Duncan Ferguson working for free to help save Inverness Caley Thistle
Inverness Caledonian Thistle manager Duncan Ferguson says he is working for free to help the Highland club through a financial crisis.
The League 1 club needs to raise £200,000 in two weeks to avoid being placed in administration this month.
Ferguson, who took a pay cut in August, said: “I felt it would be appropriate for myself to offer my wage into that pot.”
He said he would continue to work without his salary until ICT was safe, but added: “Obviously I can’t go without a wage forever because I have got to put food on the table, but at the moment needs must.”
The Inverness club confirmed on Thursday that interim chairman Panos Thomas has resigned with immediate effect “due to a personal family reason”.
“It is now time for me to hand over to others to find a way forward for the club,” Thomas said in a statement.
The news of Thomas’ resignation comes after Caley Jags wrote to shareholders warning them the club was at risk of being insolvent.
It has appealed to major shareholders and former directors for help, and suggested setting up a Save ICT Appeal to help raise the £200,000.
Ferguson said he decided on Wednesday night to give up his wage.
He said he would not ask others to do the same.
Ferguson added: “I’ve done my bit. I’ve given up that wage and I’m still working for the club.
“I’m making sacrifices.”
Ferguson played for Dundee United, Rangers, Everton and Newcastle United before returning to Everton.
His coaching career included a spell at Forest Green Rovers.
Ferguson joined Inverness last September following the sacking of Billy Dodds and his assistant Barry Wilson.
The club was bottom of the Championship at that time.
It was later relegated in a play-off against Hamilton Accies.
Even if it successfully avoids going into administration this month, ICT said it would need further injections of funds to survive the rest of the season.
Losses ran to £1.2m last season and the club has forecast a similar loss this season, but warned that figure would not include money spent on restructuring following relegation.
ICT Supporters Trust has urged major shareholders and former directors to help prevent the club from going into administration.
It said: “We are hugely concerned about recent events regarding the club’s financial future.
“It was only five weeks ago that supporters were advised that the club had been saved and administration was no longer a possibility.”

The trophy is Messi’s 46th piece of silverware in his glittering career for club and country.
By finishing top of the standings, Miami have secured home advantage during the post-season play-offs.
“The first objective has been achieved and now we have to think about what’s next,” said Messi.
“The first round is three games but then it’s one game and anything can happen. But we have the great advantage of playing all the games at home, which is what we were looking for. We are very strong at home.”
Miami need two wins from their final two league matches to beat the MLS record for most points in a regular season, which currently stands as the 73 amassed by the New England Revolution in 2021.

FPL tips & team of the week: Brennan Johnson, Evanilson and Bryan Mbeumo are great value for Gameweek 7
David Raya, Arsenal, keeper, £5.6m – home to Southampton
This is the second of Arsenal’s plum home games in a row and, despite last week’s disappointment, they are the team most likely to keep a clean sheet in gameweek seven.
Taking Raya is a hefty investment, but he has been worth it this season with three clean sheets and also six bonus points.
Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal, defender, £5.8m – home to Southampton
Doubling up on Arsenal’s defence feels like a safe bet.
It’s a small sample size, but in Calafiori’s two starts for Arsenal, he has a higher expected goals number (xG) than goal machine Gabriel (0.26 to 0.21).
The Italian scored a cracker at Manchester City and is averaging a couple of shots per game he starts. He’s also had more touches in the box than any other Gunners defender in the past two games.
Rico Lewis, Manchester City, defender, £4.7m – home to Fulham
Speaking of touches in the box, Lewis leads that statistic for City and for just £4.7m he feels like an FPL cheat code, with a decent chance of an attacking return.
The flip side is you never know who Pep Guardiola is going to play on any given week in defence, but Rodri’s absence makes Lewis’ involvement against Fulham feel a bit more likely.
At the price, Lewis owners can make sure they have a decent fourth defender in case he stays on the bench.
Max Kilman, West Ham, defender, £4.5m – home to Ipswich
A budget defender at home to the team with the lowest xG so far this season – makes sense, right?
Kilman is a threat from corners – he scored twice last season for Wolves and has had two headers on target so far this term.
Team-mate Konstantinos Mavropanos has been more threatening from set-pieces this season, but he didn’t start the last game.
New signing Jean-Clair Todibo should eventually become Kilman’s defensive partner and he will make West Ham’s defence better.
Smallbone and Coleman have not played for their clubs since featuring for the Republic of Ireland last month.
Coleman hobbled off with a leg injury in the 2-0 defeat by England.
Smallbone started in both home losses against England and Greece but a hamstring issue has prevented him from playing for Southampton since then.
Taylor, 26, has been in previous Republic squads but the Ipswich midfielder, who made seven appearances for the Irish Under-21 in 2019 and 2020, is yet to earn a full cap.
The Irish will face Finland in Helsinki on 10 October before taking on Greece in Athens three days later.
Hallgrimsson began his Republic of Ireland reign with last month’s two defeats and will be seeking significant improvement both in terms of performances and results in the Helsinki and Athens contests.
Republic of Ireland squad
Goalkeepers: Caoimhin Kelleher (Liverpool), Mark Travers (AFC Bournemouth), Max O’Leary (Bristol City).
Defenders: Festy Ebosele (Watford, on loan from Udinese), Mark McGuinness (Luton), Dara O’Shea (Ipswich Town), Nathan Collins (Brentford), Andrew Omobamidele (Nottingham Forest), Liam Scales (Celtic), Callum O’Dowda (Cardiff City), Robbie Brady (Preston North End).
Midfielders: Josh Cullen (Burnley), Jayson Molumby (West Bromwich Albion), Jason Knight (Bristol City), Finn Azaz (Middlesbrough), Jack Taylor (Ipswich), Jamie McGrath (Aberdeen).
Forwards: Adam Idah (Celtic), Evan Ferguson (Brighton and Hove Albion), Sammie Szmodics (Ipswich Town), Chiedozie Ogbene (Ipswich Town), Mikey Johnston (West Brom), Troy Parrott (AZ Alkmaar), Kasey McAteer (Leicester City).

“We said, ‘why was he bringing on Maguire and Evans?’ That’s why.”
Those were the words of Robinson moments after England defender Maguire met Christian Eriksen’s 91st-minute corner to send a thumping header beyond Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa.
It was 3-3. Relief for Ten Hag and United’s supporters.
David: Has Harry Maguire just saved Erik ten (man’s) Hag’s job?
Scott: Ten Hag saved by the man he stripped the captaincy from and has tried to sell for two years!
Seb: I think Maguire has just kept Ten Hag in a job. Another questionable performance from Manchester United.
Maguire himself admitted that, despite his late rescue act, there were parts of United’s display that were indeed questionable.
“When you get 2-0 away from home you have to be a little bit more solid and there were far too many gaps,” the England international told TNT Sport.
“Too many crosses were coming into the box for sure and they ultimately punished us for it.
“It’s something we need to improve. If we want to be successful this season we can’t keep conceding two goals.”
