I have never before called for manager to be replaced and wasn't at today's match so can't comment specifically on it. However, in my opinion results and performances in ther past couple of months have led me to the view that we need a new manager for next season otherwise our place in the top league could well be in peril.

Like most others, I was prepared to give Brewster the benifit of the doubt when he returned despite his abysmal record in trying to manage a Dundee United team much better resoursed than ICT could ever hope to be. However apart from the run of victories which handed him the "curse" of manager of the month for December, results and performances have ben amongst the worst they've been since we joined the SPL.

He doesn't just make mistakes but repeats the same mistakes time and time again and appears to have no concept of well timed tactical substitutions or any other means of turning games round from losing positions. His man management skills also seem to be a problem which appear to have resulted in John Rankin, who otherwise appeared to be settled at the club to become unsettled due to ill judged and premature remarks made in public by Brewster long before he had had a proper opportunity to assess his squad.

I know that the manager is not soley responsible for the team's current ills but frankly I have seen nothing to indicate that Brewster either possesses or is capable of learning the skills either as a tactitian or a motivator which this club needs even to sustain it's current position far less to make any progress into the top six of the league.

Brewster acted very honourably when Dundee United first approached ICT for his services and his conduct then clearly endeared him to the board. He was rewarded for that honourable conduct by being given a second chance at ICT but has not done anything, in my opinion, to demonstate that he is a competent, far less a good, manager nor that he's likely to become one.

There's no panic this season because of the Gretna situation but whe relegation issue next season is likely to be much more competitive with Hamilton, Dundee or St Johnstone all capable of holding their own.

In the past I've been of the view that Brewster should be given until the end of the season to prove himself or otherwise. Franky, however, I can't see any signs of progress oir potential progress and reluctantly now believe that we would be better getting a new manager in before the end of the season so that he can assess the squad and make decisions ahead of next season.

Can't disagree with those asking for an announcement soon. I don't post here often and last time I did about Brewster I think it was something along the lines of, "I didn't think he was the right man for the job, but as a fan of the club let's wait til the end of the season and judge from there". Well, our season is over now in reality and nothing has made me believe he is taking this club anywhere but the 1st division. Aside from the playing side of things, the treatment of certain players has been a disgrace. If we are going to appoint a new manager Brewster has to go now to give some time to find a new manager before the end of the season, so that he can assess who he wants to keep and where he needs to strengthen during the summer. Bottom line, like many other people have already said today - Brewster OUT NOW!!!

I've always thought that Brewster was the right man for the job but we just don't look like getting out of this hole at the moment.

Did the baking of Savage in the paper count a a vote of confidence?  I hope so as we all know what happens after a managers receives one of them!!

Savage  :sillywave:

Bennet :sillywave:

Brewster :sillywave:

You need to post more often, Troublegum....  :018:

I always worried about Brewster's ability to actually build a team

...

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.

Couldn't agree more, G.

Get in Jim Duffy and bring back Baz....NOW!

We are so missing the experience of Baz and someone who actually has passion for the club and knows how to implement tactics, how 2 get the players working as a team again and create oppertunities from nothing...we have nobody of late..and the results are showing this.

The lack of leadership, direction is so poor of late i cant see the situation getting better.

We seem to be in freefall and the confidence must be rock bootom with the players and they all must be wondering wat is going on when the manager can treat experience pros like the way he has.

Surely he must walk and think he will at the end of season if not pushed cos i think he knows the players aint playing for him and have lost respect of him due to his poor man-management style.

This game is business oriented and the lack of points means less ????'s at the end of the season. If poor performances are allowed to continue then i am sure the attendances will suffer. Thus resulting in less monies available for next year!!!!!!!!!

The Board must and should listen to the fans.

Thank fek for Gretna!!

Has nobody on here sussed that Ralph milne is the enigma that is Craig "Ego" Brewster check his postings all about how brewster is the messiah

No... wrong there... I used to think that too, until a Ralph Milne post appeared about 4pm one Saturday afternoon when Brewster was sat in the dug-out..

Belive me,he is the ego,whoever posted at 4pm was a ghost,throwing us off the scent!!

Who else unless their one of Johndos clients could possibly back such an inept manager the way he has!!!

Check the postings thats all i can say

I've made contact with him - he is not Brewster...

I know what you mean about the posts.... same as that Stevieco guy who only ever posts on Marius.

Like when you see somebody yapping on about how we have achieved so much by getting into the SPL,  punching above our weight, the difficulties in attracting people up here to the frozen north...etc, etc... You just know it's Savage, or a member of the board....

Sorry but i cant disagree,anyone that blinkered about Brewster and who has to defend his posts is either Brewster or someone very close to him

Like a Mrs Mann :rotflmao:

At least Mrs Mann never tried to hide her identity..............Maybe its Brew's bed warmer

I origionally voted for Brewster to go. After a few hours of calming down and thinking about it I feel.

1. The board probably consider this season a write off and I don't think they will go to the trouble of replacing Brewster before the end of the season. Even at the end of the season I can't see it happening. It seems like it would be too much hard workfor them and they would rather plan a summer concert at the stadium  :023:

2. Brewster should be given a chance to explain his teams poor performance and explain to the fans what he intends to do about it e.g punishing players he feels have been playing badly, altering tactics.

3. Who would be a likley candidate for Brewsters replacement that is without a club/ likley to be willing to come and manage us.

4. We must remember that there are events behind the scenes that we are not aware off. There could be various reasons as to why we are doing so badly. Their will also be events behind the scenes that impare us into choosing a suitable sucsessor to Brewster if it comes to that.

You obviously know f... all about football and the way its run because some of the ***** you've posted is beyond belief. You and people like you are the reason I seldom watch live football now because the crap and nonsense that some people spout is a joke. How can a manager expect to build a team in less than a season ? the reality and your expectations are miles apart :018:

I will probably get a reprimand for this rant but muppets like YOU need to get real

P.S You can also check my post on the other thread, maybe you'll be telling me i'm someone else next :33:
