Contract Situation
I hope not. We need him. Also how can you judge that Fisher hasn't cut it at this level. He played half a game for us then got injured. Second your comment on Billy McKay is a bit out. He scored 54 times for us in 121 games. Thats 2.24 games per goal. Hes scored 12 in 26 games at United. Thats 2.16 games per goal. Sam Winnall ony made two starts for us and he was on loan.

I believe the question is aimed at whoever steals other peoples comments on Twitter and posts them on FB in the name of Inverness Loyal Army. In other words plagiarism

Inverness CT -V- Kilmarnock
Attendances for most games back to 2004/5 can be found on this site. Look in Teams/Fixtures. Lowest 'home' league crowd at Pittodrie was 1125 v Dundee United 23rd Nov 2004. A Tuesday night. Lowest home crowd at TCS prior to relegation was 3021 v Livingston Saturday May 7th 2005. Lowest crowd in 09/10 season was 2008 v Airdrie on Tuesday night 23rd March 2010. Lowest crowd since coming back into Prem is 2366 v Motherwell on April 1st 2014. Again a Tuesday night. So yes Sundays game v Killie is the new Premier league record low attendance

There certainly isn't any rainy day fund. Accounts to 15 May 2015 showed a profit of £254k Year before was £28k and each season before that we ran at break even or loss. Last year our income was roughly £4.65 million Our costs including wages £4.4 million. That didnt include Christie sale or Cup moneys. It'll be interesting to see how the books balance this year. As to Hughes strategy. I'm as baffled as anyone but inclined to think 1. Waiting to see exactly what position we finish before committing. 2. Offload a couple of high earners in the hope its easier to get loan defenders than strikers and have a bigger offer for striker. Being cynical here but I wonder if a certain Mr Stokes could be on the radar when his loan at Hibs is over. Dont know if he's got much left on Celtic contract

Caption Competition 1
Aye. Looks like he's being ousted to make way for forwards. Personally I'd have dumped Horner and kept Raven but I'm not the manager

EFFC moved stadium to Methyl docks in 98 Scarlet. They have one all seater stand that holds 1980 bums and they also hire in temporary stands for expected big crowds.

Attendances
Very true and since Ross County reached the Premiership there have been a lot more travelling across the bridge from Inverness every other week

Where Now?
There are sixteen or seventeen teams capable of competing in top flight. As performances go just now all bar four are very much a match for each other. Everyone of those teams can take points from and lose points to every other and from time to time take points from the top four. We're all in the same boat so surviving in top league has to be the main aim with anything higher being a bonus

Where Now?
Where now? I think last season we achieved probably the best we are likely to achieve in terms of league position and big cup win. I dont see us, or any other team, being in a position to match Celtic and Rangers to win this league. Another Europa run, with maybe getting past the first stage, would be a step forward but for me survival each season is where I'd want to be.

Richie Foran new manager
What did any manager know before they took the first step? Christie, Brewster, Robertson and every other manager in football started somewhere. Those I've named cut their teeth at ICT and didn't actually do a bad job in the beginning.

Season 16-17 and beyond
Fortnight waiting list for lunch at McD. They have one of the best lotteries in the land and as CaleyD says their conferencing and astroturf facilities are booked solid.
-
You're the manager, what do you do?
I dont think 22-24 is a big squad. Apart from the injury thing I think it drives players to work hard and win their place in the team on match day. Without competition for places the work-rate could suffer.
-
You're the manager, what do you do?
Yes but assuming the injury list of this season can you really expect to be playing youth players twice a week which is what would have happened?

Summer Transfer Window Thread
According to this article we are third bottom ahead of Partick and County http://stv.tv/sport/football/1321105-celtics-average-wage-bill-is-25-times-higher-than-ross-countys/ I dont know where they got the figures from or how they worked out player wages over company wages (Players and staff)

HEARTS GAME OFF
The cynic in me notes that 22 players were in U-21 national squad and yet only two carried the bug back to their team. Both of these from the same team. No epidemic at Reading, Celtic, Inverness, Bradford, Rangers, Aberdeen, Falkirk, Dundee U, Man U or Sporting Clube de Portugal. Maybe it has something to do with deficiencies in immune system being as they are from Edinburgh

Sixth Place IMPERATIVE
Now that the split is known I'd hope the fixtures would be out monday

You're the manager, what do you do?
A squad of 17? Thank christ we had more than 17 this season or we'd have been forfeiting the majority of our games. Personally I think 22/24 is a decent number
