STFU

He's definitely keeping the momentum going it's just unfortunate that our momentum is in the wrong direction. Regardless of the reason for players leaving Ferguson is responsible for the replacements and signing predominantly defenders when our biggest issue is at the other end of the park is on him. The only person he's trying to protect with his delusional post match comments is himself.

Can't say I've seen anything resembling passion and the only fight has been when he's turned in fans at the end of games. I was one of those saying he should be given time but his press/interviews and actions are showing him to have a scarily similar delusional personality to our CEO.

I'm hoping I wake up in the shower to discover it's all been a bad dream.

Yes. They were tasked with keeping us in the Championship and those who appointed him will be claiming it as job well done and a successful season.

Given the state of our match videos these days I wouldn't be holding my breath on that.

I'm starting to think he doesn't know where he is, or what season it is.

When Christie resigned in 2007 he said it was due to pressure of the job and the impact it was having on him and his family. He also made it clear last year when he took the job alongside Robbo on an interim basis that he was not interested in it permanently. The club is an absolute shitshow at the moment, and regardless of how this season ends, there's going to be a lot of pressure on the club and team next season. Either to bounce back from League 1, or to be challenging in the Championship. That's going to be beyond anything he experienced in 2007 and the last thing we want is a manager walking away if we get off to a slow start because they can't hack the pressure. As for him finishing out this season. Why would he put himself in that position? In fact, why would anyone put themselves in that position? Even if we could afford to get rid of Ferguson. Like it or not we are stuck with Ferguson and we have to hope he walks or there's a relegation clause that allows us to dump him at the end of the season should the worst happen. If we are relegated then who's managing the team will be the least of our worries. Even if we avoid relegation there's every chance it will still be the least of our worries.

"As I've said to you before..." this guy is absolutely feckin delusional, isn't he. Everyone elses fault, no accountability, world's against us. No wonder Gardiner liked him so much and was keen to appoint him.

Some players just can't seem to catch a break, but it does appear that some are risked with returning sooner after injury than others.

True, the £835k of losses from the last set of filed accounts might suggest spending has actually increased.

You are right that nobody should be under any obligation to put money into a football club and that various people have put in substantial sums over the years. That Is their choice and until recently those 'investments' have either been written off or converted to shares (to my knowledge). This is the first time (again to my knowledge) that a Director has put a charge in place to try and ensure they get their money back. Coincidence that this charge only appeared when the battery scheme looked like it may not happen? If nobody is willing to put money in to support overspend then we should not be spending more than we make through football operations. The fact we are failing so miserably in the Championship while maintaining our previous Premiership level of spending is mind boggling and not a sign that those running the club or the team know what they are doing. Damn right they should face criticism.

Our financial position and the future of the club is a situation of the boards making. Living beyond our means to an extent that they are no longer willing to fund and now trying to hold the city to ransom over planning that will allow them to get that money back. Crying over fans not turning up in sufficient numbers when they're serving up a **** poor product at an ever increasing price. All sense of community and belonging stripped from the club, and any who dare protest being shown the door. If that's the cost of allowing the club to be run the way it is by those currently on the board, I don't want them there. It might not be so sad if we were seeing even a glimpse of success, but if people such as yourself are happy for the club's soul to be sold in return for a pitiful existence, then have at it. The longer it continues, the fewer who'll be around to pick up the pieces when needed.

Unsecured loans, so they can shout all they want for the money, if we don't have it they can't get it. High chance we're facing administration anyway, so they'd get nothing back then either. I'd rather cut the cancer and take a chance on recovery than continue to let it slowly kill us.

Apparently they got caught whilst trying to put the tickets back.

Based on profitability from our CEO and Chairman's previous ventures, we'll probably add a million to the debt.

There is no cost for the appeal and if the case is as robust as the club claim, then they won't need much, if any, additional professional input. Instigating legal action against the council is a whole different matter.

And it's an event being run by our CEO.

Scot Gardiner getting upset at fans lobbying him verbally during a game? Surely not?

They don't need a legal case for appeal, it is their right to do. Just as it was the Highland Council's right to call the decision in to full committee. The 'side case' of taking legal action for corruption (which seems to be the jist of Gardiner's allegations) may actually delay any appeal if Scottish Government don't want to get involved while that's going on.

The original planning meeting delayed a decision as one councillor asked if they could have a site visit. A site visit was arranged, but there was no mention of it being compulsory However, at the next planning meeting only those who attended were allowed to vote and a there were a couple of other exclusions for anyone who was deemed to have a conflict of interest (e.g. the vice provost was excluded as she sits on the ICTWFC committee). This left only 5 people eligible to vote. Ahead of the full council meeting, drone footage had been taken of the area and distributed to councillors, which was deemed a sufficient substitute for a site visit. Of the 74(?) members of full council, only those with valid and up to date planning training were allowed to vote. I don't believe there were any other exclusions, so that left 53 to cast votes.

Not true. They approved plans for the changes after Everlast Gym made the decision not to renew their lease. Rejecting the planning application would not have kept Everlast Gym open, and would possibly have meant another commercial space laying empty.

Telling someone you don't think something is important is not addressing the issue.

Lots of people disagree that the world is spherical, doesn't make them right.

Just to be clear. I'm not against lobbying, but I disagree with the claims that it's not intimidation.

From previous reports it sounds like home performances have been slowly improving. Could do with it clicking tomorrow to give the team and fans a lift. Might stick a tenner on the win and McKay to score.
