Mitch Curry officially leaves Boro so the inevitable will happen tomorrow............ 😛

Wasn't today (July 1), Shane Sutherland's first day back at ICT after signing a pre contract a few months ago ?

I agree with you regarding having a look at young Frank Ross because it's the sort of age range we should be looking at signing :). A disagree with your point regarding Curry and Sutherland though, we need to give Sutherland a chance, I mean, he scored lots for Elgin so he's not a bad player and knows where the net is. Plus Curry needs to be given a chance, be it at us or wherever he goes. At least its gone quiet on Jonny Hayes lol, everybody knows he's Tannadice or Pittodrie bound, anyone that thinks otherwise is crazy :-P.

We won't know for definite until June 22 according to STV :O. Also, they are useless lol as they said ITS LIKELY to be Kelty and Brora coming up, surely they could have said it WILL be them 🤔

Why the hell would I know, I'm not even from Inverness 🙄

What does our current squad look like It would be good if someone posted a list of who we have under contract :).

Yeah, I agree with you Rig, and to an extent Lightlamp2 (but its highly unlikely). in fact, my worry now turns to two things: 1) Having a squad capable of being successful next season 2) The worry of JR leaving for Hearts or St J. Some will say its not likely but, to do you really think SG/RM would turn down compensation by saying no to these 2 clubs, IF they came in for him??

I've been over on Jambos Kickback most of this week and that word "forced reconstruction" has been mentioned a few times :O. They reckon that the Spfl cannot afford the compensation bill so will ask clubs to help pay for it, which will then lead to clubs going bust, hence why chairman will be forced to vote yes in order to save their clubs.

ICTFC launch new kit & sponsor Club CEO Scot Gardiner said “I am delighted to conclude this prestigious partnership for the club and having worked closely with the team at PUMA in previous years, I know very well the reputation of this worldwide sportswear brand and the quality of their product.” “We have looked at the first 25 years of ICTFC kit and we believed that it was time to try and recapture an identity for our home kit in particular. The many people we discussed previous years designs with all seemed to be thinking along the same lines and I hope the fans are in agreement.” Also joining the club as significant new partners are Intelligent Land Investments. Intelligent Land Investments, or ILI is a green energy group, based in Hamilton, with a history of successful renewable developments. It is currently planning the £600 million Red John pumped storage hydro scheme at Dores, just south of Inverness. They will be the main shirt sponsor of the club with their company logo emblazoned on both home and away jerseys New Strip, indeed by Puma...... View full article

I'm pretty sure it's got to be, either 14-14-16 or 14-14-14 but I still want 4 leagues so 14-10-10-10.

This has a long way to run yet! Ayr want a TWENTY TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP (:ohmy:) and Roy Mcgregor seems to be willing to change his mind and BACK Ann Budge's proposal. This mess should have been avoided if the CEO of the league stopped pandering to the Old Firm and stupid TV companies! I've said this many times, most fans of the game up here want bigger leagues so that we stop playing each other 4 bloody times a season. For me it's 14-14-16 so Kelty and Brora rightly get rewarded with promotion. It's time that pundits such as Michael Stewart or Darren Fletcher have a say in our game, now I'm not saying we get rid of Neil Doncaster etc but they are not football men!

That's a very worrying am of players so I really hope that they get clubs as soon as they can because I don't like to see anyone jobless, especially at this moment in time during a crisis. I really hope we don't release that many :-(.

I do agree with the bit I've bolded but it does just need to be a couple. Anyway, I'm thinking, what would our squad look like if we promoted a few of the youngsters that are deserving of a step up. GK: Ridgers, Cameron Mackay and Daniel Hoban DF: Kevin McHattie, Lewis Toshney, Bradley Mackay, Cameron Harper, Jack Brown MF: Aaron Doran, Tom Walsh, Sean Welsh, Roddy Mcgregor, James Vincent, David Carson ST: Nikolay Todorov, Daniel Mackay, James Keatings, Miles Storey and Shane Sutherland. That's as far as I've got as I don't know any other youngster capable of the step up.

So basically now, we have to worry about Hearts and Dundee, both of who are likely to be looking to finish ahead of us in the table :(. And in top of that, the fear of losing John Robertson is heightening as its expected that Daniel Stendel will use his relegation release clause and resign. Plus we will end up losing more players :(, next season could be a real struggle!

I really hope that we now give our youngsters a chance. I understand that the gaffer may well be looking at what's available, if it's at all possible to sign players during this unprecedented times (it's possible as White is departing, likely to Motherwell). I really rate players such as Cammy Mackay, Cameron Harper, Roddy Mcgregor and young Daniel Mackay. If there is any other young guys that I've missed out that could make the step up then feel free to mention them here (I don't check news on the youth team but, from next season I might start to), the above names are ones that have been in the first team match squad at times last season. Anyway, I'd love Tremarco to join the coaching staff or return as manager in the future

https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/john-robertson-unfinished-business-hearts-manager-and-league-reconstruction-doubts-2552496. Ignore the part about reconstruction. I'd be very worried about the other main part of the headline :(, never mind players being signed or sold etc. Discuss your thoughts on that :(.

Ah come on, Robbo has won me over and basically because he gets the best out of what he has! To say he's a failure is pathetic, his first year he ended 5th, only a point behind the last play off place, last season, only County and Utd were ahead of us and this season, only Utd and they were miles ahead. Add the cup quarters, semis and challenge cup final he has got us too, one thing he certainly isn't, is a failure! As for rebuilding, I also disagree with that as only a 2-3 players have left.

Now that the season has finally been ended, we now await a result on league reconstruction. Other than our views on league reconstruction (which are in the relevant thread), we now have nothing to discuss so I thought I'd start a thread regarding building for next season. First things first, I'm worried that Hearts will come in for John Robertson, especially if Hearts the restruction vote and indeed get relegated to the Championship, which would then result in Daniel Stendel resigning. Hopefully the majority of our squad stay so that we can present a strong fight with Hearts and Dundee, in the push for ending as league winners. Imho, we need to sign quality rather than quantity and also utilise some of our promising youngsters in the first team squad. At the moment, we have signed Shane Sutherland and are losing Shaun Rooney to Saint Johnstone and possibly White to Motherwell (taken from Scott Burns Twitter account). My take on what we need in order to compete with Hearts and Dundee, which I'm happy for you to disagree with, add to or even debate 😛 Imho, our defence and a 20-25 goals a season striker would be what I'd be prioritising. I do understand that we need money to get these, hence why I said that we need to utilise the youngsters into the first team. Players like Cammy Mackay, Cameron Harper, Roddy Mcgregor and Daniel Mackay (there are probably more that I've forgotten to mention) are, in my opinion, capable of becoming first team regulars and making a difference :ictscarf: If only we had a rich business man/woman that could back Robbo, like Utd (Ogren) and Dundee (Nelms) have 😟

Damn, and there was me trying to please you 🤣

OK, I have had good responses to my proposal and will happily concede defeat on the idea as its clear that this site is the preferred option Thanks for the responses and the post by you Scotty ;). I suppose, that's that then so mods, if you feel the need, close this thread ;).

I have been on Facebook and looked for a private ICT fans group but didn't find one so I'm putting out a proposition, that I start one and will be the main mod (I'm currently one on an Andy Murray group and am very fair/lenient) but will add more mods once they become a member and have requested to become one :ictscarf: I am not wanting to create a group and then discover that there is no interest in the group so that's why I have stared the proposition here, at least that way I can guage if its something you guys would like to see :). I know I'm seen as a troublemaker that causes distress in relationships between myself and certain mods/members (not so much lately due to learning a hard lesson), mostly brought on myself due to lack of patience or not backing down when having certain opinions that have been posted.

We don't know that they are definitely voting no 🤔 That just came from The Daily Record!

How did young Roddy Mcgregor do :), its good to see the youngster get a first team start ?

Quite frankly this has been a dreadful month so the board AND management owe us an explanation as to why we only signed one player yet sold two. We were promised replacements if anyone left so why didn't we, and don't give us some crap about not having money because we did, these defenders did not go for nothing plus we had their wages. On the plus side thiugh, we should see Cammy Harper get some game time and hopefully others to. I think it's safe to say that we are definitely going to have a busy summer rebuilding :( :( :(.

I'm not sure he'll come though.
