Jimmy Baker Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 This does not look good. One of these Walter Mitty characters that frequently pop up in football. Hopefully I’m wrong and it turns out well for you lads but I’m not holding my breath. Adult sized Pampers all round in Inverness I think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am praying this doesn’t make it past the next stage, whatever that is, as this will be a total fucking disaster if it goes through. Inverness? Mattar?

Cowdenleith Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Sorry if this has been mentioned, though couldn’t see it in the last few pages, but do the SFA or other bodies not have to do some due diligence on any prospective buyer for suitability, or does that not exist in Scottish football? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One member of staff remembered an odd guy fitting his description asking for boardroom access which was refused. Seemingly he has enquired about 8 clubs who are struggling. All of them with desirable real estate, If this is true (and no reason to doubt you) then this is incredible, especially in light of this linkedin post (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7116705287759093760/) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I must admit that I'm not familiar with the management of ICT, but it boggles the mind that the board hasn't done any due diligence on this guy. Especially given the significant history of criminals, liars, charlatans and other sorts of dubious characters being involved with Scottish Football and leaving clubs in a complete mess (or dead in the case of Rangers) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say even more ridiculous, I really can’t stress enough how fucking mental it is that we have put the man in charge of finding a new owner/investor to someone who is hated by every single fan of the club and is only leaving because he has been chased out. Also a member of the wyness shuffle podcast was very keen to get his face in the media to say what a great guy this new owner was because he has had dealings with him in the past. If this was any other club I’d be pissing myself laughing at them at how ridiculous this situation was 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What assets are you referring to? 17 minutes ago, RJD said: The property company is owned by vile ex-directors who stripped our club of assets. Morrison and Cameron (remember the names) Didn't those same directors fund your regular and enormous financial losses? The exact same debt write-off = our property now gambit was tried at Morton just before we progressed to fan ownership - and was resisted effectively. But the claim that the directors were 'asset stripping' your club does not seem accurate. They weren't chucking money into a black hole out of the goodness of their hearts - the asset was jeopardized by the failure of the business. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
