STFU

From reading a work colleagues letter it looks like it's the compulsory notice they have to send all shareholders informing them of administration and they've also included the "let us know if we owe you money" bit.

CGF decide the terms of the lease but not what the land is zoned for which is for the council to decide. CGF could agree transfer of the lease to a supermarket tomorrow but without a change in planning they couldn't build a new store. ICTFC fans want the council to lean one way with the fairways site and another way with the stadium site due to the mindset that the entire city is somehow responsible for ensuring the football club has a future. It's the very definition of hypocrisy.

The hypocrisy of some fans is incredible. Want council to stand strong on land use at stadium but hammer them for standing strong on land use at site of the battery farm.

Positive news indeed. Anyone who knows anything about the club knows it's potential with the right people running it and that will be as important as whoever owns/controls it.

It's great to have enough action for us to put in a highlight reel.

I wonder if any of our old media team would consider coming back now that things have changed? It would be great to have the live match commentary, live text updates, highlights that don't look like they're filmed on a nokia 3310 and things again.

Like everyone I would prefer 3 points from any performance but if we're not going to take 3 points I at least want to be entertained and I felt like we got that today. Sure feels much better than sitting through 90 minutes of knocking the ball about in our own half. But we did score and in only 3 mins. No point getting all Victor Meldrew about it. The squad is what it is for now and moaning won't change that.

A much more entertaining game and satisfying performance overall from the team. If we're going to draw games I'd rather do it as we did today with a bit of fight. Kelty the ones playing for the draw in the end was also a nice change as we pushed right until the final whistle. Kelty keeper for motm frustratingly.

Great comments from both Kell and Louis. Positive and realistic which is what we all need to be right now.

A little surprised to see that the bookies have us as favourites for today but it perhaps backs the thoughts of many of us who believe our squad is capable of more than they've been allowed to achieve so far this season. Might stick a fiver on us to win by 2 or more.

With players taking a case against the club for breach of contract there may be very good legal reasons why nobody has been allowed to contact them.

I am among those that wouldn't have picked Brooks to go. Depending on wage and accommodation costs it may have been a case of letting one go to keep two in order to maintain a minimum squad size. Unpleasant for all players let go but of the group I would imagine Brooks will get most interest form elsewhere. Knowing how these things normally go for us he'll pop up against us soon enough.

I've decided I'm going to ignore the league table and try and just enjoy the football in the hope we get effort (never doubted it from players) and style that generates a bit if excitement. I think if the support can give the team that kind of freedom and not lump 'survival pressure' on then we'll see the best from them. Let's treat it like a 25 game pre season in preparation for next year. Financially there's not a great deal of difference between L1 and L2 and Savage has already said the plan is preparation for relegation so I have no additional concerns there.

Alan Savage said "We can all now concentrate on football, no sideshows. I am pleased to be a part of that." And then he goes on to talk about getting a restaurant franchise into the stadium. I'm not saying we don't need to make better use of the stadium to generate income but opening restaurants is not concentrating on football and is a sideshow.

Can I have just the one T

I'm starting to think you actually believe that and aren't just playing some weird game of pedantry.

Given Savage was talking about people enjoying the view etc I think it was very much a sit in style affair he was talking about. If we wanted to do fast food then one of the concourses would surely be better suited. Everything is worth exploring I just find it strange that during such a press conference it would be placed out there front and centre as a big idea especially after commenting that we'd have no more sideshows. We were told that about the concerts and battery farm. Stay as we are and face no loses until the venture fails the space ends up out of use during any eviction period and not generating income and then we have to pay to convert it back into something it can be used for. I know more people say they trust Savage but we had people saying the same when Muirfield came in and then when Crook came in and then Morrison came in (we had someone else among that too but I forget his name). 'Give them a chance' hasn't served us very well the last few years and this is a red flag for me.

Anyone else confused by the comment about no sideshows and then talk about bringing in a restaurant franchise? Restaurants etc are failing across the whole of the uk just now on almost an hourly basis. The idea that anyone is going to open one at the stadium with those existing risks and in an untested location is up there with running our own concerts, battery farms and the like.

The administrator clearly said that secured debt does not fall within the CVA so Morrison will play no part in that. It wasn't clear how that would be dealt with but he seemed confident it was not a stumbling block.

Les Miserables And surely it should be Kelty Kelty Bankrupt?

If it's good enough for Sally!

In matters like this I remind myself of Hanlon's Razor. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Given some of the criticism you've dished out to those who were down on Ferguson this post just makes you look like a bit of a dick.

It's impossible to know who might stay/go etc as there are so many factors at play. Ultimately the administrators need to get costs down to a sustainable level because they can't assume there will be a buyer in x number of weeks. That means they will need to get to a stage where income covers costs and things like crowdfunding might help in the short term but it won't be viewed as income in terms of sustainability. If the club are burning six figures a month more than we can currently afford, that is a lot of cutting. They also have to deal with the debt. It would be of no shock to me if almost the entire squad has to be cut and we have to go almost entirely on academy players and perhaps even part timers. Having a business that can operate within it's means will trump one that can compete to stay in L1 and given the points penalty and likelihood of relegation they may decide squad strength doesn't factor very high on the priority list. As I said at the start it's impossible to know and I'm preparing for the bulk of players leaving but have everything crossed that doesn't happen.
