If we go into Admin 9th would be an achievement. Our players will be free to walk away in January, if not before. It is absolutely wild to be talking about promotion playoffs. That's not even taking into account the evidence of the first 8 games of the season where we clearly were going to be struggling to finish in the top 4 anyway.

Tbf I thought BDU was referring to the relegation playoff place, I’d bite your hand off for 8th right now.

Time to join that illustrious list of clubs who have been in admin then?

Curious as to why Dundee were given that massive points deduction instead of being demoted to the 3rd Division like Gretna and Livi before them?

Different rules at the time.

Admin is shite guys so you have my sympathies.

Baffled a club would sign a new player at this time though?

[VictorOnopko]

Horrendous situation and I hope your team pulls through.  Ferguson has been a really disappointing manager so at least he'll be out the door and someone who likes to attack now and again might come in.  Awrabest to ICT.  Also, f*ck Scott "Scot" Gardiner.

Livingston couldn't guarantee they'd be able to start the season.

Alan Savage now seems less White Knight and more Damp Shite. 

Delighted the mangy mongrel will finally be put to sleep, lets get that Ikea built.

Why?

It was clear to anyone who thinks that despite the debt write off this season must be another financial nightmare for ICT, next season too probably and that it would have likely taken till 26/27 to get get the club to a break even level.

I guess Savage/ICT must be hoping to bring that date forward a season even if it means dropping a season.

Mr. Savage's plan all along has been admin so we can get rid of the debts, after which he can lavishly spend to get us to our rightful place. It's a three season plan.

On the other hand, Scot Gardyloo and his arsehole dog should never be allowed to darken the gates of the City of Inverness again.

I think also they were harsher on Dundee as they’d been in administration before. It was their second offence

Shite to see the news. Hopefully there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

It was that we couldn't guarantee we'd be able to fulfill all the fixtures so a bond of something like 750K was made, which McDougall would've posted but he wasn't allowed in the room with the cheque, it was only the administrator allowed in the meeting, and he was obv not going to do it, as it was his job to get money for the creditors, not stick money in for a bond. The whole thing was a stitch up, Livi5 were told we'd be playing in the 1st div before they took charge, then a couple of weeks before the season started they came up with the bond as a guarantee clubs would be paid loss of earnings if we didn't fulfill our fixtures against them, every game we played money would be paid back to Livingston from the bond. 

So we got papped down to the lowest tier just before the season kicked off, playing in the 3rd div with a 1st div quality team, which wasn't fair on teams in that league, but they voted for it.
