If it's not Savage, it'll be some other old face or someone connected to an old face. Caley Thistle have always been a big clique. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My information is that the Inverness common good fund is going to, in the form of a long term loan, provide the funds to clear the debt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it more in the sense of fan ownership which would just be a disaster . How much debt are we in? Does anyone know? ETA: Guess figure of £1.6 mill plus since that is what we are losing each year in the championship.

vikingTON Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 We do need investment to maintain our current level Otherwise known as ‘cheating’ ala Dundee in the First Division under Callum ‘Clum’ Melville then. I find it hard to believe that Inverness could somehow rack up a second consecutive £800k loss in this division as Scott Gardiner claims in his ‘won’t someone please think of the Highland children’ sob story to the BBC. If that is the case though then it would put a significant qualifier on John Robertson’s work as a manager, because if he’s been working with well over half a million pounds more than any comparable club by revenue or attendance then you’d expect nothing less than a strong playoff and promotion challenge to show for it.Gardiner’s whining media intervention this evening is a major red flag IMO. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Well my "contacts" are saying that we are going to be jointly bankrolled by a certain McGregor family from over the bridge !! And that isn't from Peter Rabbit or Pig Nicholson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 By the way Savage has always been there, lurking in the shadows of Sutherland. Have there been signs of a Tulloch withdrawal ? I am far from keen on an Orion/McGregor family takeover but that may be an offer that we cant refuse. Could you imagine the financial return from two teams consolidated at the highest level ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wages Inverness pay are way above what they can afford I suppose they have to pay good wages to get players up to Inverness . They pay wages much the same as Dunfermline but the difference is they get double the crowds you get 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 As many people have pointed out, our large debts are from the Kenny Cameron era and they won’t disappear until we:A - have some success on an ever-reducing budget, getting promoted to get some money inOrB - go part-timeIf we don’t do either of these in next year or two then we’re pretty much confirmed as never seeing the Premiership again. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Seemingly when we went down in 2009, it took us five years to absorb the hit (or so a former chairman once told me). Considering four of those five years were in the Premiership, you'd have to wonder how long it'll take for us to absorb the hit of 2017.

Cdam Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I take no pleasure in the prospect of our neighbours going into administration. We are all the Highlands and need as many clubs as possible to represent us. Looking forward to the day we have Clach and Brora in the league along with Forres and Nairn, although suspect hell may be well and truly frozen by then! Of course, if there is a fire sale, we will happily rehouse some of the better players.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 From the Mailonline article. Quote 'We have done all we can to steady the ship. We have no debt now, no soft loans any more, no bank debt and we own the stadium. If that's true just set a sustainable budget and then there's only the money you lose this season to worry about - or am I missing something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I’ve heard (from someone who knows a lot more than me, and knows a little bit about the situation) that we’re not facing administration at the moment and that’s a fair bit away yet. Apparently they are genuinely just begging for money though, no guarantees of anything or proof of a sustainable setup, no structure and no real forward planning. Given our last few ‘boards’ I wouldn’t be surprised if we piss any money away again given out apparent lack of financial nous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
