Craziest thread title of the year? Probably.
However, the reality is, we have ended up in a worse predicament than we would have been in if we had kept our shoes on and the board had remained in denial.
There is the slimmest of chances Brewster would have kept us up. Personally I suspect he'd have had us relegated a few weeks ago, but we'll never actually know. He certainly couldn't have done worse than finish bottom.
The real difference is that had we stuck with him, we'd have had several hundred thousand pounds in the bank that we now don't have, having paid him and Malky off, brought in a very expensive management duo and provided them with the funds for all the additional big name players that arrived in late January.
And if relegation had seemed inevitable, the club would have been planning for next season long ago and scouting suitable Div 1 players for the last couple of months. Instead, I fear we may be very unprepared in that respect, because nobody really thought it would come to this.
Sacking Brewster was the right decision, which led to big improvements and gave us hope and belief. But at the end of the day and with hindsight, it turned out to be futile (simply because it happened too late, but that's another debate).
