The ICT Supporters Trust welcomes the news that ICTFC CEO, Scot Gardiner, has officially left the club.
His tenure as CEO has taken ICTFC to the brink of administration and brought severe division between the football club, its supporters, and the local community. He did not appreciate the true value of the club’s supporters and allowed the fundamentals of running a football club to be replaced by grand schemes that ultimately failed and have publicly damaged the club’s reputation.
The departed CEO was reportedly the architect of the flawed Kelty plan to rip the heart & soul of ICT away from the Highlands. That, along with the way that the football club has operated in recent months, was the final straw for our support.
Whilst the club’s finances remain in a precarious position, we hope that fans can now get back behind the club and purchase season tickets and merchandise. The introduction of Alan Savage to the club is exactly the type of individual we need stepping up to assist at this time and hope to see many more fans work with the club during this period of recovery.
ICT supporters should be proud of what they have achieved. We fought for a change in the senior leadership at the club, we fought for our youth academy to be saved, and we fought for the Kelty plan to be ditched. On all those fronts we have succeeded. There is a very powerful lesson for all involved with ICTFC and any football club. Listen to your supporters.
Now is the time for every ICT supporter to get behind the team on and off the pitch and show we are stronger together! We will shortly be launching a survey to allow fans to show how they can play their part and join the Supporters Trust in working more closely with the club. The club will require assistance in various areas and we, the supporters, can help fill the gaps by providing that support. Please watch for further information on how you can get involved.
