Terry Butcher (3 Year Contract Confirmed)

[NOLA]

after how easily ICT beat us at the weekend it wouldnt surprise me if hes trying to get out any deal to be our manager :greengrin international break this week so most players have some time off im guessing, no need for terry to be in charge for a few days yet.

Seriously:confused: After that debacle on Saturday, we need him in NOW.... He needs time to boot backsides and start sorting out the mess he's about take over...

Also the more time he has between now and the transfer window opening in January the better IMO to assess what we need to make ourselves competitive.:aok:

[smurf]

With respect, what have they done so badly and how would you have improved the situation?

Our PR is very poor. You can adopt a siege mentality and conclude that the media just don't like us. They are not fair. And they are all out to get us. Our you can conclude that there are reasons why our PR and media relations are not the best. IMHO there is a shyness at the top of the ER hierarchy and we don't work the relationships with the media.

[southsider]

doubt there will be any news about TB now. Really is dragging on. Must be haggling over compo for rest of management teamj. Typical.

[Weststandwanab]

Not trying to be funny, but if something is "100%" done, why can't it be announced right away?

:confused: Because it is not done and not 100%

[Beefster]

Didn't even merit a mention on STV news.

To be fair, I'm bored of the entire saga so I can only imagine that STV feel the same. It was news when Hibs asked for permission and it'll be news when he's announced as the manager. Everything in between would just be STV saying that nothing has publicly changed.

[GloryGlory]

Seriously:confused: After that debacle on Saturday, we need him in NOW.... He needs time to boot backsides and start sorting out the mess he's about take over...



:agree: The more time on the training pitch the better - in fact, double shifts are called for.

Need to get some sort of shape and organisation and the players need to practice basic skills, such as trapping the ball, taking set pieces, movement on and off the ball, etc, etc, etc...

[Hibbyradge]

Shall I list 10 other reasons it could be?

[southsider]

Aye to double shifts. Get those lazy sods fit.

I'm bored with the entire club. As far as the football is concerned, this current regime has us living on the memories of the 50's and 70's history and have made us also rans in Scottish football, never mind further afield.

I don't think anything will ever really change until it changes at the top first.

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

Sorted as far as Butcher, Malpas and the goalkeeper coach are concerned. But if I'm wrong then I apologise. I'm just passing on info from someone I know who is close to the deal. I can't say names as I don't want to get them in bother.

It's not or it would be announced

[RoxburghHibs]

It's not or it would be announced

Maybe maybe some other reason :greengrin

[smurf]

Ok just been told by a very good source that Butcher deal is 100% done. As is Malpas and the goalkeeper coach.

My source is not Hibs related but is linked to our new manager.

He did say Butcher knows we need new players.

The source must be an ex goalkeeper or ex right back?! No reason to doubt you but I can't understand if it's all done we wouldn't confirm it?

[Magnifique]

Aye to double shifts. Get those lazy sods fit.

Get them in 8 till 5. Double sessions and get the lazy cants to clean the bairns boots.

[Geo_1875]

We heard this last week. Were told butcher wud be revealed after the game on sat or today at lunchtime neither has happened.

Told by who?

[NatureBoy]

I'm starting to think the whole situation is just one massive practical joke! Who is this Butcher character that was supposedly spotted in a cunning disguise at ER on Saturday, is he real or myth? More chance of seeing the Loch Ness monster in our dug out at this rate!

[IanM]

Wonder if Crystal Palace & Boro fans are as impatient as some of us hibby's.. they seem to both be taking their time to appoint someone, getting it right counts!

Our you can conclude that there are reasons why our PR and media relations are not the best. IMHO there is a shyness at the top of the ER hierarchy and we don't work the relationships with the media.

I will bet that once the deal is done, and there is finally some news, that the manager (and any others who may join) will be granted full access to the media with 'exclusives' or in-depth interviews being given to news outlets so that their journalists can fill their jotters with quotes and insight galore into the past few days and what the future holds. I would think that behind the scenes this is all being worked on with key contacts in the media, probably with club media first (exclusive content driving up membership/revenue) local media second (your bread and butter) followed by key national outlets. In the meantime the club are just publicy sticking to their corporate policy which is that until the time comes when every i is dotted and every t is crossed they say nothing publicly. You are more likely to become a poor source of information to journalists (and therefore develop poor media relations) by giving them information that is not correct which is why the current policy works in my book, even if it is frustrating to us. It also seems to be a model followed by many clubs...apart from those managed by Harry Redknapp! Just my take on it.

For anyone interested here's a little insight to what's happened.

Last Sunday the agents had agreed personal terms with all three. Hibs then asked to speak to TB direct as from the agents side of things all wanted to come and were happy with the deal Hibs were given them.

TB was happy once he spoke with Rod and said he still wanted his team with which Rod was also happy to bring. Fr what I'm told all three still set to arrive. But ICT have thrown a spanner in the works regarding MM by saying he has a real chance of being the boss. So MM has had to think about this.

As it stands all three look set to arrive this week. Hold up being compo for backroom team.

This was from an agent who knows all very well. It's a pain it's taken this long but it's about getting the right deal for both Hibs and ICT.

Anyway thought I'd pass on what goes on behind the scenes for anyone interested.

That's exactly it. We have to remember ICT are losing all of them. They must try replace the whole team so things are going on behind the scenes there as well that holds up things our end. As a fan myself it's hard to sit and wait but sometimes these things just simply take time and we aren't stepping on anyone's toes! Hopefully what I've posted helps to understand these things.

Originally a gk coach then found his talent lay elsewhere. He's come a long way from Fartown (wonder how the locals pronounce that?)

It is a fair bit of money yes - more than previous managers - so most certainly not a cheap option.

But RP knows that if he was to appoint another dud he would seriously be taking abuse. So this time he has splashed out a little hoping to save his reputation and get the club back on track. Gamble yes...but the importance of bringing all 3 in will help massively to improving us a club.

Cat, thanks for all your excellent postings here. My faith never wavered despite some of the keek & pessimism posted here. If the Mgt team are announced tomorrow that will be 10/11 days since PF resigned. I don't have data on all our recent mgt changes but I suspect this is probably the quickest replacement ever despite the doom & gloom merchants. What changed this time was that instead of inviting applicants we had a replacement in mind from the start. If the last 10 days had been spent sifting through applications & conducting interviews we would have had about 50 Greggs suggestions on here & no one would have thought we were taking too much time.
For once I don't think there's any way Hibs can be faulted for the way they've gone about their business. Now we just need to get it right on the park! Welcome Tel!

Funny but when I read it I felt there was a few sly wee digs in there.

Exactly my thoughts too. Getting appointments right consistently etc.

[DAVE1875]

With the international friendlies he's got over a week to get settled and get to know the team :greengrin


Better than walking into the job a few days before the next match

[SteveHFC]

Set off the flare SteveHFC? I'm waving a flag and the disco ball is in motion...

Will do that in a minute :greengrin

[Gustavo Fring]

never thought butcher would have jacked in caley for hibs , well done rod

[Robinho08]

This is the fourth time that Caley Thistle have found themselves in the situation of having their manager head hunted by another Scottish Premier club, with Steve Paterson, John Robertson and Craig Brewster being the other instances.

I hope TB bucks the trend here...

[snooky]

So good on Malpas to reject the managers job and stick with TB and come to Hibs - he was showing serious passion in the dugout on Saturday against us.

So basically who ICT appoint now will be their 2nd choice...

Oddly enough, on the highlights, when ICT scored their second goal the camera switched to MM and his expression was that of a manager who had just lost a goal.
:dunno: Maybe it's just me, but that's how I saw it.

[leither17]

I hope TB bucks the trend here...

thought the exact same when i read the list

[Eternal Hibbie]

Superb news, credit where it's due to all concerned at Easter Road.

And thanks to our in-the-know guys for their accurate info, never doubted. :)

[Hibby Gav]

Funny but when I read it I felt there was a few sly wee digs in there.

Certainly the one about the result at the weekend...but I thought on the whole considering they have just lost the management team that gave them all their best period it was pretty well written

[jacomo]

Funny but when I read it I felt there was a few sly wee digs in there.

I think so too, but they are hurting and I'm sure Saturday's result has given them much pleasure.

Hibs might have created some bad blood here but spicy, competitive games are what the SPFL needs. Would be great if this fixture generates bigger crowds and a better atmosphere from their supporters in future, I'm all for it.

[semaj64]

Great news, at least got some time before next game to get the players told what is expected from him as professionals

[HibbyKeith]

If anyone is interested and has access to Youtube type in "Dr Terry Butcher Hampshire coaching conference" guy defo knows his stuff!

:thumbsup: Cheers for that.. watching it now

[PatHead]

A very civilised release from ICT....good to see both clubs acting with respect for each other.

Comment that jumped out to me. "We have a special group of players here and we intend to keep them at this club."

[Thecat23]

Cat, thanks for all your excellent postings here. My faith never wavered despite some of the keek & pessimism posted here. If the Mgt team are announced tomorrow that will be 10/11 days since PF resigned. I don't have data on all our recent mgt changes but I suspect this is probably the quickest replacement ever despite the doom & gloom merchants. What changed this time was that instead of inviting applicants we had a replacement in mind from the start. If the last 10 days had been spent sifting through applications & conducting interviews we would have had about 50 Greggs suggestions on here & no one would have thought we were taking too much time.
For once I don't think there's any way Hibs can be faulted for the way they've gone about their business. Now we just need to get it right on the park! Welcome Tel!

You're welcome mate. I think the board have been great in the way it's been done. I'm not Rods biggest fan but happy to post when he does do things the right way.

I think TB will change it around for us.

[AlbertK86]

Not the biggest fan of Mr Petrie but thinking he may have got it right this time

Discipline determination and team spirit is clearly a big part of this management teams success and are some of the key ingredients that has been sadly missing for a while at Hibs

Well done Rod .... Never envisaged myself ever typing that !!

[IanM]

Superb news, credit where it's due to all concerned at Easter Road.

And thanks to our in-the-know guys for their accurate info, never doubted. :)

:agree:


Kudos to the club and to thecat (and others) - its tough to watch us on the park at the moment but this seems to have been a no nonsense approach to getting our men

lets stop the rot hibs, lets also see if we can rally the troops for the Partick game at home - bums on seats please

[PatHead]

Who is all going to Paisley then.

[Thecat23]

Excellent TC! So, just to clarify all three are definitely, 100% coming and should all be unveiled tomorrow?:greengrin:top marks:flag:

Yes mate, that's what I'm told has been agreed!

[GreenCastle]

Oddly enough, on the highlights, when ICT scored their second goal the camera switched to MM and his expression was that of a manager who had just lost a goal.
:dunno: Maybe it's just me, but that's how I saw it.

Haven't watched the "highlights" - sitting through 90 mins at a freezing ER was painful enough - so can't comment fully.

But during the game MM certainly showed lots of passion and didn't look like a man who was about to switch clubs!

[Hibby Gav]

Comment that jumped out to me. "We have a special group of players here and we intend to keep them at this club."

I saw that...but these days it's all down to contracts and timing...I'm sure Tel will try to get the ones he wants...although I think the one we all want will probably be out of reach for us by then..it's going to be an interesting few weeks. I don't think he would have come to ER without the promise of a budget for January and next summer.

[Scottiedog007]

St mirren will be rubbing their hands here as I can see the away end being full for his first game in charge lets hope its not like Fenlons with floodlight failure after being 1-0 at HT !!

[Scottie]

Superb news, credit where it's due to all concerned at Easter Road.

Just got this email from my contact.

"Hi mate, I am hearing tonight that the sticking point isn't compo - it is Malpas has been offered the ICT job and is going for it and that Butchers preferred replacement is none other than Derek Riordan which the Chairman isn't too happy with from what I hear. Derek has been working on his badges and Butcher thinks he has what it takes with the added bonus that he "knows Hibs, knows the fans, knows the expectations and would get the players up for the big games." Butcher wants to bring him in as player assistant/coach, fitness isn't a problem."

What happened about deeks then!!?

Chick Dung was right.

[monktonharp]

i honestly think this will be sir Roderick's last management appointment :agree: I'm in total agreement with you. this will be our great leader's last ever Hibernian manager's appointment unless he has to empty him for getting us relegated this season! he's carried the can, for getting men in on the cheap, and getting the wrong man at times(Sauzee) and he's got some good 'uns but they have moved on to bigger things through no fault of his.Mowbray/McLeish and Collins who took the descision himself.He must be at the stage , of thinking, if this one goes belly up i'm offski. the fans are liable to demand that too. this new regime must work to a certain degree, in giving us stability in the first year and a much better push for being at the very top end of the league in the next year allied to good performances in both cups and the obvious derby performances MUST be winning prformances. I don't expect a complete turnaround in a few weeks but we must have a better mindset come the N.Year derby.

[down-the-slope]

It's always going to be that way I'm afraid. They're just giving their audience what they want. More people are interested in hearing any piece of inconsequential nonsense about Scotland's shame than are wanting to hear major news from other clubs. We'll get thirty seconds after they've discussed what McCoist and Lennon are having for their dinner.

[KiddA]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SgFTJl_4pg Malpas comes across well, I also think he might be the type of person the players don't want to mess with and I honestly think this is what is needed with some of them :agree: great that he knocked ict back to come to Hibs Welcome aboard TB and MM :greengrin

[Hibercelona]

They were doing it with Hearts the other day as well.

They rattled on about Hearts not selling any of their "best youngsters in Scotland" unless they got top dollar for them. Then at the end, there was a wee 15-20 second clip of Butcher and how he may be the next manager of Hibs. :rolleyes:

I'm happy with Terry Butchers appointment but am very pleased to hear MM had turned down the ICT job to work as his No2. I think it says a lot about the board, club and Terry.

Welcome to the hibees family.

[Beefster]

Funny but when I read it I felt there was a few sly wee digs in there.

Fair play to Rodders. He could have taken the cheap option with the likes of Shiels or Tango out of work. Shelling out compensation for a full management team shows how much he wanted them.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Got to be totally honest here.

Firstly I'm pleased with the appointment. An experienced manager with a good team behind him who seems to have discovered over the last few years how to build a decent team in a short period of time.

But it has to be said it looks like he has a hell of a job on his hands.

Over the last few years as everybody knows Hibs have been a very poor outfit on the park and our last 3 managers have failed to improve the results or style of football. I cant help thinking that there is just something rotten in this club which we cant identify or shake off. Dont ask me what it is .... Pat Fenlon wanted to make us harder and nastier, but try as he might a decent start faded away to what we have now.

I want Terry Butcher and his team to become Hibs legends and have stands named after them and in three or four years time to see us all on here moaning like mental about big clubs stealing our manager coz he's so bloody good.

All I can say is ...... Good luck Terry & Co. Welcome to the hardest job in Scottish football.

[The_Horde]

Also have a yam on Facebook just now saying TB has failed at different clubs of similar size of hibs. There's too much pressure, something always goes wrong..

They're absolutely Sheiiting it that we may have finally found the man to take us forward.

I agree with everything you say here NB. I really hope that Terry & Co transform the club however I think the main problem is still there.

Dude the are deluded and are looking to deflect the state they are in. They can sign Stewart and baw sack if they want but they've no kicked a baw for months and months BUT only when they come out if admin. As for Naysmith a transfer fee would be required as he is contracted to EF and from what I've heard he's liking the new set up and is doing coaching.

Some moron on Sickbag posted that Hibs are 'institutionally rotten to the core' or some similar pseudo-intellectual bull****. Obviously employing sex offenders, not paying wages, having several major shareholders investigated for fraud/money-laundering, not paying charities, stealing TVs, not paying staff, having Gazza 'I like pish' Lockey-Locke in charge and keeping your missus as a sex slave is a desirable state of affairs compared to having Rodders in charge.

'The club with no shame'

[HFC07]

This is fantastic news,

Welcome to Hibs - Butcher and Malpas.
You have your work cut out lads.

Just got a text this is 100% done guys trust me he would know.

Own up now. It was from The Cat wasn't it? :greengrin

I agree with everything you say here NB. I really hope that Terry & Co transform the club however I think the main problem is still there. Rod did a good job of stabilising the club and getting the infrastructure in place but we need someone with more business development/entrepreneurial flair to take the club forward and bring the passion back to ER.

Most importantly, the manager must have the freedom and authority to manage. TB is a strong character and is bringing trusted deputies with him, and he will have the mandate and guts to shake things up. It's what we need.

Ooooer cannae wait for it to be posted now :wink:

Sadly this is fabricated in its entirety - I had assumed we were all meant to take turns to pretend to be ITK.

Wonder if they will be at Partick tommorow night

Stand corrected.

Just had a text confirming that - honest :wink:

[Speedway]

Just had a telegram through, 100% defo, Potter is NOT the new manager, repeat, NOT the next Hibs manager. Trust me on this one.

[scoopyboy]

Stand corrected.

Not 100% on it mate.

[Hibbyradge]

;3805381']Also have a yam on Facebook just now saying TB has failed at different clubs of similar size of hibs. There's too much pressure, something always goes wrong..

They're absolutely Sheiiting it that we may have finally found the man to take us forward.

You should suggest going out for a celebratory pint with your yam mates.

Tell him that it's wonderful that you all agree and want the same thing i.e. for Hibs to appoint Terry Butcher and Maurice Malpas.

That'll shut the goat up. :wink:

Delighted that they've signed:thumbsup:

MM said in an interview at the weekend that ICT were the fittest team in the league for two reasons. 1. He and TB drove them hard in training - but just as important 2. The players had the desire and attitude to excel as well. I think that we've been lacking this attitude for years and it TB and MM can instil this in the club we won't be scraping along in the bottom 6 for long:flag:

Great signings:thumbsup:

No you're right. He tried taking Falkirk down remember?

Stand corrected.

McLeish was before Williamson.

Indeed, Williamson was because of McLeish.

Point 2 is the most important though is it not?, it something that the scout must be good at, he must be looking out for the type of players willing and has the attitude to be trained like that. Not so sure we have enough players at the moment with that attitude?

Fair play to Rodders. He could have taken the cheap option with the likes of Shiels or Tango out of work. Shelling out compensation for a full management team shows how much he wanted them.

:tsk tsk: don't be fooled ... its speculate to accumulate....the draw of a management team that have proven they can polish turds (or at least lower league players) and make them diamonds with a sell on value.....

Fair play Rod! :not worth

[Criswell]

There is of course no guarantee of success in football, but I am pleased that the club has at last shown some ambition in their appointment of Terry Butcher. He has plenty of experience, especially in our league, did a great job at ICT, has a strong forceful personality that will demand standards be raised and comes with stature and respect within the game. What's there not to like?


I think we will hear references to the "challenge of the job" a lot in the next few days. Lets face it, it is a huge challenge to turn this club round from its current malaise. Will he be able to do so? Time will tell, however, I am sure of one thing; he will give it his best shot and we should all give him as much support as we can.

could've spent it on Griffiths though :rolleyes:. Bloody Typical. Always too late.

Would you rather've spent it on Sparky and have Pat still at the helm with only Leigh's left foot being the shining light in our otherwise darkness, or this?

i dont think terry butcher is coming to hibs purely for the challenge...i think its more about being appreciated and at hibs he will be appreciated if he brings success...at inverness he had brought unprecedented success, second in the league, cup semi finals, arguably taking the club onto a level beyond their wildest expectations...and how did the inverness public reward him?...crowds of 2000 from a population of around 75,000...if he was to win the league at inverness they'd still struggle to get 5000 through the gates and i think this must have been a deciding factor in terry leaving the highlands...he took inverness to unchartered heights and was rewarded with apathy...if he takes hibs to 2nd in the league he will know the hibs support will respond in huge numbers and he will be shown appreciation for his work in a more appropriate manner...inverness c.t. have lost their manager because they took him for granted and failed to give him the support his efforts deserved.

Got to be totally honest here.

Firstly I'm pleased with the appointment. An experienced manager with a good team behind him who seems to have discovered over the last few years how to build a decent team in a short period of time.

But it has to be said it looks like he has a hell of a job on his hands.

Over the last few years as everybody knows Hibs have been a very poor outfit on the park and our last 3 managers have failed to improve the results or style of football. I cant help thinking that there is just something rotten in this club which we cant identify or shake off. Dont ask me what it is .... Pat Fenlon wanted to make us harder and nastier, but try as he might a decent start faded away to what we have now.

I want Terry Butcher and his team to become Hibs legends and have stands named after them and in three or four years time to see us all on here moaning like mental about big clubs stealing our manager coz he's so bloody good.

All I can say is ...... Good luck Terry & Co. Welcome to the hardest job in Scottish football.

great post :agree::top marks
