I think caley fans seem to see this admin lark as an easy ride whilst it is anything but. Savage has 300k to spend but you will need a lot more than that to get out of admin I'm afraid.

Could be a long drawn out process.

Motherwell (April 2002) took 2 years to exit Administration.

Hearts (June 2013) took a year.

Imagine working all week for a wage to then  eagerly pitch in to pay Leigh Griffiths wages

Immaculate grifting from FFC

Imagine grafting every week to see your club go down the tubes and end up being Clydebank.

Yeah sorry totally forgot about your 8 Inverness cup wins. You're right we've never won that.

Is the constant narrative with Inverness not that to attract full time players of decent quality (and you can argue whether that had been achieved) you have to pay them more than the equivalent team in the central belt, plus accommodation costs to get players to uproot?

That could add substantially to the wages and expenses side of things, and getting no discernible extra benefit out of it. I suppose that’s where the curious Kelty idea grew from.

I don't think that's necessarily true. It's just a mindset of those that have been running the club.  In particular some players don't like being away from the central belt. And have gotten that better offer. But on the other hand players from elsewhere wouldn't think that way. 

Charlie Christie also just mentioned he's had an offer from Ryan's agent to go to Sweden. To consistently bring in player's willing to play for £400 a week who would be more interested in coming for the exposure.

Two Scottish Cups in the same era as the dinosaurs. Congratulations.

I think it’s clear to absolutely everyone that he’s not got a great track record as a manager/coach. It was an appointment that your board though would “stimulate” an upwards turn in fortune.

It was clear to just about everyone else that it was a HUGE gamble. 

Your board failed you. That much is clear. You and I would never have appointed him.

 

Well, the opinion at the time was that it was gonna be a white knuckle ride - he's certainly delivered!

More Scottish cups, more challenge cups, more league titles and that's with around 30k less of the   population size of Inverness. All that and let's face it hardly any of those 79k give a monkeys about their team which is why you get dreadful crowds and could only rustle up 80k when you needed 200k

This helps explain things if Dinosaurs were roaming Inverness in 1957

An appropriate post, considering you're about a week away from having John 'Yogi' Hughes in the dugout.

Being utterly rinsed by SandyCromarty in the Annan-The Caley thread seems to have really got to you. 

Is that when he said the Pars weren’t very athletic?

I just assumed that was part of his senile schtick tbh.

I have no idea what club you support, but I certainly won’t be spending my time visiting your threads talking with authority on things I know nothing about and then deflecting when I get found out. An extremely embarrassing episode for you.

What was I “found out” over? Caley being financial cheats, admitting that Ferguson on the football side was really bad at his job or saying that he deserved some respect for not taking his wages?

ICT might just end up like the dinosaurs - Extinct.

You can have your opinion and everyone is welcome to it. Coming on to another thread trying to lecture a fanbase on Duncan Ferguson, when you know absolutely nothing about the situation, will be rightly called out. 

You don’t even know enough about Scottish football to know what strips clubs wear.

The dinosaurs being extinct of course, just like your…actually never mind.

I thought the summer was the passing of the banter club baton, but seeing Falkirk fans lecture Inverness fans about how their club is run makes me think that this is the proper handing over ceremony.

Yogi would be an improvement on what they have to be fair. Under Ferguson they have no hope on overcoming the points deduction. At least with another manager they'd have almost no chance.

Genuinely don't get this..we planned for a £450000 loss every year we were in league 1 as it's impossible for a full time club not to but that was preagreed to be covered by directors loans...in the championship before that we were doing fine & had over 1 million in the bank at one stage which was frittered away in paying off duds over 2/3 years. Had we stayed down last year we would have had to go part-time as no directors prepared to pony up anymore.....there is no comparison to be made

At least we managed 5 seasons in league one . ICT are going bust after 5 mins.
