    Terry Butcher - We made him a scapegoat apparently...

    What an arse. I'm pretty sure Dundee United weren't 5th when Mixu took over.

    How this man can think it's ok to drag a team from the top half of the table to relegation and then expect to retain the keys the next season is utterly incredible.

    Him and Malpas genuinely seem to believe it was nothing to do with them

    I really detest that man.

    Interesting to read he had a 'plan'. It looked to me like he just lurched from 1 distater to another.

    Bar Inverness he seemed to have a plan at each club he mismanaged. He destroyed them, got himself sacked and moved onto the next one. I wonder how much poetic license the journalist has used but tbh he seems so deluded he probably did say this. TB GTF.

    Terry you are the scapegoat because it was your fault, who is to blame? It was you and your players between you not enough matches were won therefore we got relegated.

    You had more resources than a lot of clubs whom finished higher. No excuses or scapegoat you relegated the club pure and simple.

    The manner of the relegation under his watch meant he was never going to get the chance. Nothing to do with the club looking for scapegoats, it was because he would have been a dead man walking and he simply didn't earn the right or deserve a chance after that.

    I think his strategic plan was also on a very different wavelength to the one which the club was embracing at that point.

    What was his plan at Newport County? Take them down too? Funny how they picked up as soon as he left! Utter clown of a man and a shocking football manager. Really detest this bellend for what he's done to us.

    Is scapegoating the new sacking?

    The facts do tend to speak for themselves.

    Someone should inform Tel that it was his abysmal man management skills that got him the bullet not Hibs looking for scapegoats.
    Slagging off your players in the media was not going to bring out the best in them. It was just going to cause resentment and thats what it did.

    We needed one ****ing point but he still couldn't motivate them to get it, he ripped the heart and soul out of the playing squad with his tactics, bullying and general mismanagement, should never be anywhere near football ever again, I just want to scream whenever I see his name anywhere.

    strangley, every time i see Warburton spraffing his respectful rubbish, i think of that arse. Hope to goodness he has the same effect for them in the top league.

    Win our next seven game and we can banish that c*** from our memories forever. We should then have a rule where no one mentions his name again, ever.

    Fenlon's football was eye bleedingly boring but he set us up not to lose, we would've got the points we needed no problem.

    Butcher was far too interested in getting to the summer and doing his magical rebuilding with players that were happy to be bawled at day in day out. He thought we were safe and just had to cruise into the new season where he could ship out all the players that made life difficult for him.

    Unfortunately I think Warburton is a very good coach but can see the comparisons spraffing wise.

    I agree with that. We would never have got relegated under Fenlon. It was still the right decision to sack him.

    I think he walked rather than being sacked, he knew his time was up when the fans turned against him, nice guy seemingly but tried to run Hibs like one of his Irish league teams, job was too big for him.

    Terry Butcher will never be any better than he is because he thinks he knows it all. He'll never admit that it was his his lack of management skills and his style of "Hoofball" that got us relegated. Thankfully one of the first things Leeann did when she came in was to get him out!

    100% got sacked.

    He's shown since what a stubborn man he is. He wouldnt have had the good grace to fall on his sword. He's still saying he shouldve been given the chance to bring us back up.

    Think he was talking about Fenlon and not Butcher and according to Petrie at the AGM we didn't have Butcher on Gardening leave, he was sacked and paid off.
