Buzz Killington Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 There's been a few games where Kerr, whilst playing right wing back , was our most (only) attacking threat. Billy Dodds is not a man to be trusted to build a squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came in with a lot of energy, but think he's gone backwards further into the season Cammy been surprisingly good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contacts he had and the pull his name has had quality players falling over each other to sign for us. He's a The Caley legend in my eyes. I'll ignore the black mark against him, which is his political views. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I've got a framed, signed shirt from the 2009/10 season, fantastic manager. I do think you can trace some of the problems we have now back to his tenure, although they aren't really things that he did wrong. By all accounts Butcher ran the club, he was in charge of everything. He left and Hughes developed the squad Butcher put together but as soon as it came time to renew and rebuild, things started going South. The fact that Butcher was such a big figure at the club allowed the board at the time to abdicate responsibility for developing proper structures at the club and that came back to bite us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that too, a much smaller and shorter version of what Sir Alex Ferguson's tenure at Man United was like, and look at the nick of them these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the football we played under him, diagonals to Foran for him to knock them down to Mckay,Doran etc was great to watch. Still remember the game where we beat Hibs 2-0 and he was sat in the directors box with their board. Good atmosphere that day Think I’ve got over the way he left and appreciate what he done for us now Not surprised he’s a Tory tbf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I'm a big Stevie Paterson fan considering how he put some great teams together in the lower leagues, but for me Terry Butcher was the outright best manager we've had so far, he brought some good players and moulded them into great teams, Marley Watkins ffs. Great days where we fans attended every game absolutely sure we were going to win. I'll never forget when Terry walked onto the pitch at Ibrox pre game and a roar went up from the home fans yet Terry ignored them as he walked over to our corner wedge stood in front of us and applauded!! Fantastic, then he turned to the Rangers fans and gave them a wave. Aye Terry was the man for us. He has come through bad times with the loss of his son. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneThrowAway Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 *Absolutely not stirring or gloating* I heard through the grapevine that ICT may be announcing Administration on Friday... is it likely there is any truth to this? I've obviously read Ross Morrison's comments on the Battery Storage (I assumed these were more to put pressure on The HC), but are things really at that dire a stage? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've obviously read Ross Morrison's comments on the Battery Storage (I assumed these were more to put pressure on The HC), but are things really at that dire a stage? As soon as Friday? No I wouldn't have thought so. A lot does depend on the outcome of the vote on the battery farm tomorrow though. We have got absolutely f**k all cash. They admitted at the meeting last week that they had to ask for an advance on the Scottish Cup semi final money from a few years back against Hearts. a question was asked about the club only having reserves to cover three months. These found this hilarious, one response was I wish it was that much. The directors have been funding the losses ever since we have been in the championship and it is coming to the time where they no longer want to be doing so, no wonder tbh. I think they will continue to cover the loses for this and next season but after that you are talking about Admin/Part-time football if we lose the battery farm vote/cash. Take that with a pinch of salt though as that is pure speculation on my part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Loads of whining and objections to the proposed Battery Storage project on Facebooks Inverness Awareness page. Some balanced against arguments but mainly the usual nimby moans. In these cash strapped times for councils you would think the Council will vote in favour given the business rates income the project will generate. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I fully expect the vote to go against the battery farm and for us to go into administration. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the club went out of business and this is our last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her comments can basically be summarised as "Build it somewhere else just not near me". Don't get me wrong, ICT have played a bit of a minter in this as well but some of those opposing the scheme are displaying classic teuchter mentality. And yes, a strange number of people really excited about a gym closing down to be replaced by a *checks notes*....bowling alley... 6 minutes ago, Stellaboz said: Are Caley really in danger here? If what fans have been told at recent supporters meetings is true then yes. If this doesn't go ahead we miss out on a lump sum of a couple of million IIRC and we are looking at part time football in the very near future if not administration as the current board will only cover our losses for so long. Obviously this sucks but on the plus side it will hopefully mean Scot Gardiner sods off for good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part-time football does not equate danger to the existence of a football club. Until Inverness from board room level down accept the fundamental concept of actually paying out only what their own income generates and sucking up whatever level they end up playing at as a result, any outside sympathy should be reduced to zero. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
