Terry Butcher (3 Year Contract Confirmed)

[Hibbyradge]

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

This. :agree:

And if we hadn't built the training facility or the main stand, we could have no debt at all.

I'm really sorry mate. I've had a boring day, I needed a catch.

I guess my catches are maybe more oblique than yours, and for that I apologise.

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.:agree:

I know, we haven't had one since Williamson.

I'm not sure this is a difficult a job as people are making out. The formula for success isn't difficult and we certainly aren't "rotten" in any sense.

Once Butcher is appointed it is time to stop all these witch hunts and agendas regarding players and the board and start from the year zero. Forget Petrie and judge him on the success of the new regime. For once, Petrie has appointed a proven manager that can turn water into wine and this certainly isn't a gamble or a cheap option. This is the real deal.

The fans are there and are fantastic (Butcher wouldn't take a drink from a poisoned chalice). The regime is now in place that have proved to the country that they can, given time and patience, build a successful team. The players are the final piece. They aren't bad and the majority have proved themselves elsewhere and they will improve with new boundaries and targets. Coming to hibs doesn't make them bad players, it's working under the wrong conditions that does that. Vine, Collins, Craig and OTJ etc...need something more than what they were getting before to enable them to perform and therefore get the crowd believing that there is something happening.

It might take a bit of time but if the sins of the past are forgiven as far as the players are concerned then we might have a few "new" players on our books already. Starting from next week, we should give everyone the benefit of the doubt as they will be undergoing big changes. They will then know that we are fully on board and gain the confidence to not only do what Terry says but to express themselves fully knowing that we will forgive mistakes. It's a cycle as far as I'm concerned and we all feed off each other and if one party doesn't truly believe then it all falls apart.

Petrie has put everything in place this time and surely cant be faulted for this appointment. All the ingredients are there and the whole project will be funded. We're not as impatient as people make out and certainly aren't mugs who don't appreciate positive changes like taking one step back to take two forward.

I have a really good feeling about this.

TB will know full well the weak points in this hibs team, just like most of the other managers know as well, can't wait to see his first team sheet/tactics v st.mirren

My nephew done a project at school last month about football crowds and ICT and ST Johnstone all average over (just) 5% of the population this season. Hibernian if you split the population of Edinburgh down the middle averages just under 4% of population so Mr Butcher will have to raise the crowds by 3/4000 to overtake them.

Totally agree! :agree: Its the positive flip side to a support that shows its frustration at failure. If he gets things right Hibs fans will respond in a big way. I think it will take at least two seasons to get to a really good place, but hope they can make a positive difference in the short time. Really looking forward to this, but dont expect miracles from the team this season.

He's coming as well 100%.

[Hibbyradge]

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.

Strong forceful personalities are 10 a penny and every manager "demands" that standards are raised.

Successfully motivating people takes a lot more than those crude skills.

Fortunately, Terry Butcher is a lot more sophisticated. He has studied people management and the psychology of motivation and he knows how to apply the appropriate techniques.

This gives an insight into what he does and how he does it. He's not the smoothest public speaker, but the message is clear and it's worth watching in full.

Much of your post makes good sense to me, but I disagree with the first sentence.

Terry Butcher isn't coming to Hibs to be "appreciated". He's not taking a job to assuage his ego's deepest cravings.

He's coming because he can see the potential He because he believes in himself and feels that he can be successful and achieve more with Hibs than he can at ICT.

I fully expect he will say something about having taken ICT as far as he could, but that a club of Hibs size offers a chance to go even further.

[steakbake]

I've got a good feeling about this. I don't expect miracles overnight but I think at least in the short term, we'll see a lift and given time and support, we shall see what he does between now and 2016 to bring ER back to life.

I hope as a group of fans we can put the negativity to one side and back the players we've got to do greater things. To a man, they are capable so let's get behind them.

To be fair to Petrie et al, perhaps this is finally a sign they get it...?

yup, and just heard Craig Brewster on BBC Radio Scotland; Said the same, that Terry will see Hibs as a big club and as a manager, looking at the infrastructure (training ground, stadium, fan base), it IS an attractive prospect managing Hibs.
We shouldn't walk about Yam like saying we're a big club, but to some extent we should not put our club down and reliaze we are a pretty big club in Scottish terms and we should NOT be surprised a manager from another SPFL team wants to join us, despite his side being vastly superior to the current Hibs team.

Butcher probably see's what the rest of us can, a club that is a bit of a sleeping giant & all the 'tools' are in place for him to get things working.
Least we forget, Edinburgh is a beautiful city and personally it might be a nice change for his family/wife.

All in all, there is a LOT of good things at Hibs - It's not a poisoned chalice, it's a fantastic opportunity.

Read some of the Caley fans saying something similar yesterday on their forum and the counter argument was - just how much more can he possibly expect at Hibs? Caley are in contention for European football and have 2 cup semi's to look forward to, they have what is recognised by Hibs fan a strong team with players we would love at Easter Rd but most are prob out of reach as tied up for the foreseeable future. So what is it that we as Hibs fans expect him to deliver, European football and latter stages of the cups is the norm when it's debated on here - something he already prob had!

[smurf]

Fantastic appointments. Well done to the board. A lot of hardwork required by everyone at ER starting at the top. We really do need to start performing.

[southsider]

Ach, you never fell out of love. It was just a rocky patch. You felt yourselves growing apart after so long, and started to question whether you wanted different things out of life. But of course you can't live without each other. You just wouldn't be you any longer. Til death you do part :devil:

Bigger crowds at a bigger stadium ?
a better budget ?

As for cup semi-finals and finals, look at the suppport Hibs get. ....and if we ever win a cup, look at Edinburgh and the celebrations.

He might fancy a taste of that.

Also, to achieve what he has at Caley they are constantly punching above their weight whereas it could be argued that, given the size of the club, these shouldbe the minimum achievements for Hibs.

Now if he got us to punch above our weight .... :pray:

And whether we like it or not, IF he can be as successful with us as he has been with his previous club, he will again be in the market for a new job from bigger fish than we are in the future.
I don't see the cheeky chappy over at derhun2 being there in 3 or 4 years time so if T.B. can produce the goods with us, he will have put himself in the shop window for possibly that job.

However, let him get his feet under the desk with us before we look to see how much compo we can screw out of derhun2 or anybody else who will hopefully come sniffing a few years down the line.

Butcher cuts a managerial dash

Good managers move people. Terry Butcher certainly did in New York in 2005. Butcher was covering England’s US tour for the Beeb and, facing a rare Sunday afternoon off, gathered some friends for a kickabout in Central Park.
All the grass was taken. Butcher had somehow to commandeer some space from the soft-ball, dodge-ball and Frisbee fraternities. So he went from game to pick-up game to convince the locals to surrender some of their precious sporting real estate, using charm and, more accurately, a land-grab approach not seen from the English in America since the 17th century. Smiling at his nerve, they budged up for the “limey soccer guys”.
Butcher has a warmth, humour, intelligence, experience and strength of personality which was not always present in his faltering early managerial days that indicate he could do well at Hibs.

[Phil MaGlass]

Its been a while since I was this pleased about a manager coming to Hibs. I really think he has what it takes to kick us on, we have all been saying we have the stadium, training ground, most of the players, the support and a weee bit of cash behind us, by xmas we should be seeing the results. If we can get the fans back through the gates and the crowd behind the management team (which I think will happen) it´s onwards and upwards.
C,mon Hibs, GERINTAETHUM.

did you listen to his explanation behind the terms?

the first was a description of the type of people who destroy moral and snipe behind each others backs from within - team terrorists
the second was people who add very little, are static and lifeless in their approach - corpses.

absolutely nothing wrong with it.

2pm news conference this afternoon

2pm news conference this afternoon

:agree: currently on yellow headline bar on SSN

[brog]

My nephew done a project at school last month about football crowds and ICT and ST Johnstone all average over (just) 5% of the population this season. Hibernian if you split the population of Edinburgh down the middle averages just under 4% of population so Mr Butcher will have to raise the crowds by 3/4000 to overtake them.

Not true I'm afraid, Edinburgh's population is 482,000. If you take away the 400,000 Yams that means our average of about 12k is actually about 15%!! :wink:
Seriously though 50% of 5% of 482,000 is 12k so we're spot on. A successful Hibs will however boost that average considerably whereas ICT have peaked. Regardless of percentages it must be soul destroying to be 2nd in the league & attract about 3k fans.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Fantastic news!

Welcome Terry!

[GreenCastle]

Sky Sports News just been live from East Mains.

He was at East Mains from before 8am - met the players at 10am.

No doubt people in England will be taking notice as obviously Butcher is a name everyone knows - may help raise our profile a bit.

[HibsNibs]

population of Inverness is 58,000 though, and 90% of them seem to support Sevco or the plastic Pads

No doubt people in England will be taking notice as obviously Butcher is a name everyone knows - may help raise our profile a bit.


Is the press conference live on sky sports news to watch?

[jacomo]

Sky Sports News just been live from East Mains.

He was at East Mains from before 8am - met the players at 10am.

Will be going to the game at Firhill tonight to see the Hibs younger players play.

Press Conference 2pm.

No doubt people in England will be taking notice as obviously Butcher is a name everyone knows - may help raise our profile a bit.

Brief discussion about TB on the 5 live Monday Night Club last night - mostly surprised he hasn't landed a 'bigger' club down South. But definitely a higher profile manager for us.

[Craig_in_Prague]

hoping Hibs TV capture the full conference and post onto their you-tube viewings?

not everyone can watch SSN during the day!

[Geo_1875]

Read some of the Caley fans saying something similar yesterday on their forum and the counter argument was - just how much more can he possibly expect at Hibs? Caley are in contention for European football and have 2 cup semi's to look forward to, they have what is recognised by Hibs fan a strong team with players we would love at Easter Rd but most are prob out of reach as tied up for the foreseeable future. So what is it that we as Hibs fans expect him to deliver, European football and latter stages of the cups is the norm when it's debated on here - something he already prob had!

Consecutive cup finals (with a poor team) is beyond the wildest dreams of an ICT fan.

We've scheduled it at the same time as Martin O'Neils first press conference as Ireland boss so I highly doubt it.

[GreenCastle]

It didn't say - probably not. But I am sure there will be some sort of coverage after it.

Just been back to East Mains and nothing extra to add but Luke Shanley (I think that's who it is) is wearing a green tie.

[Alex Trager]

Watched that video earlier and I have a feeling butcher will take us places we've not been for a long long time. Ridiculous at this stage but maybe things like what SAF done at Aberdeen. But seriously that is the feeling I'm getting.

[Alex Trager]

Good to see I'm getting a few replies. In terms of SAF I mean domestically. Cup wise definitely. League wise would be a dream.
I hope he can bring the fans back and exploit the clubs true potential.

European wise I'm not being blind I realise it'll take a serious amount of, well everything, to ever reach success in Europe but I think he has the ability to make sure we give a decent account of ourselves.


But I do have good feelings about this. Never seen anything like that video before, especially not from any our previous managers. It's good to see he is after instilling a winning mentality.

I hope he stays for a decent amount of time and really hope if he uses us as a springboard he goes down south. And not the Huns

[--------]

A six figure sum,eh! I hope this one works out better than his last six figure spend, the one that was a 'coup'.

:agree:

Me too, Dan. I think Butcher's a decent manager and he brings another good man in Malpas, but the basic situation at the club hasn't changed. They'll have to work within the same context (and constraints) as the last 5 or 6 (or 8 or 9) appointed by the guy who appointed them. I really hope they succeed, but ....

.... I don't believe anything will really change for the better until the present chairman/CEO removes himself from the club.

So you don't think he will make that much of a difference? Why didn't we just keep PF then if that's the case?

The Scotsman/EEN are promoting their pal Levein for the ICT job.

http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/spfl/levein-in-frame-to-replace-butcher-at-inverness-1-3184700

If so, that would be a club that don't like us very much right now, managed by someone who hates us - a club that has a good overall record against us which we need to address.

This really could have the makings of a spicy new rivalry - if the Yams go down, we will want another fixture with a bit of spice to it.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I've had a brief look at fan forums of other SPL clubs, and the consensus seems to be that Butcher is making a big mistake, for although he's moving to a bigger club, Hibs are a basket case and a managerial graveyard. So the view from outside matches that from within in relation to Hibs' underachievement over a long period. I really hope he's the man who can finally rid the club of this malaise. First task is to instill some belief!

I think PF had to go for the club's sake and his own, but I don't think the real problems at ER are confined to the manager's office, the training ground, and the pitch.

The real problem is that the owner is invisible and apparently couldn't care less what the team does on the field, and that the chairman's main (indeed only) priority seems to be the balancing of the accounts at the end of the financial year regardless of the quality of the football team or the results that team achieves - or rather, fails to achieve.

Other chairmen manage to balance the books without reducing the team and club to the status of laughing-stock, which is what Hibs are right now. If the "God Petrie" can't do that, then he needs to go, NOW.

So while I earnestly desire for Butcher and Malpas to make a difference, I'm not by any means convinced that the influence of the "God Petrie" won't kipper their efforts. I hope I'm wrong, but I really wish he'd had the grace and honesty to tender his resignation when PF did.

And my understanding is that Hibs didn't punt Pat - Pat punted Hibs.

Don't believe for a minute that Butcher has come to Hibs to be a lapdog for Petrie or anyone else, our Rod may have to change his ways !

And my understanding is that Hibs didn't punt Pat - Pat punted Hibs.

Fenlon got paid off for leaving Hibs - he didn't resign. Sorry my username seems to get to you so much - try not to take it so seriously.

Your entire post seems predicated on a false belief that Hibs don't spend money and don't support their managers. The only manager to complain about this was Collins who wanted us to fork out millions for some of the best young Scottish talent therefore investing heavily in a manager who had already managed to lose the dressing room months before.

Petrie has made some poor managerial appointments but outwith CC and Fenlon, they were appointments the majority of fans wanted. Even Fenlon was brought in because we wanted someone to "toughen up" Hibs but now it's Petries fault that Hibs were crap to watch under Fenlon.

There's no evidence that the board will hinder TB if he is good enough but that seems to be the perception. To be honest, I find it bizarre and counterproductive when welcoming a new manager.

With love, God Petrie.

The last 5 or 6 you mentioned failed because they turned out to be terrible managers. What we hope is that Terry Butcher has become a very good manager and we will see a vast improvement in our team over time. Time will tell but it won't be for lack of support from the club if he fails. Fenlon was given great support but wasn't up to the task unfortunately. What exactly is it that you want the board to do?

Have to disagree with you here. I'm not aware if Terry Butcher has been given targets and not really fussed as I think we now have a manager who will set his own and that will be to make us best of the rest. He left a team in second place where his remit is to keep them in league to come to the shambles that is Hibs. I have no doubt he is here to fulfil his ambitions and whilst Rod and STF may not show huge desire on the football side they want to see it go well to support the money side. This club needs a huge personality like TB who will be able to influence RP and dictate how he wants things to run rather than PF shrugging his shoulders and claiming he has little to do with the academy. If TB is as strong willed as he seems there will be huge change in our club and whilst he won't be given money we don't have he will be able to insert his will on the football side of things. RP knows he can't get this wrong so will back TB as much as possible. Good times ahead I think :flag:

So what is it that we as Hibs fans expect him to deliver, European football and latter stages of the cups is the norm when it's debated on here - something he already prob had!

The question you would have to ask yourself if you were Terry Butcher contemplating the move would be, can u realistically do this, at this club, year after year? I would say for Caley the answer is no and the fact they are doing it at all is a great testimony to all involved with the club. Can you achieve the same year after year with Hibs? With our budget and infrastructure in place then the answer is "Why not?"

Welcome Terry

[GreenLake]

did you listen to his explanation behind the terms?

the first was a description of the type of people who destroy moral and snipe behind each others backs from within - team terrorists
the second was people who add very little, are static and lifeless in their approach - corpses.

absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Yes I heard the whole thing, thought he was spot on with the strategy and I liked his descriptive labels (perhaps he watches "Walking Dead"). I mentioned that slide because it caused me to wonder which of our players might fall under which category. ;)

I always thought these quotes every time we get a new player or manager are puff pieces drafted by PR. That's why everyone's "over the moon" (to use a football cliche) to be at a "fantastic club", with "great training ground", "excellent stadium", "great potential", "big fan base"....

I think PF had to go for the club's sake and his own, but I don't think the real problems at ER are confined to the manager's office, the training ground, and the pitch.

The real problem is that the owner is invisible and apparently couldn't care less what the team does on the field, and that the chairman's main (indeed only) priority seems to be the balancing of the accounts at the end of the financial year regardless of the quality of the football team or the results that team achieves - or rather, fails to achieve.

Other chairmen manage to balance the books without reducing the team and club to the status of laughing-stock, which is what Hibs are right now. If the "God Petrie" can't do that, then he needs to go, NOW.

So while I earnestly desire for Butcher and Malpas to make a difference, I'm not by any means convinced that the influence of the "God Petrie" won't kipper their efforts. I hope I'm wrong, but I really wish he'd had the grace and honesty to tender his resignation when PF did.

And my understanding is that Hibs didn't punt Pat - Pat punted Hibs.

- delighted to bring Malpas and hopes to bring Marsella
- believes confidence is a big factor
- thinks he can have us where he wants us in 18 months if not sooner
- room and funds for players to come in if needed.
- try to keep signings to a minimum and build confidence of players we have
- he will show the players how he wants them to play and get them doing it (repeated several times)
- at the start of the journey he wants to make a long one and wants the players to join him on it.

great interview absolute breath of fresh air..said some great things and created a feel good factor with all fans I am sure. "keep the faith"

Playing a blinder so far with comments like that. Regardless of whether we do have a strong squad or not, and that's been a point of argument on here, we do have a squad who are under achieving. Let's go for achieving, then over-achieving.

[GreenLake]

My apologies then for thinking you were using it as a stick to beat him already.

I don't watch "walking dead" so I have no idea if they come from that or not? I was impressed with his presentation and his attitude and drive and passion for his job just shine through.

I just put my stick back in the cupboard after the last manager resigned! :greengrin

I was impressed by Butcher before I saw that presentation and after watching it, all the more so. I think he will quickly get the attention of the players using his evocative communication skills and inspire them with positive playing directions - and all validated by high level football experience as a leader.

Can't wait to see him transform both individual players and the team towards a modern rebirth of Hibernian class on the park. :flag:

[HibeeSince82]

Thought that was a great interview by Butcher on SSN.

As someone else said talked more sense in that wee interview then we have heard in the last 3 managers put together

Can't wait now for the next home game

Good interview but ssn could have at least let oor Kirsty conduct the interview.

[Sir David Gray]

I think PF had to go for the club's sake and his own, but I don't think the real problems at ER are confined to the manager's office, the training ground, and the pitch.

The real problem is that the owner is invisible and apparently couldn't care less what the team does on the field, and that the chairman's main (indeed only) priority seems to be the balancing of the accounts at the end of the financial year regardless of the quality of the football team or the results that team achieves - or rather, fails to achieve.

Other chairmen manage to balance the books without reducing the team and club to the status of laughing-stock, which is what Hibs are right now. If the "God Petrie" can't do that, then he needs to go, NOW.

So while I earnestly desire for Butcher and Malpas to make a difference, I'm not by any means convinced that the influence of the "God Petrie" won't kipper their efforts. I hope I'm wrong, but I really wish he'd had the grace and honesty to tender his resignation when PF did.

And my understanding is that Hibs didn't punt Pat - Pat punted Hibs.

:top marks Totally agree with all of that.

I obviously hope that Butcher does well and if he can get us playing like Inverness are playing just now then I'll be ecstatic.

I won't be changing my view in terms of the bigger picture though. We need big changes to take place at boardroom level and I honestly believe that Pat Fenlon wasn't/isn't the biggest problem at Easter Road.

I hope I'm wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if we are talking about getting a new manager in place in around 18 months.

[green glory]

He's no Gary Locke, that's for sure

That's unfair.

We may one day look back on the Butcher years as a golden age for Hibs.

Surely these truly are the 'golden years' for the Yams too?

We are all rightly greatly enthused by the interview Terry Butcher gave on SKY Sports but Rodders spoke very well too on SKY.

It there was to be a notable improvement in the next few games I would be very impressed but really don't think it'll be that easy. Please let this work out...

Got to be a competition as to the question he was responding to.............

When does the calendar signing start? :duck:

[Sir David Gray]

Have to disagree with you here. I'm not aware if Terry Butcher has been given targets and not really fussed as I think we now have a manager who will set his own and that will be to make us best of the rest. He left a team in second place where his remit is to keep them in league to come to the shambles that is Hibs. I have no doubt he is here to fulfil his ambitions and whilst Rod and STF may not show huge desire on the football side they want to see it go well to support the money side. This club needs a huge personality like TB who will be able to influence RP and dictate how he wants things to run rather than PF shrugging his shoulders and claiming he has little to do with the academy. If TB is as strong willed as he seems there will be huge change in our club and whilst he won't be given money we don't have he will be able to insert his will on the football side of things. RP knows he can't get this wrong so will back TB as much as possible. Good times ahead I think :flag:

I expect to have people in charge of our club who live and breathe the football side of things and who take an active role in engaging with the fans and setting challenging but achievable targets to the coaching staff. We do not get enough of that with the current hierarchy and it needs to change if we are going to really see any meaningful changes.

I don't mean this personally but I saw many posts like your one almost exactly two years ago when Calderwood left and Petrie was getting it in the neck for getting his appointment so wrong. People were talking about how it was last chance saloon for him in terms of appointing the right man and yet two years on, we're onto another manager and yet again it's another final chance for Petrie and the board to get it right.

How many final chances are they allowed?

May I ask on what evidence have you posted that ridiculous statement
Have you ever met STF , spent time with him, spoken with him ?
If you haven't and it would appear you haven't I suggest you speak to some of the senior Hibs players .

My two young rellies who are well down the order speak well of his interest and disquiet at the present situation
In RP's case , as the saying goes " be careful what you wish for "

As to PF that is old news . Most of the Hibs players will tell you he was talking of " having had enough of the bad mouthing" after the Aberdeen game


Thanks to ER Board for the appointment and wish TB et al every success in the future .

In fairness to the Yams, that comparison isn't as barmy as it sounds.

Maradona is also a tax dodger.

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/diego-maradona-returns-italy-tax-1731132


DIEGO MARADONA returned to Italy on Monday in a bid to clear his name in a tax evasion case.

The 1986 World Cup winner with Argentina landed in Rome dressed in black and wearing dark glasses before heading straight to Naples, where he will hold a news conference Tuesday morning.

Maradona's Italian debts of nearly 40 million euros (more than $50 million) stem from alleged unpaid taxes during the time he played for Napoli from 1984-91, a period in which he helped the club win its only two Serie A titles.

Where the comparison falls down a tad is that Maradona won a trophy in 1986. Unlike Hearts.

:wink:

[Pretty Boy]

Just seen his stats and they aren't bad at all.

Win percentages of 33%, 30%, 34%, 39%, 22% and 42%.

The only real blip there is Brentford. 34% ar Motherwell is fantastic considering what they were going through at the time and 42% at ICT speaks for itself.

Very good interview. He exudes confidence and self belief with a little wit.

Few interesting comments. He clearly believes the basis of the team is there minus confidence and I tend to agree. He also eluded to pretty generous staffing levels at the club-suspect there will be a few worried people tonight which can only be a good thing.

Must admit after the last 2 appointments I thought- okay there must be something there so give them a chance. (Though I did want Terry Butcher last time around). Now I am really excited and can't wait on the next game. I think our fortunes will improve very, very quickly. He looks and sounds like he knows to motivate players which will get their confidence back. I am sure the players will believe in him and we will very quickly get the new manager bounce. Add a bit pace in January and a top 4 finish should be the least we get. At the beginning of the season many of us were saying we had one of the best squads on paper, now is the chance for them to show it on grass. "C'MON (C@MON) THE HIBS" :flag:Welcome to the club Terry and Mo.

[HibbySpurs]

That's the key for me and I've been saying it for a while. I'm still convinced TB and MM will benefit from PF's work at Hibs.

And therefore so will we!

I think in hindsight history may judge Pat Fenlon more kindly than we currently have.

Some poor bugger had to the donkey work and lay the foundations maybe in a couple of years.... Say May 2015 when a Hibs captain holds a certain silver trophy aloft he'll sit back in his chair in Ireland and smile knowing he contributed to it? Here's hoping anyway :-)

[sesoim]

I was critical of the appointments of Fenlon and Calderwood from the word go. I had serious questions about why we appointed Hughes and Collins (basically, I felt they were appointed to please the fans who were demanding a "Hibby" in charge). But I'll happily put my head on the block here and say that Petrie has finally gotten an appointment right. I think Butcher will be like McLeish - he'll be no nonsense, he'll act quickly, and he'll do whatever it takes to drag this club up to where it should be.

If this appointment doesn't work then surely the whole running of the club would have to come into question, as Butcher has done well with Motherwell and amazingly well with Inverness on much smaller budgets. But I think Petrie has finally gotten it right. Good luck Butcher and Malpas, and good luck Hibs!!

As many as they like they own the club and there is nobody after buying it. In fairness I think we need a director of football who would appoint new managers and be the go between the board and the manager but it needs to be the right person. Apart from CC and PF we have had who we all wanted appointed as manager doesn't always work out. The exception being TM hence the latter two signed hing to replicate TM but failing miserably.

Sorry, but I totally disagree. The only credit I'd give Fenlon is that he's made 3 or 4 signing that might in the long run do a good job for us (but then who couldn't do that when you've made as many signings as Fenlon has?). But he was clueless about tactics and formations and we were never going to make any real progress with him in charge. And it might take Butcher a while to sort the squad our seeing as Fenlon has flooded it with mediocre non-creative midfielders, yet left us desperately needing more goals and creativity.

I wasn't referring to his tactical ability which was obviously sadly lacking. I was making comment on how he made changes behind the scenes and altered the culture of the club for the better.

On the field he was pretty hopeless but the groundwork he's done behind the scenes may well bear fruit under Butcher.

Glad to see Butcher has indeed signed and that we can now get on with improving the team. In the interviews kindly posted here (thanx everyone! :thumbsup:) Butcher made a good impression. I particularly liked the comments regarding the hard work that will have to be done on the training ground and the working on the basics and team confidence - something that has obviously been missing at ER. I just hope he can make it all come true for us - wish him (and his coaching team) all the best in his endeavours at the club. I'm all for going on the journey he speaks of ... :greengrin

[Mon Dieu4]

Im not a fortune teller so can't say if he will be a success or not, but I've not heard a Hibs manager speak with such passion and determination in a very long time, i have high hopes for Butcher, even hearing him talk has lifted my spirits, if he can do the same with the players then he should be a great appointment

actually looking forward to the next game, can't remember the last time i did

[HibbySpurs]

TB fantastic on sportsound. Really excited by this appointment and the knowledge that Marsella is on his way to join TB & MM just excites even more.
