Bye Bye Brewster

[Bridge_Ender]

3-0 down, down to 10 men, it doesn't look good for Craigy boy!

Don't like to see people lose thier jobs and didn't enjoy seeing either Robbo or Pele lose out at Hearts or the Dons but this is different.

Surely he's gone by 5pm???

[Guest Cotter]

4-1 10 men Bye Bye

[Guest Cotter]

Did i hear right, 5-1?

[Bridge_Ender]

5-1 and, I think, 5 debutants today as well  :010: :017:

[Tug]

me thinks that will be one job on the go on monday.

question is who would want it?

[Tichy_Blacks_Back]

He sounded absolutely gutted on the radio - did he really sound like he really thought he would be still be taking training on Monday morning - it didn't sound like it to me  :024:

[beachcomber]

Get him back in as a centre forward - pay as you play.

He's still got a big presence on the park. :014:

[Dmacca]

Get him back in as a centre forward - pay as you play.

He's still got a big presence on the park. :014:

Interesting ideal, but would the fans welcome him back?

[Tug]

fraid not

maybe as a player he would be better but i always felt he was trying to much to be the hero all the time. everything seemed to go to him at all times when he was on the park

[+Gringo]

Not a chance. He made his bed, now he'll have to lay in it. Just goes to show the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

[Johnboy]

Lot of DUFC fans on Traynor's programme tonight, saying he's not been given enough time in the job... There's been no comment from the grocer... Can he afford to get rid of him and appoint someone else just now? I think he'll probably stay put now till the end of the season....

Also at Hearts.. is the whole team still up for sale, as was promised if they couldn't beat Dunfermline....?

I think not......

Today's been a bit of an anti-climax for me.

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

It's like Dad's Army, bottom by one point, 25 or more games to go, 2 more wins likely and with the crowd shouting 'Don't Panic'. Stillie dropped after calling a crisis meeting to support the Manager. The press think it's all over, ......

[Guest Cotter]

just another typical week in spl footie :024:

[ralph milne]

CE 1, CA 3.  I DON'T FIND YOUR CHAT AMUSING. CB DID A GOOD JOB FOR US,  GET A LIFE !!!!!

[Johnboy]

Ralph.....

You have to remember that Brewster took over a successful side at ICT... ok... he kept it going, but more through his contribution as a player.......it's not like he came here and saved a sinking ship.......

Ralph,

Brewster was made to look good by a dedicated ,hardworking squad, ok he played the fitness card, but he was never a man manager.His ego did not allow him let main players be in the spotlight. I do not wish the man ill, but even at his beloved DU,after joining them he has failed. His promised loyalty to ICT and "his" players was short lived maybe the grocer will be more loyal to him, I doubt it.

Who said I was criticising Brewster in its entirety? Dundee United have deep rooted problems and Brewster's failing was that emotion and money sucked him in. Money will suck him out and I am sure he will then head to Greece to lick his wounds and start work again. Potentially he is a very good professional person and I give him great credit for the way that he has built himself up in society and looked after his physical fitness.

Very few people today would suggest he has done a good job for Dundee United this time around. In fact he has been brutally honest that his record is completely unacceptable and his use of inexperienced players yesterday shows that like Bertie, he lacks faith in the squad he built up. Why did he ditch highly experienced players and then argue a few months later he didn't have any experience in the team?

Craig feels you have to plumb the depths before you can start climbing again.Clubs need decent fans like yourself to stay to the renaissance.

[Guest Kieran]

2 wins out of about 30 games isn't good enough for a decent squad that should be pushing for a top-six place so in my opinion Brewster has to go. And anyway why did he get rid of players that were of a good quality?

[Yngwie]

The big name players he got rid of were overpaid duds.

I'm sure Brew can't help wondering how different it might be if he'd got Dods in, to sort out the defence, and give some leadership on the park.

Utd's defence has been shocking recently (and incidentally Proctor has been as guilty as anyone).

As for the lack of leadership........ Robson as captain  :017:

[crownjaggie]

Very simple Kieran. Because they were a huge drain on the wage bill. 

[RiG]

Brewsters entire United 'revolution' was going to be built around getting cetain players from ICT. He never got them and had no other options in the transfer market. So in a way Graeme Bennet and David Sutherland, by playing hard ball, are the ones who have gotten CB sacked  :015:

[EWS]

NotW, that fine newspaper, claims that Brewster will be sacked tomorrow, and Craig Levein will be instated within 48 hours.

[tm4tj]

Well, I feel sorry for Brewster.

The poor guy is gutted.  He took the wrong job at the wrong time, he should have stayed with us for a couple of seasons while he was still learning the trade.  Too much too soon, the jump up from managing a team with low expectations to managing a bunch of duds with high fanbase expectations was too much to handle.  He can't do it overnight and his record at United is extremely poor, whereas we have gone from strength to strength. Lets not forget he took our team forward and did his bit for us.  A lot of our fans are bitter about the way he departed, but it seemed like the next step for him, just too early in his managerial career though.

I for one take no joy at seeing the guy being laughed at every time his losers lose, his esteem must be at an all time low.  If you were not performing great at your job would you want publicly slated or would you prefer coaching. Yes he made a rod for his own back, but gloating over this is in poor taste.

He made the wrong decision and that is of his own doing, I will let him suffer in silence.
