It's pretty obvious what was happening but to batter out a seething statement is just really poor. Couldn't agree more, absolute workplace ignorance, there are well documented procedures in how to conduct workforce business discretely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pens_Dark Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Absolutely no surprise that a statement like that would be put out on Gardiners watch. A man lacking in class or professionalism. Embarrassing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be reading that the wrong way but that reads to me like Mckay hasn’t extended just yet. He’s triggered the extension but it’s in his favour to accept it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 3 hours ago, Juanhourjoe said: Still. Club should really have told him this was likely well in advance. An employer would be ill-served by doing so and don't you think that Shane would've known such an outcome was more than likely anyway? The usual tropes have already played out but what I see is another who refuses to recognise when the cruel clock of a footballer's career has ticked too many times. Raven and Tremarco went with similar barbs and no credit came their way as a result of their parting militancy. For Shane to suddenly become a fitness expert is surprising, very surprising given that the first thing that had to be addressed when he re-signed was his weight and slimming was the start that was necessary before anything else. It's such a shame for Shane that this extra year of support from the club didn't give him the necessary time to recover his fitness. I wish him well, even if that includes Elgin. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrie Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 As much as you can for a rival I respected Sutherland- worked hard, never shirked, was awkward to play against. Feels proper shitey the way he's been handled (though would expect the same pish off County). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such an unprofessional way of handling the situation regardless of which party is telling the truth. It’s been handled in such a way that it could be detrimental to the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a terrible look and certainly doesn’t help recruiting new players or keeping those who could leave. I’d reduce McKays deal in the second year due to his age but not the first, he was great last season but he won’t be great forever. In the matter of a week they’ve messed up twice.First balls up giving Dodds a two year contract.Then how they’ve handled this whole situation.Absolute shambles tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, the first thing that came to mind when I read about this was County's handling of Michael Gardyne leaving. When someone has been at the club a long time, even in 2 separate spells, they deserve better than an email or text. Talk to them face-to-face, it's the least you can do. "Thanks for what you've done but we're going to go in another direction next season." Reading his Twitter thread, Sutherland doesn't seem that shocked or cut-up about being let go, that's the business. No need to be quite so half-arsed in letting players go though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 What the f**k is going on at what used to be a decent club. Inverness Caledonian Shambles? Financially disastrous Concerts. Cup start in 5 weeks and a bunch of players not signed. No indication of new players coming in. Part time Highland League clubs are run better. Football is nothing without fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStand10 Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I’m annoyed we’ve given Doran a new contract. I appreciate it’s cost effective but from a footballing point of view surely it makes no sense? He’s caused opposition defences almost no threat for years and the stats back that up, he’s so ineffective solely due to his lack of mobility and pace. Sad, but he’s well past it for me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what sort of deal he is on, if he now on relative peanuts then I don’t really have a problem with it as while he doesn’t contribute much he is still fine to come off the bench rather than paying more to an unknown who could be worse. If he is still on good money, which he was before, he should never be given the contract. Get rid of him and give some of his wages to Mckay (old and getting past it but still a massive part of the team) and then get some other jobber in to sit on the bench most of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought purely on the playing side he would have been released since he was drifting rurther away from being a first choice start. Makes me think they kept him on for another reason, coaching maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpoonTon Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 That statement just keep going and going, and then, just when you thought that the lack of self awareness was complete, it went on some more.

SandyCromarty Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I mentioned on here late last year that I had spoken with Shane and he indicated a return around February this year, a couple of times since then after Feb I asked what was happening with him and got no reply, so it is obvious that there were problems affecting his return which you would expect that the club was fully aware of the problems and suggests that the club did not act. Scot Gardiner - Tottenham Hotspur - Glasgow Rangers - Hearts - Dundee and now with a Provincial Championship team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
