Does anyone know if BDO intend to run the bidding process as an auction? Ie someone could make a counter bid to AS and then he could reply with a higher offer? Surely this will be the case. If not, I’d worry that someone else outbids AS and that’s that.

Obviously finishing well clear of the relegation zone would be the preference, but a bit of extra revenue from the lower playoffs might help the coffers…not sure we operate at a profit though so that might not be true. The sadist in me wants to play Elgin in the playoff final, then beat them at home to stay up. Imagine the craic in that

What about the land at Harbour Rd/Burnett Rd? Parking issues are obvious (more land to the south of Burnett Rd) but perhaps enough space for a scaled down stadium there. Handy for the police station for when the old firm come and visit and the fire service can put the flares out. AS buys up the Inverness Golf Centre to make a new social club right next door.

The letter from the JA’s goes to show how much Alan Savage has done, and possibly will do, to help keep us afloat. What a shame (for all concerned) if we have to liquidate after all this. A gutting update.

A great spot ymip. It goes to show how well County’s scouting network is functioning!

North of Scotland beat Glasgow 5-4 in the Scottish Schools Cup to progress to the semi final. Hope these young lads are at least on the fringes of ICT’s radar!

Just listened to Kel’s interview, wow. I came away feeling brilliant having listened to it. I was a doubter, now I’m absolutely not. Please let this resurgence continue under Kel, things feel like we are ‘Inverness’ again!

I’d like to know, on balance, how much money the streaming service generated or could generate post-Covid. The moratorium extending down the leagues means clubs can’t make cash from this, whilst not receiving much benefit from the TV deal that has the hold.

Imagine a relegation playoff final against Elgin, and surviving. That would be great fun against that bunch of mugs

Brilliant to see the two young western isles lads on the score sheet! Also the ICT social media team were brilliantly on point in posting “siri, play Western Isles by Peat and Diesel”…need to have that tune at the Caledonian Stadium to encourage them!

This. Morrison has an interest in avoiding administration for sure.

Got to entertain the investor, the points deduction from administration will see us relegated so at the very least we will be a league higher next season if we make it to the end of this one with the investor. Maybe Savage wants administration to take full control afterwards, but he hasn’t said that explicitly if I’m right.

Dunc working for free will ensure he survives administration I suspect. Whatever happens it’s a gamble for Dunc, if he is sacked then his career in management is surely over given his previous management efforts. If we keep him on with £0 salary/minimum salary and fail thereafter, his career is over. The only way to save his career is to succeed and win, a tough task indeed given the circumstances. We’ve not seen any prospect of loan players coming from Everton, given his previous there you’d think there should be solid potential in that link. If I was Dunc I’d be begging Everton to release 4 or more quality players on loan to help us survive administration until the end of the season. If we were to survive a -15 point deduction from administration then there’s something to be said for that, it would be a big feat given our current position.

I liked the chat about raiding the Highland League for the best players, there’s surely a good few that could step up to League 2 or maybe a handful to League 1. Feels sustainable in terms of finances and club identity. What about putting an ICT scout in touch with fans connected to the Highland or North Caledonia league? Surely no harm to come of that.

The thing that irks me most about the meeting was the response to the question over the fans donations to the crowdfunding campaign. It was stated that the funds will be used for running costs, but administration is all but inevitable. Therefore the funds will be lost and won’t be able to contribute to a positive cause (save ICT??), why ask fans to contribute when even Alan Savage is saving his money for the administration process? Basically I dont think it’s a ‘Save ICT’ fund at all. The crowd fund should be ring fenced and used when we reincarnate.
