Brewsters New Contract?

All advertisments are hidden for logged in members, why not log in/register?

People are absolutely delusional if they think Brewster will have no options above league 1/2. I can guarantee most of championship will be interested on a free.

Sometime i really question the bitterness some of our fans have towards him just cause he cost a lot and has been injured. Absolutely not his fault.

His attitude has been absolutely first class. With fans like ours who needs enemies eh
 

It shouldn’t even be a debate, should be released end of.
He could genuinely retire on the money he’s syphoned out of this club.
Thought new contracts were earned.

Signings are ultimately football club decisions. One of the first things PA did when he got sole ownership was to install a technical board that voted on signings and could also recommend signings to be voted on.The signing of Brewster was unanimously agreed upon by a democratic process. It was twisted afterwards as being "all Wilder's fault", or an example of Wilder bullying the Prince (bollocks then as it is now). The majority of the technical board failed to use their votes to veto the transfer. Both they - and Wilder - wanted Brewster and share (or at least should share) culpability.

At an online fans forum during lockdown members of said board went into great depth about the Lowe/Bogle joint deal. Wilder presented them. The majority of the technical board thought them too expensive ( it turns out 3 million for both). Wilder was outvoted and the proposed transfer was vetoed.

At a future meeting he came with a more persuasive argument and they changed their mind and voted in favour of the transfer.

Fair enough.
Is there a "technical board" under the new owners ?
On the evidence of the last 5 years , would you be voting to give Brewster a contract of longer than 12 months ?
 
I feel it's dangerous to bank on his improving form. Brewster,before his injury at Peterborough, had the majority wanting him to start off the back of some promising displays.Then ping and he's out long term again. I'd have to see a period of consistent availablity and good performances tbh. The contract would have to reflect his past injury history. It's rare that somebody has a lot of bad injuries and then becomes consistently available Keen Blade .
 
The logic that he cost this and earns that is ridiculous. You look at him as part of the current squad, what he offers to that. Goes without saying his terms should be reduced (if they’re huge) but to use his fee as anything to go off just isn’t relevant in any way.

Good. Let other championship clubs take a punt.

Injuries are not his fault
The fee is not his fault

His wretched shooting, an example of which was there to see on Saturday, is 100 per cent his fault.

He put it closer than cannon who we have just signed and is no doubt on a decent salary
 
Well we have just given Cannon a contract and I would say that Brewster has contributed more in the time that Cannon has been here.

They’ve both got one assist in that time. So the same really.

Again, not an argument in favour of a new deal for Brewster.
 
After the hull fiasco i slagged wilders tactics and had all the usual how long had i been a top manager etc. To turn that on its head why not let the man who leads us have his say on who he gives contracts to as its his head on the block if its wrong and get behind the player. I for one would keep him as i still believe there is a good player also good person in rhian

I try to look at it objectively. Has he delivered over the course of his current contract? No he hasn't (for various reasons, discussed at length). But that's done now, no one can change that, it's in the past. Is he currently one of our better performing forward players? Yes I think he is. Therefore there's an opportunity to sign a player that is currently performing well at the standard required. I see no reason why we wouldn't look at it. Those saying 'he's shit, he cost us £X and hasn't scored X goals' are in cutting nose off to spite face territory. The main question mark for me would be fitness, but the more games he has without pulling up the more it suggests his body is up to the demands of the game.

Apart from the lunatics! What have decided he's shit, which he's not, and hes a decent footballer but not at this level, got to be honest if another manager other than Wilder had signed him, the fans would be all over him like a rash.
 
Simply can’t see how he fits into our squad, no one surely believes he offers anything at premier league level, championship he’s a squad player at this stage for us, we must be looking at both to do better which ever league we’re in
 

hes worth the punt because he gives his all for the blades hes part of the sufc family top lad special brew i rate him and backed him when people got on his back and doubted him i like the fella ,he a kop legend goal machine..give hm a new deal hes not had much luck with injurys but play him up top has a striker not on the wide area wings and he will come Good ,hes a class act ready to explode with goals for sufc ,chow..utb..

Well a very mixed bag of replies that's for sure,
But far or against a new contract. when it all comes down to making that final decision.
It won't be us who make it, it will be those who know the full facts..... ;)

Wilder said the other day they’re trying to offer him one, ludicrous based on what we’ve seen so far.

Just because he is a nice lad and had a good attitude does not mean he is deserving of a new contract. We're not a charity ffs.

Bang on. Why is Wilder so obsessed with him? ( (Maybe trying to justify ANOTHER ridiculous transfer fee for a striker)

Look at it from the other side, if he was available on a free would you take him this summer?

I was thinking the other day he does kind of fit the "had potential but has failed so far" gamble signing Wilder likes to make. Never been one of our own failures though.
 
If we go up he's not coming with us for sure. If we don't he's a decent squad player at the level on much reduced wages.
 
If we'd signed a lad called Brian Rewster for "an undisclosed fee" at the start of the season and he'd contributed a couple of goals, one recent match winning assist, and helped us see out a few games as we made our way to second place - second place FFS - I think he'd be fairly assessed as a good Championship squad player. Certainly much better than L1 or L2 or Highland League Reserves*.

At the moment it's probably fair to say he is on a par with maybe, I don't know, Sam McCallum??

Whatever his past, his immediate future seems like it'll likely to be at Championship level. And negotations I imagine involve the player and his representatives coming to terms with that, especially given how bright it all looked when he was 19(?) years old, scoring a goal every two games for Swansea, and commanding a fee of a squillion quid, or whatever it was.

That was then and this is now.

If the "player that's in there" ever gets out, and/or if "he strikes a ball so cleanly against the crossbar" ever becomes "he strikes a ball so cleanly into the back of the net, and on a fairly regular basis" then it might be a different story.

Whatever happens I imagine he'll get some sort of contract at some sort of Championship club on some sort of terms.

Assuming we drive a hard but fair and realistic bargain, I'd really like for that contract to be with us.

If not I'll wish him well, wherever he ends up.

*"No disrespect"
 
Tyrese Campbell has scored as many goals for Sheffield United in 15 games over half a season, as Rhian Brewster has in 4 and a half years. Comparing the 2 seems insane based on that..

I like Brewster. He does seem like a genuinely nice lad, he's obviously popular around the dressing room and Wilder clearly either likes him or is desperately searching for one last chance for him to come good, and not be the worst signing the club has ever made (based on stats, not on attitude and effort).

Personally I think giving him another deal, on whatever terms, would be insane. Showing flashes of quality now he's fit (for how long?) does not cancel out the previous 4 years. Yes he's been horrendously unlucky with injuries, but some players are just injury prone. Whatever division we're in next season, I would rather see the wages be used on a new player, preferably one with a decent fitness record. It'd look pretty stupid to offer Brewster a new deal, get it signed, and then he gets injured again the following week and sits out the majority of his new deal.

If he bangs in 10 goals in the remaining 14 games, then maybe reconsider, but I genuinely can't see that happening. I think he's had too many injuries to ever become the player he was touted as 5 years ago. Not his fault, but football is a business, and we need to forget about sentimentality. If we go up, it will take a fucking miracle to survive, we will need a squad of fit, healthy, quality players to stand even the tiniest chance. The gulf has only widened since we last had a successful PL season.

Thanks for trying Rhian, I mean that sincerely. I think he probably loves the club, and I'd imagine he would like to stay. But for me we wish him all the best, and hope he finds a club where he can have some success, maybe in L1.
