News everyone was expecting but a tough day for the club, fans and wider community. Wish ICT all the best and hopefully it will end up with the club ready and able to rebuild.

So you’re saying there’s still a chance?

Am I right in saying we’ve not technically entered administration yet? Anyone got any idea why not?

SFA:  You need to fax us.

The Caley:  We don't have fax here

SFA: You don't have fax in Inverness?

The Caley: no, here in 2024, no one uses fax.

 

(not my joke)

I thought BDO was the old fashioned darts world championship.

I don’t see any other club box office enough to have 3 posters in the top 10 this week.

Must have been a piss poor week for content on P&B if I made the top 3.

I think Caley will stay up tbh. Will depend on which players are kept around but there’s a lot of games to make up the difference.

I’m not so sure. This leagues pretty shite but most teams can be decent on their day, if they lose some important first team players then I really can’t see it. Best chance of catching anyone would be Annan by far from what I can see.

Feck, could yous no still have been in the Championship

[Otis Blue]

I don't think relegation is a given here, this sort of thing can create a siege mentality and really galvanise the core team/club that's left.

Didn't Dundee survive this sort of points deduction a few seasons back?

Plus, there's almost 3/4 of the season still to play, so a 15 point penalty isn't insurmountable.

[philpy]

Any rangers fans revelling in this news  - Just remember, ICT didn't cheat their way to any titles.

[Central Belt Caley]

Flashscore still has us in 7th, what a job the administrator is doing

The league is piss poor, yourselves included. The main thing anchoring this team from fulfilling its potential is the manager, who should be first out of the door. It’s a bit if your auntie had balls she’d be your uncle, however anybody who’s watched us in this first round of fixtures will tell you we’ve looked superior to the sides we are playing in most aspects of play, we are just far too conservative under this manager which prevents us scoring the goals required. I’m confident if he goes and we keep the bulk of the squad, we’ll win plenty of matches between now and the end of the season and have a decent chance of staying up.
 

Charlie Christie seemed pretty positive at the weekend about our chances of keeping most of the squad together, following discussions with others who have been through the process. I could of course be totally wrong and the squad gets decimated, in which case we would likely be too far adrift.
