Chairman of Inverness CT Steps Down Following Controversy Surrounding Move to Fife

Inverness Caledonian Thistle chairman Ross Morrison has resigned, raising questions about the controversial decision to relocate the club’s training base to Fife. The club made this announcement after being relegated from the Scottish Championship, stating that sharing facilities with League 1 rivals Kelty Hearts would be more convenient for attracting players from the central belt and reducing accommodation costs.

However, the move was met with strong opposition from supporters, former players, and coaches who believed it threatened the club’s identity. Over 200 fans gathered at a meeting to protest the decision and express their concerns, with some threatening to boycott buying season tickets. The backlash against the relocation has put significant pressure on the board and ultimately led to Morrison stepping down.

Morrison was convinced that moving the club’s operations to Fife was the best course of action, but his resignation has added uncertainty to the situation. If the decision is reversed, it could raise doubts about the club’s ability to remain full-time and the future of manager Duncan Ferguson. The ongoing turmoil within the club has created a tense atmosphere as supporters wait to see what direction Inverness Caledonian Thistle will take next.
