Ahead of meeting auditors, ICTFC advisor Alan Savage says there’s been a lot of support forthcoming for Caley Thistle. He believes the financial outlook for the League 1 club should’ve been addressed sooner.
It is with great sadness that one of our long term Caley and then Inverness CT supporters has passed away. Johndo Mackenzie, or as most of us on CTO knew him as Immortal Howden Ender. RIP my friend, you were one of a kind, and will always be Immortal.
We weren’t good enough on Saturday. No excuses, but it’s always harder when you are playing 12 instead of 10. How is this not a red card. Asst. Ref right there :
We remain ready to throw our meagre support behind a credible local consortium of known local business people with as much vigour as we have opposed what appears to have been the final hail-mary attempt of the current CEO's tenure.
#TogetherNESS
#InverNESS
It is the opinion of all on CTO that Aaron deserved better treatment than the silence he and others have been subjected to. Surely a shred of human decency could have been allocated to Aaron to support him better throughout this process. Shameful...
@SJSuth10
No Shane. Thanks to YOU for setting this in motion. Less than 24hrs and the target is smashed. Aaron will get his op the club should have funded, and looking at the list of donators, it’s a community of fans, staff, colleagues, former colleagues and journalists!!
#TogetherNESS
Highly regarded coach and all-round nice guy apparently. Another shameful, shabby personnel decision & treatment. Here's hoping when somebody stops the rot
@ICTFC
people like Ryan, Aaron and others are lured back to turn us back into a community club ... IF WE STILL EXIST.
Scottish Cup winner, 1st division champ, regular POTY contender, a mentor to many of our promising talent currently at the club and arguably one of our best ever keepers with 16 years of service.
Shameful, just shameful.
ludicrous decision making has seen our stock plummet whilst 'shady' dealings were investigated. The failed Concert Company, the Battery Storage, the Statkraft contract have all ended badly leaving the club facing insolvency.
That's another fine mess you've got us into.
Disappointed that resignations have not been offered yet. Keeping fans waiting in silence for three days is unforgivable and relationships are drifting further apart than ever before. Silence is not the way forward, we deserve better as fans...
Rank-and-file support has no confidence in the current regime and until the CEO is officially no longer part of the
#ICTFC
setup then healing cannot begin. Apologies/humility in the direction of Messrs. Doran, Ridgers, Esson and the fans may also help.
#Community
#TogetherNESS
Empty words from the knee surgeon who told Aaron Doran to basically walk off his ACL. Which players specifically is he talking about? When is the CEO leaving? Where's the apology for the Kelty debacle? Give us that and you might (big might) get folks back 🫣
@austsamuels9
Good luck Austin. Would have loved to see you at ICT helping us to try and rebound, but like the fans, and the other players, you deserve better than the current situation.

Another disasterclass from our declining club. Ridgers, Doran, Harper, Esson, Duffy, Samuels, Mackay, Shaw, Hyde, Big Harry and a number of youths. Not one of them treated with the respect they deserve. Instead: SILENCE. You can't run a club like this. Have a word with yourself!
Finally someone we know pops his head above the parapet to express concern. Hopefully everyone will watch the videos by

Not one for knee-jerk reactions but every member of the current leadership at ICT from boardroom to dugout needs to go. We need to rebuild - if we manage to recover - and become a community focused club again.

We were fortunate to have someone on the park to inject that bit of extra quality to get us the win. That will be difficult to replicate this season. His name was Aaron Doran, our very own rose, and now abandoned by the club in his hour of need. Shameful!
Nothing official from the club as we speak, but the Inverness Courier are running with a story that Ross Morrison has resigned at 18:00 tonight. More to come as this story develops, but most fans are looking for more heads to roll. Board Meeting tonight!

Well, it's going to be controversial whatever the decision, but where would you like this game to be played.

What's your choice.
The Inverness Courier have revealed that Scot Gardiner has resigned as CEO of Inverness Caledonian Thistle, but remains at the club to work his notice and try to resolve issues after the clubs relegation.
For 20+ yrs now we have sponsored one or more ICT players each season. For the last 3 seasons we have sponsored Cameron Harper. As we transition out of the COVID scenario, the club needs these sponsorships more than ever - join our group here.

@ICTFC
The only positive to take from today was Caley Jags fan Jamie Mackinnon stepping in to save the game being abandoned and running the line after the referee went off having made too many wrong decisions... Or maybe he was injured.
Well done you.
JeezO- talk about being unable to read the room. Bedlam all around, & the man, a retired surgeon, who (allegedly) told a club legend to walk off his ACL injury is doubling down on how much they look forward to the new owners.

McAlear the hero: He picked himself up and curled a beauty into the top right corner of Zander Clarks goal. What a strike from a man who doesn't do tap ins against a 6ft 5" keeper.
Inverness shaded it with two second half goals. Brooks after 57 mins when he ran onto a through ball to guide it into the bottom corner and a well worked goal manufactured by Cairns and Ben Corner before Calum Mackay lashed his feed high into the net from 12 yards in 83rd minute.
