I’m not implying the club made a million pounds im saying that unexpected windfall will have ‘eased the swelling’ of the debt so to speak. The club wouldn’t have budgeted on getting to the SC final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I'm sure it'll be processing as we speak or something, but right now it feels like not even the simplest things can go right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preaching? At not time in this debate have I seen anyone connected with ICT said maybe we have been overspending for years and they should cut their cloth accordingly. They should down size, rebuild from the bottom and produce a model that is sustainable. Kelty is saving what? What not just cut that from the playing budget and stay in Inverness? You are right about Kilmarnock it was probably more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to compete with Uncle moneybags 15 miles up the road has led you to ruin. I genuinely feel for ICT fans but they need to get themselves organised now.

welshbairn Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Quote Almost exactly two years ago, upon learning that Inverness Caledonian Thistle (ICT) FC was looking for new directors, I emailed the club with my CV, offering my services. In my head, I prepared for a meeting at the Caledonian Stadium, at which I would make my pitch as an Inverness boy, a lifelong fan, a communications expert, and an investor. I would offer them around £475,000 in cash as a long-term, interest-free loan, to do with as they saw fit. I did not receive a reply. Now, I see the club, in deep crisis, is looking for investment. I bought holiday homes in the Highlands with that cash instead, and the rent makes me money instead of ICT. I fear that my injection would be welcomed today, as – clearly – would a communications expert, while the thorny issue of the Kelty move trundles into a public relations disaster.

Winning the Scottish Cup in 2015 made us loadsamoney, unfortunately the club we beat in the final, (forgot who they were!), didn't do so well financially that year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that most ICT supporters that have watched our home games over the last couple of years would regard ticket prices and STs as an overspend on their own budgets. I'm glad you know where Dingwall is btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a so called 'communications expert' he comes over as a pompous twat in that article wot he rote. Quote You should have seen the look on many football managers’ faces when I turned up to meet them in the three-piece suit they’d seen me wearing on the TV news the night before while outside the High Court. One of my regular missions was to interview then Kilmarnock manager Jim Jefferies at the club’s training facilities, which belonged to the University of Glasgow and were situated in the north of the city. Once we’d got the dreary business of his injury-depleted squad and the formation and system he’d deploy on Saturday out of the way, we got chatting. He was amiable enough, but I wouldn’t have wanted him on my team in a pub quiz. P.S. I'm led to believe he's a regular and known face at Caledonian Stadium for many years.

CityDave94 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 (edited) As from today that's us with only seven 1st team players contracted. Ujdur, Gilmour, Longstaff, McKay, Nicolson, Davidson, Brooks. Is this correct? Edited June 1 by CityDave94 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite possibly being one of our best players,we are as well selling Udjur, as big Dunc 'The Relegator' Ferguson clearly doesn't fancy him. He'd do a great shift for someone in the Championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 (edited) Presumably Morrison held off on announcing the Kelty plan until it was already included in players' contracts, making it very difficult to reverse with only a few weeks till preseason?
