PRESS STATEMENT 29/10/06 - Re. CRAIG BREWSTER
It is with regret that the Federation of Dundee United Supporters' Clubs hear of yet another managerial casualty at Tannadice.
Craig Brewster returned to Tannadice as a United hero. Every United fan hoped upon hope that he would be the man to lead us back to a position of respectability.
Unfortunately results under his tenure have failed to live up to the expectations of the supporters of DUFC.
Despite the Clubs intention of long term commitment to the managerial position, unacceptable results & the threat of relegation have taken precedence over intention & sentimentality. The Board has been left with no choice but to take this action for the long term benefit of the Club.
We, as representatives of our fans, believe that the Chairman and Directors of DUFC have a massive task in appointing a Manager who can finally take our Club forward to the position of respectability we crave. We have endured countless false dawns in light of far too many recent changes at this level. The need to make the correct appointment this time around is critical to retain the confidence of our supporters.

Press Release from Executive Committee of the Federation of Dundee United Supporters Clubs, Sunday 06th August 2006.
'The Federation of Dundee United Supporters Clubs wish to express their anger and disappointment with regard to the comments made by Glasgow Rangers Security Chief, Mr. Lawrence McIntyre on BBC Radio Scotland's `Your Call` programme on Saturday 05th August in the aftermath of the Glasgow Rangers FC versus Dundee United FC SPL match at Ibrox.
The fact that a paid Employee of Glasgow Rangers Football Club saw fit to go on National airwaves to criticize a travelling United support of around 300 in a crowd of 50394 for alleged `sectarian chants` whilst ignoring a couple of rousing renditions of `Derry's Walls` shows ignorance and paranoia in the extreme. Attempting to deflect blame for the situation Rangers FC face in curbing this behaviour does nothing to contribute to solving the problem.
The song he made reference to in the phone-in was `The Billy Boys` to the tune `Georgia` of which the version sung by United fans has no sectarian content whatsoever. Dundee United fans have NEVER indulged in any form of sectarian or bigoted chanting and long may this continue.
Having noted several comments in today's newspapers from Mr McIntyre with regard to this alleged chanting, we accept that as this tune is inextricably linked with Glasgow Rangers fans, he was defending his fans from potential accusations of sectarian singing and fully understand his reasoning behind those quotes. However the accusations made on the radio programme against our fans were totally false, misguided and a slur on our fans reputations, therefore we call for Mr. McIntyre to offer the supporters of Dundee United FC, particularly those who attended Ibrox a full apology.
The Federation of Dundee United Supporters Clubs wish to applaud the efforts of Glasgow Rangers Football Club and affiliated Supporters Bodies' current campaign to eradicate the element within their support who participate in this disgusting habit of religious & sectarian chanting and we applaud the approach and vast improvement with regard to this at Saturdays game. We hope to be able to note likewise conduct from the visiting support when they visit Tannadice on November 5th.
