I find it hard to believe but in retrospect I couldn't really blame Dougie for going for the ICT job if the rumours are indeed true. He'd done a grand job last season but was very open about being let down with the budget and subsequently sitting bottom of the league. If that's you and you're offered anywhere near that sort of money with a far bigger budget you'd jump at it. No doubt in my mind that Inverness would be no where near where they are if Dougie was appointed either, so cheers to the ICT board
Apparently he's still very well thought of up here as a couple of board members who were here when he played for us have returned to the fold and were keen on appointing him but our esteemed chairman and CEO wanted the headlines so went with Ferguson.

Fkn right he would...
That would have got you promotion play-offs for half the cost of the relegation play-offs; congratulations once again to the gang of fkn morons who appear to be 'running' your club.
As above, just say you're embarrassed and we'll let it go...
What the utter fuck are you talking about?

You should ask him, given he applied and was interviewed,

Did I just read that ICT are paying Ferguson five grand a week?!
If that's even close to the truth, you fully deserve to be relegated (and next season as well).
No, they're not. Someone else is.

Here’s the most optimistic take I can muster:
Airdrie will beat QP, we will draw with Morton in an eye-bleedingly bad game, we’ll stay out of the playoffs on goal difference.
Both games will be a draw IMO.

Yeah, I think the recruitment in January has turned out to be a bit of a disaster. We were doing fine up until the start of January, though you can't deny there were some shocking performances too, and that was mostly down to Wotherspoon just being class. We needed attacking and creative options and not defenders. Maybe one but the amount we brought in was stupid. As you say Boyes, Ujdur and Devine would have been absolutely fine for staying in the division. We wouldn't have needed the cash from the wages for this season but you could say why not throw £1k a week at five quality championship players this summer instead. I don't have a clue what their plans were for this summer presuming we are still a Championship club and Ferguson is still in charge but spending silly money on a manager isn't much use if you aren't going to put some money into the players on the park.
We did it with Dodds for two years and we nearly got promoted and made a cup final and I will say we made it their in spite of Dodds. We invested in the squad and got a shite manager and now we have invested in the manager, who could well end up being shite too which I know some already think, and given them f**k all to work with on the park. Just have some sort of middle ground for once.
Indeed, in 21-22 we 'went for it' on the playing side with the signings of 3 Premiership quality players in Billy McKay, Kirk Broadfoot and Michael Gardyne (the latter only played a few months but he was brilliant for us IMO). Coupled that with other quality already at the club like Sean Welsh (when fit), Robbie Deas, Scott Allardice etc, you can see why we were 45 minutes from the Premiership. The issue was our pish manager. Now we have a pish manager on eyewatering wages, albeit it apparently being paid by a director and not the club, and a pish squad.

Aye I’m sure that will be the case. The point really was that they are still willing to chuck silly amounts of cash at the club so why not put that into the playing budget instead. Or if you are insisting it all goes to a manager at least give it to one who is a close to a sure thing at this level that you can find. Ferguson was always a risk and throwing stupid money at him is just ridiculous.
I agree. They should've appointed Imrie (apparently he was very impressive in his interview) and taken it from there. He would've done better with the squad Dodds left us IMO, and probably wouldn't have signed 5 centre halves in January. There probably wouldn't have been any need to spunk what is now Ferguson's wages on the playing squad, just a few shrewd attacking player signings would've been enough. Boyes and Ujdur with Devine as backup, would've be fine for the centre of defence.

I'm 99% certain the club itself aren't paying Ferguson's wages, one of the board is personally.
Ferguson paid the £4,000 a man to beat QP a fortnight ago out of his own pocket.

I'm old enough to remember when the Forbster (going with this) was being praised as the next big thing as Finance Minister, even the Greens were happily voting through her budgets.
Wasn't that before she was outed as a bible bashing, anti-trans, anti-abortion moon howler?

This is probably the most disillusioned with Scottish politics as I've ever been. I'm sick of the SNP - especially after covid. When it comes to supporting a party, as someone who deeply cares about environmental / climate change issues then naturally I'd want to vote Green. Sadly the Scottish Greens right now come across as a bunch of absolute cretins. Alba are oddballs. The rest are unionist gimps. At this stage I've completely lost interest.
Same. I think I'll sit out the old voting for a decade or too. All the parties up here are all either fucking useless (SNP, Greens), genital inspecting weirdos (Alba) or Unionist, Butcher's Apron flying, bootlicking cuck scum (Tories, Labour, Lib Dem).

It's almost as farcical as the Lowland League at times, but I don't think it'll ever get that far.

This is exactly how I feel. Govern well, continue to show the Scottish voters how much better they at governing, with one hand tied behind their back, than the two loser parties in WM, and the Independence movement will take care of itself.
