How can Scottish football possibly survive.


Recommended Posts

He'd jump at the chance to come back and work with Rangers I'm sure. Maybe under a Director of Football ie Sir Walter?

 

Walter on the board making sure everything is on the up and up is one thing, he shouldn't get near Director of football we need to move on from that.

Inverness chairman upbeat despite financial losses almost doubling

 

Inverness Caledonian Thistle's chairman insists the club's financial figures could have been "devastating" despite almost doubling their losses.

 

The Highland club's losses rose to £378,487 for the year to May 2012.

 

However, chairman Kenny Cameron said football was not immune to the global economic recession.

 

The increase was attributed to manager Terry Butcher's aim to bolster his squad in the successful fight against relegation.

 

Turnover was £3.443m, down just under £100,000 from the previous year, while operating costs increased by a similar amount to £3.836m.

 

Last season the Highlanders were hit by a spate of injuries, which saw Butcher seek funds to add to his squad.

“The outcome may well have been even more financially devastating for the club”

 

Kenny Cameron Inverness chairman

 

Cameron said: "This scenario contributed to the majority of the losses incurred in the year under review. However, my view is that had we not taken the decisions we did, the outcome may well have been even more financially devastating for the club.

 

"The club has also had to operate against a larger backdrop of the continuing global economic recession which, in turn, has impacted the football industry in general," Mr Cameron, who was appointed chairman last season, added.

 

"This has led to an extremely difficult operating environment for Scottish clubs and ICT FC are no exception. However, with the continued support and co-operation of directors, shareholders, sponsors advertisers and, most of all, our supporters, we look forward to a more positive outcome in the coming accounting period.

 

"Given the uncertainties experienced throughout Scottish football over the summer months of 2012, it is pleasing to note that our season ticket revenues for season 2012-13 are currently on budget."

Seems this 'economic recession' is only affecting the SPL!, I'm sure the chairmen of all the 3rd division clubs are making a small fortune just now:smokin:
