Now that the league cup fixtures are announced for 13/14 July, most teams come back for pre season about 4 weeks before that. Gets everyone together, normally a few friendlies with highland league teams etc. That means everyone is due back roughly mid June, which is only a couple of weeks away!!!!!! Training venue still not clear, only a few players under contract, staff unclear as to wether they have employment in Inverness or Fife, no new players (that have been announced), signed up to make a full squad!!! What an absolute shambles this is. I imagine they still have to move the entire footballing side of things down the road……. When is all that happening. Desperate stuff.

Not sure he is skint and money is not I’m sure his motivating factor. Making his way in the managerial world more likely is. I’m sure he could get better money elsewhere, but who else ( other than ICT), would give him a managerial role , particularly after his failure at Forrest green.

Thanks Scot, very insightful. 🙂

Hahahaaaa ya muppet !!! You stated Many reasons why, then failed to list any! Are you Gardiner in disguise 🤪🤪🤪

You are just stating the obvious. Just like the club……… no answers!

I’m sure there are, but you would have to ask why they don’t have a contract. If this move is designed to attract a higher calibre player……. Who and where are they?

Pre season training can only be a few weeks away. Nothing heard so far about players being retained or new players brought in. It will be interesting to see the calibre of player the new set up in Fife can attract! Given the uproar and press and TV coverage, who would want to commit to this club in decline !!!!

Would love to hear Duncs take on the Kelty situation. Something for his first press conference in pre season I suppose. I am still surprised he remains the manager given relegation, but understand finances and paying him off will have been an issue. I can’t think that he will be happy in a league where 7 out the 10 are plastic given how much he criticised them throughout the season. He has failed in management at two clubs now, maybe it’s his reputation he is trying to restore / protect more than anything else.

Includes manager, assistant manager, physio, sports scientist as well as non local players who have a prescribed budget for accommodation. The current physio (about to change), when his job was advertised recently, the advert included accommodation. Surely these same individuals will need housing in the Fife area too?????

Will you still think of him as a ‘good bloke’ if he voted for this new training set up in Kelty?? If he opposed it, Tuesday night at the fans meeting would be a good opportunity for him to clarify his position.

Even Roy McGregor over the bridge is having a go at the absurd decision to train in fife. No longer can ICT be considered a community club. All this in our 30th anniversary year. Dark days indeed. ☹️.

In that case they are all culpable including those locals such as Scot Young & Graeme Bennet etc!

How did our u18,s get on this season, not heard much about them. Where did they finish in their league?

Others may know for sure in terms of what element of staff will remain in Inverness and those needing to be in Fife, but an assumption would be the manager, assistant manager, coaches, physio, sports scientist, kit man etc to be down the road. Who does that leave up here?, the grounds man only now looking after the one pitch now that fort George won’t be used and the shop staff???? What happens on press day (normally a Thursday I think), where they come to the stadium and speak with Duncs? I suppose they could do it over Zoom or something! It all seems quite disjointed and a huge gamble to attract a better quality of player. I would like the board to put out a statement confirming they back this venture or otherwise !!!!

Who do we think is currently scoping out and recruiting new players?????? Anyone ??

The longer the silence on management and restructuring, the more it looks like remaining the same!!!!!!

The current management team did not want a sporting director making decisions about the signing of players etc, so he was removed so DF and GB could make those decisions themselves.

It’s not the only thing connected to this club that’s running slow !!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was an interview with the manager after the match on Saturday. Why is this not up and available online yet?. Seems like the press and journalists have more of an insight to what the manager is thinking than the fans. This is absolutely unacceptable !

Managerially he was last with Cowdenbeath who were bottom of their league when he left. After that he was selling car parts in Dundee. Now got a decent side kick role at ICT.

He doesn’t seem to add much to the overall coaching and development. If he does, then why is there a need for Kelllacher? Surely no need for both? Don’t we also have a sports scientist/ coach. All seems a bit excessive for our Club.

We will probably end up with Kelllacher as the cheap available option.

Just checked the Club website, can also add Callum Macleod to that list.

Not sure of their contract situation, but don’t we also have Corey Patterson, Sam Nixon and Jack Walker on the books?

What happens if we get relegated????? Well as I was leaving the stadium last night waiting for the Police to deal with a few scuffles and keep us away from the Hamilton fans, I heard ( because one was crying and letting others know), that two young females from the shop / admin staff had lost their jobs and were told after the match. Likely more to follow, but that seems to be the harsh reality of the situation.
