IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 It was Shankland but Robbo was exaggerating the wage. But I believe that the agents cut may well have been the doubling reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The previous board has no idea what they were doing and stumbled onto a great team thanks to Terry Butcher, who basically ran the club. The current board also have no idea what they are doing but could end up doing the right things by accident. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I never liked Butcher but being an egotistical narcissist is not a bad thing for a leader. Plus he was a "name" and attracted players sometimes on that basis alone. But our scouting team were second to none at that time, Butcher bullied the Board into bigger signing on fees, contracts and wages but when a dictator is challenged then it becomes a personal battle and his "evil" personna took over. As for the current board they are utterly clueless about football. They were brought in to sort out the finances and try to bring the club back to an even keel. Others have sorted out the communication problems and if anyone is changing the football side it is Robbo, abetted by the likes of Messrs Esson, Tokely and Wilson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it'd still be very surprising if we're paying him anything like that, never mind £1200. I reckon the reference was to Dundee United and Craig Curran. And yep, I'd very much doubt Ayr United are paying more wages than ICT are. Given where both clubs have been playing for the last decade or so. (Not a dig at Ayr United btw, just going by income playing in the SPL/Prem against League One/Championship). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not a dig at Ayr United btw, just going by income playing in the SPL/Prem against League One/Championship).I think it’s well known Shankland turned down teams offering him more money and I think we did bump his wage up but not that much. If he was after more money he’d be away by now. Perfectly reasonable suggestion that Inverness could offer higher wages than us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Young tells a similar story about his step father in the immediate aftermath of St Mirren's cup win. It seemed that some of the team wouldn't be good enough for the new season. I like the fact that you chose Inverness as a Highland team as they have previous European experience. Anything else would be fantastical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the guy who posted that is also on the board of Caley Jags Forever Together. No wonder folk aren't turning up at their AGMs. Also, does that clown on CTO still think Calder is 'a good guy'?

Hopefully he will spend the time reflecting on the stupidity of his actions but that he also gets help for his anger issues. Could have obvious implications on his future career and if he actually has one in football or not. Have no sympathy for the guy for doing what he did but hope that this is not the defining moment of his career as a professional footballer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 1 hour ago, Tarmo Kink said: Wonder if Mahonio / Caley Shaun is in there with him. Not seen him about for a while. When last spotted, he was working his peculiar magic in the Tartan Army Ramblings sub-forum, starting a thread called 'Time for Big Eck to go already', whereupon Scotland promptly won the double-header against Albania and Israel. It always cheers me up when he posts a thread on one of the ICT forums prematurely calling for the head of whoever our current manager is, because it means we're about to go on a brilliant run. It's a rare talent he's got, and one that should be encouraged. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 He demanded Robbo’s sacking after we drew with Alloa and Ayr at the start of the season. We were about 15 games unbeaten at the time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
