To be fair to Robbo he hasn't had much chance to prove himself since leaving us. Though he didn't do too bad in his time at Hearts. He took them to two cup semi's and a reasonable run in europe as well as a fifth place in the league. He was ousted because he wouldn't be a puppet. First Div...At County he would have done ok had he not had differences over the budget he was initially promised. Livingston was a low point for Robbo but he is now showing his worth with Derry City.

I'm not rooting for any one person over any other, though I do feel we shouldn't turn to the past for the future, but, assuming it was Brewster who came in what would be everyones thoughts on Barry being his No 2. The reason I'm asking is that I dont think DP will stay under Brew.

The only thing I'd add is the need to get a defensive system in place and that may mean transfers before end of month.

Personally I think it could be too soon for Pele to get back into the top flight with the pressures that brings. The guy is still recovering from his past problems and, just now, he is enjoying both his careers. Until he's 100% sure that he can give up one career and take the other on full time, without the need to drown his sorrows, he will stay as he is.

The man who will do the best job / be the best manager is the one who can get the players we have to gel as a team and to play good football. Whoever it may be.

neksor, before rumbling your gums perhaps you should learn some facts. I have never been, nor did I claim to be, a shareholder in either of the two previous clubs. I am a shareholder in the present company registered at company house as 'Inverness Thistle and Caledonian Football Clubs Plc'. And to correct another point. Ok I overstated about having a right to know who earns what. Shareholders in any company, in order to save hassles and to comply with regulations, vote in an independant auditor to look over the companies accounts. That auditor goes through everything with a fine toothcomb to ensure everything is in order. If shareholders feel the accountant has not done his job properly, or their is suspicion over the figures they can demand to know the breakdown.

Sorry mate but as a shareholder in Inverness Thistle and Caledonian Football Clubs I think I do have a right to know what he earns. I had actually heard of Niculae before. And I would love you to be right about the guy's ability.

Thats right....Charlie Bannerman is the only member of this site with the priviledge to call himself old :003:

Without seating on the pitch I'd guess at around 25,000. But would they get a safety certificate for such gigs.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Yes.................he's brought in on megabucks but nobody knows much about him other than the fact he has his own website with his own home movies on it. If he turns out to be the messiah some folk think he is then great. Until I witness a **** sight better than I have so far then I will remain sceptical.

Dargo had a proven quality and would have shown the others what they could achieve. What has Niculae proven. Yep, scored a few for his national team.......................against who?

Mrs Henry's mum been gossiping again Johndo?

I'm with you on all that oh great immortal extruder of knowledge and wisdom. Contrary to what was said on another thread, I dont wear tinted specs and my lug is forever trailling the ground :023:

And perhaps he also has duties to perform as vice-chairman

I actually think that money would not be an issue for Warnock. He brought his missus up with him last year and she loved the place so that in itself could be a deciding factor.

Insinuating the man has not been in the game for years and has no football knowledge, in my book, is slagging the man off. Its Graeme Bennett who brought in the players we have. Its him who spends a lot of time negotiating deals. And, as has been said already, its him who brought in our previous managers, and who will bring in the next one. The trouble with some, who post on here, is that they have an Old Firm mentality. This team is young but it is maturing and at the right sort of pace and its the people like Bennett, Sutherland, and now Savage who will ensure that the pace doesn't go too fast. They are the ones with the heart and the will to ensure Inverness CT will be a successful business for years to come.

.........our own young Dale Gillespie who has been called up for the Scotland U-19 squad to face Iceland in a friendly next month.

Stole the following transcript from The Caley Jags Bebo page. Hope he dont mind, after all he stole it first. Brewster wants Inverness return Craig Brewster celebrates scoring for Aberdeen at the weekend Craig Brewster is on a short-term contract with Aberdeen Craig Brewster would relish the chance of a return to management with his former club, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, BBC Sport understands. Former Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock is the only candidate to so far publicly express an interest after Charlie Christie's resignation. But 41-year-old Aberdeen striker Brewster emerged as an early favourite. Inverness have yet to talk to potential candidates but hope to make an appointment by the weekend. Indeed, the Caley Thistle board has decided to gauge the feelings of the Scottish Premier League club's supporters before making an appointment. Directors will meet members of the club's supporters' trust on Wednesday evening to discuss head coach Christie's resignation on Monday citing the pressures of the job. Director of football Graeme Bennett told BBC Sport: "We haven't made contact with anyone yet. "We'll have a meeting tomorrow morning to draw up a list of two or three candidates, but we're aware that we have to get our skates on. "We haven't set a specific deadline, but ideally we'd like to have someone in place by the weekend." Bennett would not be opposed to a former manager returning to the club, John Robertson having also been linked with the job along with Brewster. The Inverness director would not speak about individual potential candidates, although he had earlier been quoted by the Daily Express confirming that Warnock's name had been put forward. Warnock quit the Blades following their relegation from the Premiership in England last season. And the 58-year-old said: "I have often talked about managing in Scotland. "We have family up there and my wife has already said she would like to live in Scotland at some point. "I'm dying to get back into the game and if Inverness or anybody else want to talk to me then I would be more than delighted to do so." "I have not always been money-motivated. For me, it is more about the size of the challenge and working for people who have faith in me." Brewster's first, 14-month spell in charge at the Caledonian Stadium ended in January 2006. He had been persuaded to end his time at the Highland club by a return to Dundee United, where he lasted nine months before resuming his playing career at Pittodrie. Robertson, who recently took charge of Derry City, had ended his two-year spell at Caledonian Stadium in 2004 after being enticed back to former club Hearts. Speculation has also linked Maurice Malpas, who parted company with Motherwell during the summer, with the Inverness job. But reports suggesting that injury-plagued Celtic and Scotland defender Steven Pressley could be a candidate are wide of the mark. Meanwhile, Christie's assistant, Donald Park, who is staying on for the moment as caretaker, has already been ruled out the running. Sourse: BBC Sports Scotland

..........I'm amazed by the number of new people who have registered with the site since yesterday. So many of them appear to be young women. I just wonder the reasoning behind this. Are they hoping to influence the board as to the required qualities of the new manager....looks etc. Don't get me wrong. It's great to have so many female fans and I hope you all keep looking in and become friends with the mad, bad, beerswilling, moaning, Dingwall slagging crew of HMS Sneck that are the Innes Internutters. Ladies, perhaps you'd like to expand

No its not. The rumour was that I was senile, now they tell me I'm an alcohol dependant, diabetic, dementia ridden fruitcake. :blah01:

I would imagine Derry would want compensated if he was to come and I doubt Sutherland, as a major shareholder, would sanction such a payment.

Pele, Robbo, Brewster, Christie. To me thats 4 in 10 years and 3 in 5

Seems to have worked ok with Barry Wilson, Dennis Wyness and Richard Hastings. Why not Brew? Right now we are propping up the table with no points. Brewster is a safe pair of hands and someone we know. I would love to see him back at ICT. Was referring to managers not players. How about Pressley and Wilson? Under the wing of DP

The jaggies will win out in the end. ICT home strip Red and Blue ICT away strip Red and Black As the Ulster exile say's: THE RED AND BLACK will COMEBACK
