It has to be Brian Irvine

Prolly not. Can't think that Butcher's donr too much in management, and Pressley's completely unproven.

I felt that Robbo had just started to work out how we should play in the SPL when he left. I don't think the results would have been too different had Robbo stayed and managed the club instead of Brewster. Would be an interesting option. Can't see Butcher and Pressley leaving Scotland to come up here. Could we afford them?

Brewster is/was a Dundee Utd fan. That's what the lure was when they came calling.

"Mr Brewster just knew the press were going to crucify him after this latest loss."

"Stand up if you love Brewster"

Someone in Dingwall not on trial? Shurely shome mishtake!

And you said: "You're too sexy for your shirt"

And I would love it, just love it, if he scored the winning goal against the sheep in the after split game.

Nothing wrong with retrogression, if it works. The poroof of the pudding, however....

Agreed. It's a huge task indeed and something we simply haven't really dealt with over the course of last summer and into this season. You could perhaps argue that you can see what has happened when cetain players weren't replaced effectively. We now find ourselves battling to finish 10th instead of going for this magical "Top 6" spot. Get it wrong next season and we WILL be back in the SFL. Undoubtedly, the cause has been not dealing with issues as they arose. Not replacing Dods was criminal - we had 8 months notice that he was going. If the problem isn't being addressed as we speak, it may already be too late. The only other ray of hope is that Hamilton's record in the top division is very poor, but we shouldn't have to rely on other teams being cr@p to save our bacon.

not really. The cynical part of me says this has been done to appease the baying masses. But wouldn't sorting out Wyness's contract be a better move on that front? All we're doing here is giving some bloke a trial, which may lead to nothing.

As they say, desperate times need desperate measures. If Juanjo can provide some width and creativity to our midfield, the he has to be worth a punt.

The summer has become a vital time for us. We need to strengthen the defence, add flair and width to the midfield and find some goals upfront. This is probably the first major overhaul the team has required in terms of the number of personnel required, and the consequences of getting it wrong don't bear thinking about.

Well, Proctor's not in the same class as McGuire (thank goodness!)

Yes. There seems to be lots of supposition and inference around this matter, with very little concrete facts. A little fact may go a long way here.

Things are never so bad in Inverness that you need to go to Dingwall! But if there's no game in Inverness ?? :001: Go to the pub!

No, he's a friend of Dorothy.

Although, in his defence, Brewster's CAPS LOCK key works.

Our ability to handle the media for 'awkward' issues is very poor. Look at various contract signing/non-signing faragos. Any negative news that encourages predators seeps too easily from the walls of the TCS

The PR side of things, and dealing with the media has always been a farce. When things go well, e.g. Feb 8th 2000, things are fine, but otherwise..... Just look at the various contract signing/non-signing faragos. News that is either negative, or encouraging to predators seems to seep too easily from within the walls of the TCS.

It's no wonder we've being playing so badly, the rate at which we keep shooting ourselves in the foot! The club need to employ someone with some media Savvy stop this happening. Give Mr bannerman a job! Gee, thanks.

Nobody comes out of this smelling of roses, really. Senior management needs to sort this out ASAP, without the help of the media.

No, he shouldn't have said any of that if he didn't think it. But, there are ways of pointing out what the problems are without saying that you don't want to play for a manager. If you tell your boss you don't want to work for them, there can only be one outcome.
