Directors of Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC met today to consider the recent poor run of results, the worst in our SPL history. The outcome is that team manager Craig Brewster and assistant manager Malcolm Thomson have been asked to leave the club with immediate effect. Club chairman George Fraser said:"This decision was not taken lightly but we feel it is in the best interests of the club looking forward. We thank Craig and Malcolm for their endeavours and extend our best wishes to both for their future. "The process of identifying a new management team is underway with the target of an early appointment geared to ensuring that the club retains its SPL status for the 2009-10 season."
In the interim, team affairs have been placed in the hands of director of football Graeme Bennett, first team coach John Docherty and goalkeeping coach Stuart Garden, who will prepare the squad for Saturday's game against Hearts at Tynecastle.
UPDATE:
Now that this has been confirmed by the club there are no end to the names being speculated in the media as it goes into overdrive. Terry Butcher appears to be the front runner according to some, whilst others choose to put John Robertson at the head of the list. Other contenders listed on various websites or newspapers include the following (you might need to take a deep breath before reading this list !!!)
Gordon Chisholm, Archie Knox, Stephen Frail, Derek McInnes, Neale Cooper, Steven Pressley, Duncan Shearer, Jim Duffy, Barry Wilson, Derek Adams, Donald Park, Ally McCoist, Steve Paterson, Craig Brown, John McGlynn, Colin Calderwood ......
The only name that doesnt seem to be in the frame this time ? Neil Warnock
