STFU

How does it encourage new members if they don't tell anyone outside the organisation what they're doing?

We get flurries of communication every now and then, but it often tells us nothing and is just noise. Proper fan engagement, unless you're a pet podcaster or kindergarten 94, is non existent, and the fan experience is the worst it has ever been. Where's the kids meet and greets, the big game they were promised, the xmas party, end of season awards night? These are the very basics. Customer service is also poor, as already documented by others. They rely too much on fan loyalty, but everyone is losing patience and that is diminishing. Complain and you get the 'poor us' we're a small team and doing our best. We have more employees than we ever had, and are somehow struggling to a greater extent?

Hopefully whatever 11 year old Scot Gardiner gets to write his statements will have more time when the schools break up for the summer and Information will get out a bit quicker.

Taking a chance on another player who is recovering/just back from an injury? Did we learn nothing from last season?

Sounds like Billy has an option of another season if HE wants it, but is maybe trying to negotiate for a longer contract? Given where we are, I'd have thought the club would be biting his hand off to get two years out of him. He's got at least that left in him at Championship level, and if by some miracle we go up, he'd be a handy player to have in the squad for our first year in the top league whether a regular starter/90 minute player or not.

To get money for players, you actually need to have players who are worth anything, and they have been in very short supply at ICTFC the last few years.

Some people seem to have forgotten we just finished in the bottom half of one of the weakest Championship leagues in a long time! The fact some are trying to spin it as a successful season shows the current level of our ambition!

The last figure we have for the club's financial performance is an £800k loss. The money mentioned that Robbo had a hand in securing was for the academy thing. They are a separate entity to the club, so it adds zero financial benefit to us. The club were quick to distance themselves from the liabilities of the concert company set up in our name, so they can't have it both ways. If Robbo is working for the new academy project, he should be employed and paid by them. The result if which would be a huge chunk out of that income. This constant blurring of the lines by our CEO means that we don't have anything approaching a clear picture of what's going on. It's all just noise which is designed to distract.

Whatever it is, it can't be worse than the concert fiasco....can it?!

We'll have rented the carparks to some construction company for £50 a week.

We're clearly not, but it has nothing to do with lack of resources and everything to do with how they're being used.

You've taken that too far 🤨

What gibberish. John Hughes was part of our premiership era, arguably the peak, and as you say our finances were healthier then. We still have generous donors who are covering the eye watering loses from the last couple of seasons. We are still working on a premier league budget in the championship. It's not the amount of money we're spending, it's the fact we're spending it on huge numbers of coaching staff, sporting directors, sports scientists, video analysts etc. and seeing zero benefit. It's bizarrely amusing that we have had so many injuries since introducing a dedicated sports scientist, played some of the dullest football since introducing more coaches, have been found lacking on player recruitment since bringing in a sporting director and put out the shodiest highlights since employing a video analyst!

Are all the fans who were against replacing Dodds because there are no better options out there of the same opinion when it comes to our CEO? If not, who would they suggest?

NFICT (Normal For ICT)

The clubs statement reeks of talking around the issue. Lots of this is the procedure, we know how it should be done etc, but very little about what they actually did. Legally, they may feel like they've ticked all the boxes, but once again they are found wanting morally and it's another massive blow to ICTFCs reputation.

Do people need reminded of concertgate? Given the propensity of the current club guardians to screw people over and then spin the legalities to make it look like they're the injured party, it's maybe a bit quick to be coming down on their side in this matter 🤷‍♂️

Yup, in the grand scheme of things, not having to pay off 3 or 4 months wages for the manager has absolutely saved us. A feckin masterstroke on the part of the CEO and Board. Knighthoods all round.

Poor tactics in the first half and showed Celtic too much respect. Better in the second half. Players have nothing to be ashamed of. I shall be watching from afar next season unless there's big changes in the dugout and off the park, but that's not on the players.

Look forward to news of his departure on Monday....buh bye 👋

Our CEO is a proper media wh0re. Seen more of him on TV and the papers this week than we have the players. Grinds my feckin gears that the blue nose tw4t is talking about ICTFC being his club. Feck off.

Push Shaw up front with Billy in the old Bayne kinda role.

Ummmm....yeah!!! 🤔

The Supporters Trust were obviously aware of the 'event' and on hand to present trophies. I'd have thought (hoped?) they might have had some objection, or were they happily bought off with an invite to this exclusive get together?

Of course it's true, it was on the internet..duh!!!
