Not quite true Steve. He still has an investment that amounts to a 12% stake in the club. Alex I can assure you it is not an interest Thats rather disappointing .......because I think Savage just might have what it takes to take the club to another level (if not hindered by other parties) . He I think unlike the present board has AMBITION.

I have another question. At what point does it make sense to move from the TCS to a smaller home ? A smaller home in what sense - IF we remain in the SPL there is a minimum all seater requirement. Also I would not consider TCS as a big stadium far from it!!

Sorry ... could you remind me of those assumptions or guide me to the other thread.

David Sutherland was on North Tonight accusing the Supporters Trust of scaremongering, landmarking and name-making. He also suggests that there is no crisis at the TCS and that the present board are capable and competent enough to deal with any situation that arises. I agree that there is not a crisis at the club at present but potentially we are in serious trouble and the situation could soon (very soon) become critical if changes are not made.

Again a mass boycott is highly unlikely but there will be many who will stay away for various reasons - i think personally unless we produce something beyond belief against Rangers this game will attract a smaller than normal crowd for this kind of fixture. I for one will not be going as at this time of year the finances are fully stretched as it is. And the performances certainly do not justify the enterance fee.

I agree with you in a sense doofer about all this talk about what for of mass protest is best. I am of the view most protests staged at football matches are emotion filled spontaneaous acts. If we are winning on Sunday you're right nobody will walk out because thats what we pay our money for - to see our team win. However if we are losing (and quite considerably) you will see the stands begin to empty (whether it symbolises a protest or not) as supporters are (beginning to get) tiresome with defeat after defeat. Also if the results are not going our way - of course (and justly so) there will be chants against Brewster. I think the manager, players and board realise that we the supporters are unhappy and until something changes we the fans will continue to voice our concerns.

Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win and never quit are idiots.

The pitch is probably the best thing that ICT have to offer at the moment - TC cetainly knows how to manage the turf!!!!!

Porter - I think you'll find Porter plays for Motherwell and I doubt very much that Brewster would have any influence on what he does. Well maybe not entirely true - he certainly gifted Motherwell the three goals by playing players out of position!!!

I am afraid that there was little to look forward to. Changing the manager may give a lot a lift but he is making that difficult by making his chosen few the starters at the moment. Esson is a bonus - but gawd to we need a pacy and/or experienced central defender. Cowie may be the surprise package if Brew goes as I would love to see him been given a consistent role and how he performs without Brew on his back. If Black stays he may also keep us up. We also need a couple of strikers - preferably on loan. This season is now all about survival - the longer Brew stays the harder it is going to be to achieve. The players he has jettisoned is coming back to haunt him. I would seriously think about reinstating Bazza and Bayne. Then we can start looking at building a team around Duff, Vigurs, Zander etc. Is it Brew or the SFL - ABSOLUTELY. Why have Bayne back - he has only scored 3 goals in SFL whereas his team mates Phinn and Kirk have scored 5 and 9 respectively. We need a proven goalscorer at the highest level. I would certainly reinstate Bazza but sorry no to Bayne. Maybe we could do with someone in the twilight of their career to help the likes of Wood and Rooney.

Messi, Ronaldo.................

....why not give the U19's a run out!!

It was the Police - they were filming the North Stand for a while - I don't know if they had filmed the Main/south stands.

Did anyone else see them at the game today filming crowd. What was that all about? Maybe they should have being filming Brewster because he's criminal!

Its not only Brewster and Blackie that don't see eye to eye - Grassa doesn't like Blackie for reasons only known to him. This was made quite public when Savage was chairman. Indeed Savage was so pissed of with the treatment of Blackie he lent him his BMW. Now thats what I call a Chairman - looking after his prized assets. If only the current board and chairman take heed.

...............has anyone ever thought Grassa might be picking the team

.....surely the BOARD and the DOF have to accept some responsibility. If Brewster is to go then we should see a complete overhaul at managerial and board level. We need a managerial team and a board that is willing to take our club to another level. I am not unrealistic, we are never going to see Champions League football (well who knows) but surely we should now be setting our sights higher than 11th place. Alan Savage I feel was a step in the right direction. At least he was willing to invest in the club with a view to taking us to the next level. Although board members and major shareholders will have everyone believe that Mr Savage would have ran the club into the ground financially ...... I don't think so. Now more than ever is a time for change.

......what happens when we also lose Ian Black in January and possibly Don Cowie. I am of the opinion that Barry still has a lot to offer the club as a player and possibly a coach - BREWSTER YOU KNOW WHERE THE DOOR IS NOW SEE YOURSELF OUT & TAKE THE REST OF THE HEATHMOUNT MAFIA WITH YOU.

Personally i am not in the pro Brewster camp far from it but I do agree that he should be given a chance as he is a relatively new manager. As with all walks of life..... we live we learn. I personally would like to see a complete overhaul at board and managerial level - a complete new set of vision and values. Prudence(which we have in abundance) with a large dose of ambition is what is required. However we can only utilise the tools that we have at the moment so we just have to get on with it.

I certainly hope that is true as the Heathmount Mafia should one day held accountable for their blatant ineptitude and if it means voting with our feet (bums) SO BE IT!

Why dont you just ask your new found friends - Im sure they'l give you the low down on where to go and not to go.

apart from the Fraser Celtic save and the Cowie winner the highlight of the season must be the pitch. Apart from a small bare area in the goalmouth the pitch is impeccable - I applaud the ground staff.

[quote He also said that breaking the club's pay structure with the signing of Marius was perhaps not the board's best ever decision and was something that would have to be re-assessed.

not really. The cynical part of me says this has been done to appease the baying masses. My sentiments exactly - upset the fans by alienating fans favourites Wyness & Wilson, attempt to appease by bringing back another; Juanjo. If it works out hey excellent but at the moment Brewster's management style smacks of ineptitude.

I digress isnt Richard Fairbrass not that gay guy out of right said fred - is he a friend of Juanjo!?

"one or two underlying issues I need to address and manage.." Yes he needs to address his apparent lack of ability to manage!
