Whats funny is Roy Macgregor could save the club with the loose change in his wallet if he wanted to.

With all the rumours going around it sounds like his wife and son will have first call on his wallet, or haven't you heard?

There will be when you gtf and get a thread of your own with Shite Bon Accord instead of bleating absolute drivel on here all day long, and I suppose on other club threads.

No, yours and Clyde usually. Or wherever the next prominent basket case emerges.

Why don't you give us your sales pitch to potential players to give up work to play for ICT.

When Macgregor dies this is easily the sort of state County could find ourselves in, which is a big part of why I'm not being too triumphalist about this.

Though unquestionably the funny part here is how much money they wasted last year & it's impossible to see what they got for it.

I think it can only be explained by us paying a fortune for the loan players who were no better than the players we already had.

Still some fans got to meet Jamie Carragher, so that was nice.

Maybe one cost saver would be not paying Duncan Ferguson 5 grand a week to aim to achieve second place in League One. Just a wee thought. 

[Hugh Hillshaveyes]

Crowdfunder is a shocker....these type of things are aimed at the "working man"...which will only lead to bad feeling when the hundred quid or whatever you've stretched to will disappear into the ether

Hope he didn't gob on them, the mink that he is.

Good news, he took a 40% paycut this August!

Caley having to make the trek to North Kessock to face Inverness Athletic would certainly be a fun day out.

Even funnier when the game is Alness.

Not entirely sure the size of the rock you’ve been living under, but Ferguson has taken at least two confirmed wage cuts since that figure was being banded about.

[Savage Henry]

Why are ICT paying £125,000 a year for their kits?   That must surely be the worst kit deal in history.

[Buzz Killington]

There was a rumour circulating that some relative of Gardiner is the Puma rep for Scotland.

That was a bit of Chinese whispers, he initially got offered 3k a week then our ex-chairman asked him on his first week if he’d take 2k a week instead.

Its now down to 1200 a week I think

Cause our Ex CEO is a charlatan he  must've been getting some money for that deal. 

The worst part about the kit deal isn't the fact we've over ordered it's the fact we've only bought in like 100 shirts of the current away kit which literally sold out in a day. 

Club could've made money of that for sure. Even my glory hunting mate who's a Celtic fan was asking about it.

Gardiner has had free reign over the club for far too long. He probably couldn't believe his luck when the yokels on our board just let him do whatever he wanted and probably pocketed a tidy sum from some of his questionable deals into the bargain.

Which again shows how much of a incompetent twat Gardiner is cause he would've been the one who initially offered the £3k a week before Morrison looked at it & decided to take it down to £2k which for a club struggling financially in the Championship is just insane. 

[Sir Tarmo]

The Caley in the North Caledonian League would be a bigger club than Arbroath could ever dream of being

[TheScarf]

We would've got Imrie for about 700 a week.  I'm guessing he and the club would've agreed around that figure at their meeting.

Fair enough. I’d still suggest that, for the calibre of manager which Ferguson seems to be, 60 odd grand a year is far, far too much.

Undoubtedly.

Maybe it was Gardiner who agreed that terrible deal but why did it not raise red flags with anyone else at the club?

They wouldn't have known until after the deal was done.  Everything went through him, the directors had basically zero say on the day to day running of the club.
