STFU

Probably more relevant to the investment thread but suggestions that some of those with money saying they would help now changing their mind is a little concerning.

The club are taking this whole oasis wannabe thing too far. Trying to buy tickets for today 😂

Does he have any more kids?

That's about where I've settled on the badge as well. I still don't like it but won't stop me getting the shirt. Going to go in tomorrow in the hope that it's only the online shop showing out of stock in my size.

It has nothing to do with not liking the design of the badge (even though I don't). I find it a bit daft that the one constant we've been recognised for over the last 30 years is our badge and it's not on there.

Cracking shirt but wtf is going on with that badge? Where's the proper club badge?

Second hand info but apparently someone set off one of those large handheld confetti cannon things in the main stand at the end of the game yesterday. Legally they are classed as pyrotechnics but I was told it got a few claps from board members and club officials. No signs of condemnation from anyone. It was an older fan and I wonder if they'll be hunted down and we'll see similar statements as aimed at younger fans who have used pyro in the past? To be clear I have no issue with it but if there's going to be rules then they need to be the same for everyone.

A game to forget other than the result. Win will be a good lift for the players and hopefully something to build on. Officials were some of the worst I've ever seen. Ferguson being sent to the stand was a joke. He got a bit animated but nothing worthy of the two yellow cards. Two new signings didn't look rusty from the little we saw of them and Nolan was looking to make some runs in behind so may provide some attacking threat. Both Duffys going off injured isn't great and Allan also appeared with his thigh strapped with ice after being subbed.

Do they have food available in sports bar from 1pm? I have a rare chance to get down early for a drink and if I can get a bite to eat at same time then great.

Liverpool owner?

We need to remember that Savage is only a consultant at this point and everything still needs signed off by the board and that includes how they deal with Gardiner. It sits a little uneasy with me that Savage is looking for total control of the club via a mandate from shareholders as opposed to through own shareholding. As much as I appreciate what Savage is doing and have no reason to distrust him I'm not sure total control sitting with one person is a wise move regardless of who that person is. There has been talk in the past of Savage waiting for admin to get control on the cheap and it feels like he's doing that now but without the official admin bit. It may be happening for all the right reasons and the alternative is/was a lot worse. It just has a wee hint of being power trippy.

As the previous chairman signed off on accounts that used car park income from the red john agreement as a reason for being a going concern then it seems a little suspect that he's now claiming ownership seperate from the club with no existing agreement that income also goes to the club. Feels very similar to the battery storage thing where the club went from being soul owner to just 1%. Seems the ceo wasn't the only one doing strange deals.

I am slightly concerned that the agreement on the loans hasn't been legally signed off and hopeful that's what the above mentioned press conference is to confirm. Will Morrison want to give up his loans and the attached securities if there's a chance someone else is going to come in and profit from developing land around the stadium? Everything crossed.

Had Rangers scored any more the county fans would have needed to start counting on their second hand.

Anyone who thinks we're going to be competing for top spot this season is deluded. The club has been an utter mess for 5+ years and any meagre resources that can be pulled together must go to sorting that out and shoring up the foundations so we can build in the future. In saying that I still think we have a capable squad with more potential than they are being allowed to show at present given the tactics being deployed. Whatever the cost of changing the management team right now we simply don't have the money and I'd rather we spens what little we might be able to scrape together on an additional forward. Whether it's Ferguson or another manager that is needed and I'd be amazed if we could get both. I'm no Ferguson fan and I'm not going to preach that people need to get behind him or any such thing but I am going to try and just ignore him and put energy into getting behind the team. Which might be hugely frustrating at times. Fans are now being heard but we need to not be acting like spoiled children expecting everything we shout for. Savage has just saved the club from imminent collapse. Let that be enough for now.

Sounds horrendous but I wasn't sold on the home shirt until I saw the players wearing it during the game so will wait and see.

I can't see Savage coming in the way he has and putting money in to simply hand everything over to someone where there's a possibility they're going to do us over.

Trying to cut through the press speculation this is a direct quote from Savage. “We have a couple of opportunities – a Portuguese company, who have just bought (Serie A side) Monza, and they want to buy a club in England and a club in Scotland as part of their overall plan – Inverness could fit well with them." Marinakas is greek and already owns an english club so that would seem to rule him out based on the quote.

The plan is to stabilise the club and get it fit for selling to an investor. I imagine it will then be up to them to sort out any investment in the squad and/or the future of the manager based on their vision for the future.

Ketan Makwana should celebrating dodging a bullet. Not a chance he was doing a deal knowing what we know now.

He rejected a 2 year offer from us and then spent a year in Portugal before returning to play for Elgin. He didn't do anything to really impress against us that I noticed so don't think we missed out.

True. They'd probably have it on a tshirt and be waving a flag demanding equal rights for drunks.

Isn't it incredible that us gen xers seem to be responsible for producing a generation of snowflakes? If only kids were half as resilient now as we were then.
