I always worried about Brewster's ability to actually build a team, and it seems I am being proved right unfortunately. I haven't made it to a game this season so I can't comment on specific performances, but Brewster was shocking at Yinited and it seems more and more likely that he got lucky during his first spell here.
He took us over when we had a settled squad and more than enough ability to finish where we did, so didn't have a lot to do really. I'm not saying he was rubbish as he obviously made tweaks and small changes such as the fitness etc. However, the foundation was there and no major changes were required. He seemed to play himself far too much at times and seemed a bit selfish as the tactics appeared to be "thump the ball to Brew" in certain games, the worst being a trip to Motherwell i recall. Brew up on his own, everyone thumping the ball up to him, which the Motherwell defence dealt with comfortably.
He then left us to join Dundee United, and actually had to build a team as Yinited were hopeless at the time, yet he was clueless and actually made them worse! He had to go there and buy players to replace the dross that they had at the time, which he managed to do by buying more dross, such as Proctor and Steven Robb. His amazing record of about 3 wins in 30-odd games or whatever it was showed that whilst good at coaching a good team, he clearly had no eye for a player and could not buy a decent player.
This amazing record led to him getting the sack, and the fact that Levein has largely the same squad barring a few additions shows that Brewster has no tactical or motivational nous either, and Levein doesn't have Robson to bail him out either! So this appeared to be a record so good that ICT brought him back when Christie resigned, and barring a decent run towards the end of last year, we've been useless. Added to the fact of his reported treatment of players such as Rankin and Wyness (I don't know the stories well enough to comment properly), it all adds up to the fact that I think he should go.
So it's over to the ICT Board now, we've never been in the position of having to sack a manager before and they've got a decent record of doing what's necessary (barring Brew's reappointment), so it's time they stood up and did the right thing.
