northstander Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) Apart from the Scottish Cup win, arguably today is the most important day in the clubs 30 year history clearing a path for non-‘phygital’ consortium to hopefully take over the club in the coming weeks and months ahead. Amazing in less than one week what Alan Savage has been able to do and unearth. For what he has done for this club he shouldn’t have to buy a drink in the City for the foreseeable. Finally, I hope Mr Gardiner is prepared to lawyer up cause I think the club has a very strong gross misconduct case. If so, I will enjoy the taste of every one of his delicious tears for the misery he has put the Club, fans and local businesses through these past years.

Stephen Malkmus Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) From the Daily Record - "Savage and his representatives, GRM Marketing, will fly out to Lisbon on Monday next week for talks with a group who are understood to have recently bought Italian Serie A club Monza." Don't know who owns Monza, some group called Orienta were looking to buy them but that deal fell through in May. Whoever bought them bought them from the Berlusconi family. Nottingham Forest's owner was sniffing around them too. Edited August 19 by Stephen Malkmus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely low marketing and publicity in a shrinking market though the scoops would have you think otherwise.

You get free publicity everyday in the Press and Journal, and twice weekly in the Inverness Courier. The P&J sell more copies than the Herald, Scotsman and National put together, and that doesn't include their online and social media content.

Central Belt Caley Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I feel like Savage coming out and saying all this publicly is ruining any chance of Gardiner weaselling into another job and denying us The Caley fans to join in the pointing and laughing at someone else’s misfortune Think of the bigger picture here Mr Savage pls 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but he's an ex-chairman who knows them all and has persuaded them to loosen their demands on the club's assets. Directors had direct personal stakes in the concert, battery farm and car park schemes, they were at least complicit. Gardiner was just a wage slave at their beck and call.

I think you're reminiscing about your old days of regular televised fixtures against the old firm. I haven't fully read or purchased a P & J or a Courier in years and snippets i may have mentioned on here I have lifted from SM in our circle I know of only one that does purchase a newspaper and he's a shinty fan Then you have to consider that given the free access print journalists have to the club is their reporting fair and unbiased or do they toe the club line or they're out the door, I have more than a suspicion that that's how Gardiner ruled the roost. If the print journalist patg and sat among us during the game and then did pm interviews all the better. But for honest and unbiased opinions the go to place is the podcasts such as The Wyness Shuffle. Tam and Stuart purchase zSTs for their respective clubs End of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back Rangers were getting pissed off with their numbers at games and proposed a £25 charge per man to their editors and of course a huge row was raised. Rangers didn’t suggest charging journalists £25 to get in. They said that media companies would need to pay £25,000 a year for access to games, press conferences and a few exclusive interviews with Steven Gerrard. If it makes you feel any better, I helped out with Raith’s media team for a number of years, and other than a press pass, I received zero free stuff when covering games at Inverness. In fact, off the top of my head, the only two clubs that ever game me a complimentary pie were Rangers and Ross County. Free programmes aren’t a thing either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a bit off the mark here. There's certainly people beyond Scot Gardiner who - allegedly - are and were complicit (I mean it's quite obvious to work out which directors fell into which "camp") in creating this mess but you're being quite generous to him with this take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete the Jakey Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 14 hours ago, SandyCromarty said: More importantly the club is moving forward financially, slowly but surely. Next the club needs to get that free loading print journalists with their photographers enjoying free parking, free entrance and free teas and pies to start paying as they bring nothing to the game but profit to their paper. With ten of them at a game, at least, I reckon that's at least £50 a man, thousands over a season. The club is crying out for fans to buy STs and merchandise yet their happy to allow freeloaders. Every penny counts right now Mr Savage. Getting to the crux of the issue here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
