Council Juice

Yeah it's weird how at one point it seemed like there were a bunch of prospective owners and things were going well to then a long period of silence. No preferred buyer and then the statement from BDO on the 17th stressing that liquidation was a real risk. Is the fog finally clearing and we can find our way forward. Fingers crossed but still cautiously optimistic at best for now.

Think we need to find out if ICT will still be a club next season at this rate. The squad will have to wait at this point. Hopefully we come out the other side and the nucleus of the squad stick around and we can get back to focusing on the pitch.

While it's disappointing not to win and essentially rule us out the Play off spot and virtually secure survival I hope we continue to keep looking up the table and finish as high as possible. Could certainly aim for 6th or 7th. Even push for 5th (though unlikely in 6 games). This season was all about survival after going into admin and the point deduction. (We'd have been title challengers until recently without it so form has been solid) and that's so nearly within reach. Let's get it done.

This is so depressing. Particularly given how well the team have performed on the pitch in spite of all of this. Cmon Polvsen show us the money! Pocket change for you lad.

Touching my wooden forehead as I type this tobavoid jinxing it but if we carry on like this we'll be finishing midtable. Keep the good results coming and hope everything off the pitch takes care of itself in due course.

Great win! That's 3 wins in 5 and only 1 defeat. Let's hope we can keep that form up. Gives us a chance to stay in the division.

Is there any new news? Last I saw we had an abundance of potential suitors according to the administrators and it went quiet since.

Not the first to express this either. Rab Douglas got dingied by him too. Not only dislikeable in general but arrogant. He's probably a proper suck up to his bosses so all they see is sunshine. Everyone else has to suffer though. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/dundee-fc/1268923/rab-douglas-scot-gardiner-dundee-fc-inverness-spfl/

Can the claim libel based on someone's "gut feeling of something say going on"? Be a stretch that. The club hasn't been well run. Well run businesses do not accrue this much debt needing hair brained get rich schemes to bail them out.

The whole Morrison fully funded stuff odds me out. We already had a bunch of shareholder debt. Was another 1.5m of loans going to tide us over in Fife? Then what? What was the next plan? Morrison himself said he didn't know much about running a football club hence why he had Gardiner around. Seems he's clueless to actually running a business as well if he thinks that is remotely sustainable. Just fund it 12 months, get those 6 players, hope to get promoted and then? Expecting a windfall in the championship where we got into serious debt in the first place? Seems Dunc was sold a pipe dream from the off.

Charles can you not just say allegedly a lot? Dinnae buy them Povlson. We're right here. The highland fairytale in all its glory. None of this nonsense. What better represents a Highland rewilding landowner than the team in the capital of the Highlands? You know it makes sense

You still sign your name after all this time Dougal? I agree with you though. I think a good season for us is first surviving as a club and an exceptional one would be staying in L1 with the -15 points. Can forget anything better than that.

Only one I could imagine doing so is Charlie. Or you're just speculating? If he's deferring his wage pre admin that's still a top gesture. If he's helping cover other costs. That's a nice gesture. There's no guarantee he'll ever see deferred wages once the club enters admin though of course he'd rightly be expected to be paid his wages (as everyone employed at the club should) if we come out OK on the other side.

400 a week works out at £10 an hour (based on a 40 hour week). So that's below minimum wage. After tax it's £356 a week. Are they all living rent and bill free? Or would this just be loanees?

Tbf we had 1 point when he was appointed. Granted he wasn't able to arrest the slide but Dodds had long since done the damage on the field. Is he a good manager? Not really. But it was 1 win from safety in the end. The stuff he's done in recent weeks like working for free. Also just read he's been paying for the players petrol and pitching in to hotels away from home. He might not be a great manager but he's been making some big sacrifices for the club where he shouldn't need to and deserves a lot of credit for that. Will be remembered fondly for that if anything.
