any kind about all the new challenges we now face as a club.

I will want answers to why there has been nothing coming from the club and whilst i appreciate the chairman was on holiday, somebody at the club is left in charge and to that end acting as an official spokesperson for media or even on our own site.

Why do they feel that those prices are acceptable in a lower league and with less games for your money.

There are too many more to write here but any official email address would be appreciated just so i can vent my frustrations directly to those who in my eyes are responsible for this omnishambles currently.

I'm not sure I want to pay extortionate prices to watch a team managed by Gus McPherson or Maurice Malpas.

The fact of the matter is, as I alluded to on the other thread -  we might all care about the club but the club cares for us not a jot.  We aren't valued fans, we're just a number and a customer.  Your club doesn't care about you, they only care for your cash.

Its been this way for a few years now unfortunately.

The only time the club communicates with us fans is when they are wanting money off us.

Am sorry but until i know what am getting for my money in terms of managers and players etc. I wont be parting with any season ticket money.

Had a few glasses of Chardonnay one evening (by her own admission) then decided to contribute to this forum!

Please. Continue, i missed this.

I would like Alex Neil but doubt it somehow.

I think it will be Sheerin or Hartley

I hope it's not one of the regular managerial merry go round dinosaurs

Nobody better say Jimmy Calderwood or Mark mcgee 

Yup its a sad end for a true club legend but not undeserved after last season.

Hope he moves on to good things in his pastures new.

Best of luck to him for the future he does deserve it really, he was just out of his depth.

It's not Brian Rice's fault we were relegated so what's good for one should be the same for the other. The board should get a  pair and do what the fans desperately want - A NEW FEKIN MANAGER

Whether you like it or not Rice was a Hughes boy and him hanging around is imvho part of the problem and needs to the go. 

Whether i like it or not, as i was excited at Forans appointment, it has not worked at all and he also needs to go

Sheerin now being linked with post if Foran goes.  

This should kick the boards arse into clarification one way or other now then as they would surely want to confirm or deny the stv report.

They will now uave to publically back Richie and say there was/is no interest in Sheerin or sack Richie and start preparing for season ahead.

Interesting devolpment or Tyrone Smith been reading forums

I quite like all of these.

Away one is different to anything we've had before 

Hope the quality is better than some Errea strips of the past

He retired from the game about 30 years ago, so I very much doubt he'll be fit for Saturday.

Billy Mckay, however, is carrying a niggle and may/may not be fit (confirmed to the press by the manager this afternoon).

At the risk of the ban hammer. What a pedantic k**b the top half of your answer makes you look 

Anyone at the under 20 match yesterday can tell us how Kev played/looked.

Any chance if 1st team action this season, or whats left of it anyway?

News on our former assistant Russell Latapy. Trinidad & Tobago got a new manager in December and in early January he appointed Latapy as one of his Assistant Coaches. They lost 2 games in a week and the manager resigned. Latapy was shortlisted and interviewed for the post, but didn't get it.

Get Brian Rice to feck and bring back Russell.

I am not even going to express an opinion on the original question, but I really can't allow this nonsense about Scott Kellacher and Brian Rice to go unremarked. I am fully in agreement with Old Caley Girl's question a few posts ago - where is the evidence? Quite frankly Cable Guy's subsequent attempt to provide some is totally laughable. Would Cable Guy blame the Archbishop of Canterbury for the Great Train Robbery because he happened to be staying at a hotel nearby? Then you get the justification prefaced by "I quite often pass by Fort George and see the players playing...." which plumbs completely new depths of absurdity. This whole notion is straight out of a "Depute Heads Will Roll" storyline from Yes Minister. In fact as I write, Row S has just posted, giving me the inspiration to come up with the somewhat more credible notion of blaming the vanilla top!

The situation:- Inverness Caledonian Thistle sits three points adrift at the bottom of the Premiership and five points adrift of 10th place (both plus goal difference). To reach the kind of points total that will avoid finishing bottom, the team needs to take more or less as many points from its last 15 games as it has so far from its first 23... and more than that to avoid a relegation play-off, most probably against Dundee United.

The reason?: There is no single reason and I believe that what is happening at the moment is the kind of perfect storm of several adverse circumstances, some long term, some short term, which very often accompanies extreme situations like this. To remain consistent with my opening sentence, I will refrain from confirming or denying what I believe these circumstances to be.

Nonsense.

There us a quite clear timeline between our downturn in form and Brian Rice tenure at the club.

Whether Richie stays or goes i am of a definate view that Rice needs to go and go soon

Well he's sayin we're not aimin for top 6 now and were un a relegation battle now. 

Really tearing into the players also. No bottle. Not good
