As an aside, I see Inverness's very own Guardian golf correspondent tweeted that the Puma kit deal probably wasn't that big a deal and you'd be surprised at how expensive these deals are at Caley's level. Coincidentally, the last time (admittedly a wee while ago) I spotted Ewan Murray in Inverness he was with Scot Gardiner.

Fraz Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago I guess this is what AS was meaning when he said we were going into administration 'in control' or as the administrator said ' with stability'. Crazy how an administrator can talk more sense in 15 minutes than Gardiner did in 5 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie and Savage both confirmed it was £125,000 a year for 4 years so Murray is talking about his fat arse, as per always. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, on reflection, is a bit amusing given all the bad blood that has developed between Gardiner and Savage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowrising Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago The "stability" appears to be based on firing a bunch of people and Savage putting money in to the admin process. Beyond that he talks about finance being linked to the people of the city and supporters of Inverness. Not much beyond that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about reducing the deficit, and at the moment the quickest way is to reduce the wage bill and put money in. The cutting of cloth can't take place at the moment as the club is tied up in too many contracts of more than 1 year in length; the kit deal, Ferguson and Bollan's deals etc. The income streams with local businesses he mentions are way down the line yet IMO. Unless the administrators, Savage or Christie can persuade Puma to rip the deal up, we're paying 6 figures for the strips for the next 4 years. Probably more than double the next highest kit deal in the division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club's in administration and is now in a position to continue until the end of the season by which time it'll likely have been bought over. What's your point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago 4 minutes ago, Central Belt Caley said: “A bunch of people getting fired” = 4 folk getting made redundant Ok m9 Those 4 people are still people. There's also a management team now redundant, regardless if you liked them or not. There were mentions earlier in the thread that some folk view administration as a quick and easy way out and the Caley fans were quick to suggest they knew it wouldn't be quick or easy. I'm not sure trivialising the fact that only a few people have lost their job so far is a good look. There might also be further redundancies if investment isn't forthcoming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly - reduce costs and increase revenue to start balancing. Not sure what the P&B financial experts are thinking should happen - sack everybody so there's no costs (therefore no business) or that its bought instantly (like an ebay BIN) or investors chuck cash in on day one. Pretty sure there's a reason why the administrator is doing pressers and running this show and not posting shite on P&B all day!!! There has clearly been significant damage limitation which if AS & the administrators havent worked through then it would be a lot more than the levels of cuts we have seen. All non football staff are retained for now and there have been strategic decisions around the best values offered within the playing/coaching structure. For Dundee fans to criticise any of this is astounding considering the absolute basket case their club has been http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/dundee/3286019.stm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point every club may have needed a cash injection, or failed to win a cup, o I think it's best if nobody comments on finances at all, or even team performances.
