An article on BBC yesterday...

Scottish clubs in financial 'perfect storm' of rising energy costs and cost of living crisis - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63080244

Scot sounding quite pessimistic about ICT,s financial situation.

Aye, the summer didn't yield the financial results he was expecting.

The current financial problems for the country will impact on many clubs.

If finances are so bad why are we paying for a Sporting Director who would prefer to be a pundit than actually attend our games?

To get rid we'd probably have to pay, which we can't afford either.

I like Robbo but I agree with you. Since returning to work in his new role, I've no clue what he's actually done, for what I'm assuming is a hefty salary. Seems more interested in the Jambos and selling his book than ICT as far as I can see.

Maybe he's doing a power of work in the background. With our communication skills as a club we'd never know.

One thing he has been instrumental in doing is securing the deal for the Academy Pitches for the ICT Women FC apart from that I 'think' he is involved with our signings we have made and the historical events of the Inverness clubs that has been in the local press.  I personally think he does a lot of work behind the scenes, but does he earn a living, and can the club afford his wages we don't know.

I say,

Targeting the wrong genre of music. Peat and Diesel more our kind of thing in the Highlands. 

Eh what?

Astonishing to think the club was better run in the days Gordy Bus RIP was selling the raffles to unsuspecting punters stotting in from the Muirtown or the Caley Club.

Worrying to hear our CEO saying that the main reason we're keeping our head above water right now is because we're running extended lines of credit....i.e. debt.

With two of our main benefactors due to stand down from the board at the AGM it doesn't look at all good.
