The owner of Inverness Caledonian Thistle says sorting out "simple things" helped the club recover from a financial crisis to becoming League One champions.
ICT was placed into administration in October 2024 after running up millions of pounds in debts.
Businessman Alan Savage stepped in with an initial injection of £1m of funding, and the club exited administration in September last year.
Recalling the actions taken to achieve that, Savage said: "It was about reassuring the staff, fixing things like shower heads, simple things that had gone wrong."
Inverness secured promotion to the Championship with a 2-1 win over Hamilton Academical on Saturday.
Savage told BBC Radio Scotland's Breakfast programme that administration had been the best way to "clean up" the club's debts.
"They were in a mess," he said.
"A few initiatives had gone south and I think it was looking like the club would be liquidated.
"They needed an injection of cash to pull it out of that and that is when I got involved."

Alan Savage said he wants ICT to be sustainable and not have to rely on bail-outs [BBC]
Savage, who was the club's chairman between 2006 and 2008, said his ambition was to get ICT to a point where it was sustainable and no longer required bail-outs to survive.
He said new initiatives included establishing the club's stadium as a start point for the North Coast 500 tourist route and hosting music events.
"We want more than one day a fortnight of football. We are trying to get life into the stadium every day of the week," said Savage.
