I'd expect Raven to be signing on within the next few days. They need players, and fast, so I suspect he'll get signed up regardless of who replaces Yogi.
Could be a very difficult season ahead for our neighbours - the 9 points they'll undoubtedly be donated by us could well be the majority of points they'll get all season.

Very good long term deal regarding arguably their best player this season should be announced tomorrow.
All the noise seems to be towards Foran for their next manager. Risky move.

I was actually hoping that the Buffoon would stay and drag them down into the Championship. Actually think they will do okay now next season but still finish a place or two behind us.

He did well alright. Inverness always made shrewd appointments in players and managers.

Speaking of which, Richie Foran is their new manager. I know nothing about him but I can't see him changing things much. Or losing any derbies.

A 4 year deal seems a bit bizarre for a 1st managerial position?
They have a solid enough squad for next season I think, and will probably continue to own us in the derbies, unless Routis becomes our new Kettlewell.

Passed by the Dump today
That's a nice new stand they are building, looks really impressive

Early pressure on Foran after losing their first three games.
Foran's never coached anywhere, it's not like he's done what Kettlewell has done here or Craigan has at Motherwell and managed the U20s. Foran has just gone from a player straight to manager (on a 4 year deal), I just don't see how he can be ready right now.

It seems very odd indeed and there must be a lot of pressure. The team out of the blocks last usually struggle for the rest of the season. We were 7 games 2 seasons ago without a win if I remind right and look how much and how long it took to sort that out, thankfully for us though there was just enough time.

They must be struggling, according to the P&J they have Gavin Gunning on trial. This will be the same Gunning who finished his Dun Utd career by picking the ball up during play against ICT and walked off the park to the bemusement of everyone there even ref Craig Thomson who didn't even book him for hand ball because I don't suppose anyone had seen anything like it in the professional game.
Most Utd fans were glad to see the back of him as they never felt he gave 100%.

I see Foran has been given the Premiership Manager of the Month award. A damn sight better than they were the first few games! He might be turning them into a half-decent side again.

5 points from 3 games in September, so I wouldn't get carried away. Albeit the two draws were against Aberdeen and Celtic.
I'm certainly hoping that this form continues for quite some time, especially for the derbies. We could do with getting the better of them for a while, there's been too much one way traffic over the past encounters. I don't get up to see them often as I live in Gloucester. My last visit to Victoria Park (can't get used to the new name), was the kicking Caley gave us in March, so watching County beating them at the dump, was especially good, even though it was only on TV and not in person. The one concern I have is the number of good players that we seem to have sold. I'm hoping the replacements and current players can keep tis run going. It will be very interesting to see how we fair against the zombies.
