  1. Thing is, as far as I’m aware, RM may be well off but I don’t think he’s exactly a multi-millionaire. He’s invested a huge amount of his personal wealth to keep the club afloat over the last few years. Perhaps he’s not in a position to simply cut a deal where he loses huge amounts of wealth? Perhaps it’s his contributions to the club that has stopped it from going bust in the first place.
  2. As others have said, it’s far too early to place Scott, but he’s had a great start. If in 2 or 3 years time we can say he’s greater than Butcher, Yogi, Pele, Robbo etc ….. then he will have done something spectacular! And I wish him absolute legendary total success!
  3. I think we were destined to get relegated at some point. We could have got another manager instead of Foran but who’s to say we would have stayed up? Maybe we would have still got related 2, 3 years later. So for me, it’s the response to relegation. Robbo coming back as manager. We didn’t do that well under him on his return (missing out on promotion play offs in his first season). So maybe another manager would have got us promoted. However, it was Robbo that helped get Scot Gardner his job as CEO. Knock on effect there. Another manager might have got us back up to Prem by now and probably wouldn’t have brought SG to the club.
  4. It’s such a shame the Board didn’t accept an offer to buy the club. The club wouldn’t be in administration, jobs would have been kept and the club would be looking up. Of course if the new owners didn’t work out, then there would be an option of admin down the line, but instead of giving it a chance to see if it works, with the worst case end scenario being administration…. The club decided to jump straight to that. Almost as if they wanted it. Strange.
  5. Let’s assume that Dundee Utd are paying his wage. They have a lot to gain by getting him starting 11 experience. There’s no money to spend on players. I assume that Dundee Utd are covering the costs and we gain an up and coming hungry goalkeeper and save a wage. A win win! Could be seen as a cracking piece of business. Welcome to ICT Jack!
  6. I won’t dignify that post by keeping it in the quote, but nah these kind of comments wishing death on someone should get in the f*cking bin.
  7. Fair enough then, let’s at least have some positivity… Welcome to the Club Cameron Ferguson. I hope he proves all the doubters wrong.
  8. Most of our fans sit in silence the entire match anyway at home so I don’t think they’d notice any difference. With the exception of utter outrage if the referee makes a perceived mistake or A slight cheer followed by 6 seconds of clapping if we score a goal.
  9. There is another option Johndo. Nobody (on here anyway) seems to be considering a scenario where it all works out. There is a good chance that with our new pool of player recruitment, we gain promotion in the same season where we also win the battery farm appeal. Credit will then be due. So, as I have said previously, let’s give this plan a chance and for goodness sake let’s WELCOME the new players and give them our backing!
  10. Me?! what am I supposed to resign from?! I’m just expressing my view as a season ticket paying supporter.
  11. I understand your view and your commitment and support to the club through the years is obvious. But if everyone takes your current view, it won’t just be the near future that you won’t be spending a penny, it will be forever, as the club will go bust. Are you genuinely content to risk that? Board members, coaches and players come and go. The current board won’t be here forever. Big Dunc won’t be here forever. But the fans will be…. Unless the club goes bust due to literally a lack of fans buying tickets. Worrying.
  12. Whether you’re a fan of training in central Scotland or not, the alarming issue is if enough supporters boycott, then there won’t be a club left. I feel strongly that we should support the team through thick and thin. If you really don’t like the training idea or if you really want certain figures gone, then perhaps try something else. Maybe protest at the matches. But the danger here is if enough regular season ticket holders boycott, then once the boycott ends there won’t be an ICT left. Depriving the club of money risking it going bust is certainly a bold move to get rid of the current CEO / Chairman / Manager / whoever else. They will be gone, but at this rate so will ICT. I think everyone really needs to take stock here.
  13. Excuse me, I have been a Season Ticket holder since 1994. I won't be going anywhere! We all have our opinions on this matter, and i am expressing mine. Just because you have a different opinion to me, i'm not going to tell you to stop supporting the club!
  14. "tell us all that the club are right in everything they do" I've only commented on this specific topic as you clearly point out as well. So your statement makes no sense. I just want what's best for the club, and that is the club going back up the leagues again. This is a clearly a positive step to help with recruitment. If fans however, en mass want to challenge it and demand that the club just carries on what they are doing for the sake of some sort of Highland togetherness feeling and if the fans are content that this approach will most likely lead to staying in the lower leagues then so be it. It appears that the majority on here would rather we stayed in the seaside leagues and try and patch together the youth. We have had few good youth players but nowhere near enough to build a winning team right now. We have such an unambitious support. At home games it's weird. Surreal. Fans are vocal. They are very VERY vocal at voicing criticism of the referee for example if he makes a mistake. Or if they are unhappy with a substitution etc. So there is clearly some sort of passion there. But we score a goal and its a small cheer, maybe 15 seconds of clapping and everyone sits down again. The club make a positive approach to sign players and there's utter meltdown. I've seen comments on Twitter with fans saying they'd rather be in the Highland League etc etc. Crazy. Is there any other club in the entire country with such an unambitious support?!
  15. I hate to break it to you that many Caley Thistle fans don't post on here at all. Many will read, many won't even bother. But times like this will make more quiet fans like me want to say something. I have no idea who the other two names are that you mention but i supported Caley and I have supported Caley Thistle since the merger. My opinion is not less worth than people who type words on a keyboard more often than me.
