    What is going on??

    Maloney - off to America
    Riera - already in Spain and probably won't come back
    Delort - unhappy and probably will leave in transfer window
    McManaman - likely to leave in January
    Waton - having a medical at Watford today - will be gone over the weekend

    Ridgwell - in on a 6 week contract FFS!

    Lots of talk about players leaving but no real mention of players coming in. I seriously hope Mackay has got a few things lined up (he says so?) otherwise an already under-performing squad will be even weaker.
    League 1 beckons I feel

    Fire Sale????

    We are severely cutting our wage bill as a "good" result this season will be if (a big if) we can survive in this division!

    Press say Watson's gone on loan or for free as he only had 6 months left on contract!

    More out goings to come yet! I fear by the end of January we'll look more like a league 1 team than a championship team, let alone premiership promotion contenders!

    So who next Ramis back to Spain? Al Habsi to Everton or Newcastle? Fortune is also linked with a move away and (as I put in a previous post) a supposed well informed "idiot" claims Boycey has requested to be transfer listed!

    It appears that everybody we are linked to doesn't want to come

    What's more confusing is we let Nouha ****o go to Wolves last season and he's actually doing the business at this level?

    I think DW's hearts no longer in it! So he's sweeping the decks clear so the unofficial new chairman David Sharpe can start off from a fresh start.

    Worrying thing is Sharpes last venture

    I wouldn't get all overly hysterical yet.

    Yes, Ben Watson's gone today. His contract was up in June anyway and he was on big bucks. He was a shadow of the player he once was which, I know, was likely down to those 2 bad injuries.

    Same with Maloney. Whether we stay up or go down he'll be off. It makes sense to get a few bob for him now if we can in order to balance the books and get rid of another big wage.

    As for MacManaman, he's hit and miss for me and if we can get £4/5m I'd snatch somebody's hands off.

    They've all been fantastic for the club but, like a failing relationship, it's time to move on.

    If you want to blame anyone don't blame DW - we'd still be sat on that muddy slope in the rain at Springfield Park watching us v Aldershot if it wasn't for him - blame Rosler. He spent all the family silver, some £10m, on garbage.

    A big thanks to Ben, and all those that are going, but let's now stabilize the finances of the club for tough times ahead.

    If we all stop moaning and get b

    another rubbish player ..
    we are better rid of these now while we can .. frees up a loan for somebody who can pass a ball..
    we also have another 20 million due from the parachute payment next season... if we can stay up we can build again .. if we go down still buid again but will be harder to ever get back to the Prem .

    oh stop moaningabout players leaving and us looking like a league 1 side, do you not think the players that are here already look like a league 1 side with there performances, i say thank god all these players are leaving. im glad macca has gone hes done nothing for ages now and only played well at the weekend because other teams would be watching him.

    its time for a clear out and thats what they are doing, you say more out goings than coming in?? what 4 players have gone and 2 in, is that really alot to cry about.

    lets look at whos gone.
    maloney - 32 and passed it america is his retirement home.

    tavernier - any one seen him play ?

    Riera - another spannish flop, hardly did anything with nothing to offer good job hes gone.

    watson - scored the wonderful header to with the F.A Cup. was absolutely garbage before that and still is, to slow on the ball.

    macca - young lad looking to progress in his career, done nothing with us since last season.

    you say forshaw is linked with moving, l

    Not moaning ...just pointing out facts. There is no way we should have been allowed to go from Premier League and FA Cup Winners to probable League 1 next year - all in 18 months.

    Now lets be clear I am not ar$ed if we end up in League 1...been there done that as they say. It just smacks of asset stripping at the moment, but hey lets see who Malky brings in...

    Linked today with Billy McKay for £150,000 from Inverness...and you say Rosler made some sh1te signings!!!!

    Wigan Athletic have been given permission to speak to Caledonian Thistle striker Billy McKay.

    The Northern Ireland star has been allowed leave by the Scottish Premiership club to travel to the DW Stadium to discuss personal terms with a view to an immediate transfer, with a fee reported to be in the region of £150,000.

    The former Northampton Town hitman could provide much-needed strike power for the Championship strugglers, having found the back of the net five times in his last five appearances for Thistle.

    A Statement from Caledonian club chairman Kenny Cameron read: “Following an approach from Wigan Athletic FC late yesterday afternoon and following discussions with the management team, the board of Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC agreed to allow Billy Mckay leave to travel to DW Stadium for discussion of personal terms with a view to an immediate transfer.

    “Billy has never hidden his ambition to compete at the highest possible level and has always conducted himself in a profess
