Terry Butcher (3 Year Contract Confirmed)

[nonshinyfinish]

:panic:

[Hibbyradge]

how would someone on the fringes of another club come across such information ?

I don't know how the grapevine works in football although this person is well connected, but I don't know how he came by this information.

No-one else seems to have heard the same, so hopefully, he's wrong.

[spike220]

Has anyone else heard this has fallen through? :confused: No I heard it was all systems go and something might be announced today. P.S. Does anyone know why the return key does not work on these pages anymore??

[#FromTheCapital]

Got a text from someone on the fringes of another club (not SPL).

"Don't slash your wrists, but Butcher is staying at Inversnecky".

I've replied asking for more info.

But, but we dedicated an entire pun thread to him! 4 whole pages worth for nothing!? Traitor!

[Craig_in_Prague]

I blame East Mains. Every time it's public knowledge someone is getting shown round (Goodwin, McManus, Terry)... they don't sign.
Perhaps Tam McCourt running about with a pitch fork scares them all off.

[Hibs7]

Radge ...you are just stirring for the fun of it ... No way would Rod let this fall through at this late stage with all the publicity it has had .. Huge egg on the face for him if it did and he does not like that !!

[Hiber-nation]

Has anyone else heard this has fallen through? :confused:

No. Did you not hint that McCall was going to get the job by the way?

[Hermit Crab]

Radge ...you are just stirring for the fun of it ... No way would Rod let this fall through at this late stage with all the publicity it has had .. Huge egg on the face for him if it did and he does not like that !!

I don't think so. Would not say HR is a wind up merchant.

[Thecat23]

Been in touch with my usual source and he says he thinks Hibs will announce it at lunch time today! Hopefully they do and end all this! 3 year deal is done is his exact words.

[Craig_in_Prague]

If it's done (which it appears), then I would also expect it's announced today. Too close to Sat, for TB to lead Hibs out and yet it's enough time for ICT to give a coach instructions to take the team (though probably they've already planned for it).

Makes sense to announce today and start Monday.

3 year deal is a good sign, committment on both sides.

onwards and upwards !

I asked this question on the techy forum a while back, and was told it was a compatibility issue. Click the A/A button in the top-right corner of the tool bar section of the "reply to thread" box, and that should fix it. Or at least, it did for me.

I hope so. HR has put a cat amongst the pigeons this morning. ;)

Tell me about it. I **** myself when I read that. The only way it would fall would be compo to them as Butcher agreed everything else.

[Hibbyradge]

I trust this person although he can be a bit of a drama queen.

When I was living in London, he was the first person to phone me when Mercer tried to kill us.

His words were along the lines of "Hibs are dead. Hearts have bought them over and they do not exist anymore."

It was one of the worst moments of my life supporting Hibs, I was in tears, but obviously, it was an exaggeration.

I'm still waiting for a reply to my text.

[GordonHFC]

Tell me about it. I **** myself when I read that. The only way it would fall would be compo to them as Butcher agreed everything else.

If it was the case that he had agreed terms then TB would resign leaving ICT to fight for any compensation but this would be with TB and not Hibs.

[Jim44]

Is it true that the word 'gullible' has been removed from the Oxford Dictionary? Somebody on the fringes of Chambers Encyclopedia texted me with the revelation last night but I kept it to myself till now. :-)

[PapillonVert]

Just seen Tim Howard being interviewed on SSN and i've sussed out Vines problem. He's being played out of position!!

That's right - he's in a football team.

[Hermit Crab]

In the sun this morning it's says that caley have refused hibs permission to speak to malpas and marsella.

Yes I know it's the sun but thought of share.

[Kato]

His words were along the lines of "Hibs are dead. Hearts have bought them over and they do not exist anymore."



A bit of a drama queen then?

[Hibbyradge]

Panic over. Subdued at least.

It was the opinion of someone who knows TB.

Does ICT stand for Inverness Canute Thistle?

That's what my post said.

[stokesmessiah]

Scotsman running a story about Butcher on the verge of signing - mentions the deal includes Malpas and the scout.

It's great having someone like that around. Makes it all the more exciting.

True, but he's old enough so really should know better.

Best bit of drama queenism I've ever known was from my mate's son.

One evening when he was at primary school, he came stomping down the stairs in his house, threw the livingroom door open and angrily announced, "Someone's stolen my homework!" :faf:

Not necessarily. :intheknowsmiley:

[Speedway]

If it's any consolation, ICT have reportedly approached Kenny Shiels last night about the job so perhaps JN is going in the opposite direction?

In the meantime, if we really want to recoup the Butcher compo money, I'd recommend the following to be appointed as the match officials on Saturday.

How will this work? Will Inverness CT announce that he has left first or will Hibs break the news that he is the new manager first? I just want to know what webpage I should refresh over and over again at work today.

Ah right, I'm happy with that to be fair.

[California-Hibs]

What I don't get is we have some posters saying it'll be announced at 9am, 12pm, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Some papers saying nothing has been agreed, some saying terms have been agreed.

Same with Malpas, some papers saying yes some no.

I'm in no way an 'in the know' poster, but I just wish that it would be announced already if like so many have said, it's already a done deal. Someone said Scott Robertson said the team have been told it's Butcher and they'll meet him for the first training session on Monday, well what about us fans being told?!

I'm very apprehensive about this news as I think he'll be a fantastic manager for us!

This is all about papers and journos trying to be smart asses and pretend they have the inside scoop.

If he's fantastic for us, we'll hold onto him for 3 minutes before bigger clubs come calling. Doing a good steady job would be a nice change.

Just been informed SSN are reporting that Butcher has returned to Inverness and Hibs haven't been given permission to talk to MM. Anybody watching it??

[--------]

if the players don't lift the performance rates higher for the game on saturday then i think they are in for a few shocks Doddie, but i think they will already know that, i had no plans to go to the game after recent displays but i think i'l give them another chance to impress me :)


Hope springs eternal, hm? :wink:

Provided this IS a done deal and not just the biggest load of horse-feathers in living memory, and if the man's sitting in the stand looking on (though I wouldn't be surprised of he isn't), then the players ought to raise their game mightily or face the consequences.

Mind you, if they raise their game and WIN, that raises the question of why the freak they weren't doing it for Fenlon?

[Aldo]

Wtf are these reporters on. One minute he has permission the next minute he doesn't.

ICT chairman is playing a silly beggers game if true.

The players have not been told it's TB.

They weren't training as a unit yesterday but one or two were in for treatment on injuries, no sign or mention of TB having the job.

I'm not as convinced as others are that everything is cut and dried (no offence meant to others who have info to the contrary).

[Andy74]

Just been informed SSN are reporting that Butcher has returned to Inverness and Hibs haven't been given permission to talk to MM. Anybody watching it??

Sounds fine. First step will have been to agree deal with him and we can then agree the approach for all three.

Just been on, exactly as you have just said.

[Beefster]

This always happen when Rodders is in negotiations. No-one has a clue what's going on, the media are taking contradictory positions and Rodders is sitting quietly in an office somewhere staring down an agent and potential recruit.

[Waxy]

I guess he'll be announced tomorrow for maximum exposure.

[Flanny boy]

That's right it's malpas hibs can't talk to
butcher back in the highlands to make a
decision according to Ssn

[jacomo]

Wtf are these reporters on. One minute he has permission the next minute he doesn't.

Its Malpas that hasn't been given permission according to reports not Butcher

And I can imagine Rod balking at bringing TB's backroom staff to Hibs too.

As far as I can see, TB holds all the cards here. ICT will let him go (for the right compensation) and we want him. If he wants Malpas and the scout to join him he should hold out for that and not let Rod talk him out of it.

[Golden Bear]

Looks like there will be no imminent announcement but hopefully the deal is still very much alive.

:hyper:

[Highland Hibby]

It's the whole management team that have done the job at ICT I would be quite disappointed if it was only TB that came.

[stevejordan]

Looks like there will be no imminent announcement but hopefully the deal is still very much alive.

It seems to be dragging on a bit is there a Plan B anyone heard any other potential candidates ?

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

I would agree, IF he comes (and according to reporters its still a huge if) i reckon it will be with the whole mob.

If Petrie is not moving with the backroom staff i think Butcher might tell him to bolt.

Fingers crossed, was hoping this would be announced today but obviously not.

At the moment, i'm in the pessimist camp.

[bingo70]

Can't say I'm really arsed either way. I think his reputation on here is far higher than it should be considering what he's achieved as a manager but in saying that if he does get the job I'm happy enough to look positively on his record at caley and hope for the best.

Plenty other good managers out there if we don't get butcher.

[nribs]

It seems to be dragging on a bit is there a Plan B anyone heard any other potential candidates ? The guy on the BBC said Craig Levein was a definate candidate so it must be true.

[Hibbylad86]

TheCat23.....your need to have a word with your sources!

Admins - get him binned!!

[steakbake]

First up, would be delighted if TB did actually come to Hibs.

That said, is anyone else a bit mystified as to why there doesn't appear to be a bit more of a longer process - see who else in the football world (and not from just within the Scottish football goldfish bowl) is interested and going from there?

It feels like Butcher was the immediate person we've turned to without there being a bit more of a process of weighing up who else is interested. If you're headhunting someone without there being a recruitment process, then surely that puts a lot of the cards into the applicants hand... kind of a "if you're interested, how interested...?"

Seems to me the club has been reading the Fenlon Out Butcher In threads too much...

Or is it just that football is very different from pretty much any business on the planet?

[IanM]

Sky Sports understands Inverness boss Terry Butcher has returned home to consider an offer to take over as the new manager of Hibernian.

The former Rangers and England defender met with Easter Road chairman Rod Petrie on Wedneseday after being given permission to discuss the position vacated by Pat Fenlon last week.

Butcher, who previously managed Coventry, Sunderland and Motherwell, and turned down advances from Barnsley earlier this year, has been in charge at Caley Thistle since January 2009.

It is believed he is keen to take his backroom team of Maurice Malpas and Steve Marsella with him but Hibernian are refusing to comment on an issue which may be resolved by a compensation package.

Speaking earlier this week, Inverness chairman Kenny Cameron said: "Terry has been informed of the situation and has expressed an interest in meeting with Hibs officials.

"The club has, with great reluctance, granted him permission to do so. We will, however, continue to do everything possible to ensure that Terry remains our manager."

In a twist of fate, Inverness travel to the capital on Saturday to face a Hibernian side under the guidance of Jimmy Nicholl, who took charge of the side following Fenlon's departure.

haha why would they comment?

[Thecat23]

TheCat23.....your need to have a word with your sources!

Admins - get him binned!!

I think I do as well. Although he's still telling me it's done! I'll kill him if this falls through :greengrin He's always spot on though so I am finding this a bit strange.

[Purehibee_MYB]

Never simple with Hibs is it :rolleyes:

[EH6 Hibby]

haha why would they comment?

Hibs never do, unless anything is official.

[Fat Penlon]

So if he doesn't take the job by tomorrow will ICT expect him to be in the dugout for them on Saturday?

:confused:

[Seveno]

I just hope that Rod isn't going to screw it all up by refusing to pay for the whole TB team.

Is he that stupid that he doesn't realise that the success comes from the whole package ?

[scott7_0(Prague)]

Forth1 reporting talks went well with TB... more to follow on the 1pm Sport News

Never simple with Hibs is it :rolleyes:

Take it we have to cancel the Welcome to Hibs Terry Butcher party then :( :cb

[The Sea-gull]

He won't be able to mull over it for long. Surely ICT will want him to commit to them before he takes the team against us on Sat?

If I was their chairman and he didn't commit to them by the end of the day today then I would look at giving him some time off this weekend.

[PapillonVert]

I wonder if he has gone back to Inverness out of politeness so that he can tell Kenny Cameron face to face that he would like to accept the Hibs' offer?

Or am I being too optimistic?

[Spike Mandela]

Take it we have to cancel the Welcome to Hibs Terry Butcher party then :( :cb

We do tend to get ahead of ourselves. Hibs of course have said nothing officially yet about an appointment.:agree:

[Steve20]

:confused:

Unless anything changes in the next two days, he's still Inverness manager, so I'd imagine he would be in charge of them on Saturday.

[Hibs7]

Of course he has gone back to Inverness, that is where he lives, he may have to talk to his assistants and see if they want to come, knowing what Hibs want will have a big influence on whether Hibs get the complete team, if they don't then I don't think big Tell will come.. Plus I am sure his wife will have a say in all this .

[Peevemor]

He's gone back to Snecky as he's run out of clean kegs & socks.

FACT!

[The Harp Awakes]

I just hope that Rod isn't going to screw it all up by refusing to pay for the whole TB team.

Is he that stupid that he doesn't realise that the success comes from the whole package ?

I suspect the issue may be the level of compo for the backroom staff in addition to the compo for TB. The BBC were estimating TB's compo at ~£200k the other day so you could be looking at total compo of ~£300-400k which would be a fair amount of dosh for Hibs.

[Wee Scottie Dug]

a bit of perspective needed here (dare I say as usual:greengrin ) .......

All Sky is reporting (via Luke Shanley at east mains) is that talks were held yesterday/today and that TB has returned either home or to inverness to consider his options(they think). They also stated that newspaper reports were the source for the MM/permission issue (if there is one!)

Its all really speculation from them , but I'd imagine TB would want to inform his employers at ICT of his decision as the next step in the process closely followed by statements from both clubs hopefully ICT announcing he has left followed by our announcement of the appointment.

:flag:

Or he is just going home as all the taking for him is done and dusted.

Now it's done Rod will go back to ICT in a clear position to barter for the release of the other two.

Job done by this evening or tomorrow.

Due to playing them at the weekend I doubt we will get the pictures taken and so on until Monday.

[SteveHFC]

Right who are my doubters so I can block you all :greengrin

You are starting to disappointment me mate :(

No he doesn't, he lives in Bridge of Allan.

If TB decides not to come, this will be the reason put forward by all those lucky people who seem to have an open line to RP's thoughts and deeds. That, and RP will probably have phoned TB on his mobile on the way back to the Hielands (before TB even reaches the Forth Road Bridge) and try to get him to take a pay cut before he even starts.

FACT!


He has went back home....ummm, isnt that what usually happens?

I doubt Rod offered to put him up for free! :greengrin

He offered one of the benches in the changing room at East Mains for TB to kip on and promised only to deduct a fiver from TB's first wage packet. FACT! :greengrin

[Hibs7]

I suspect the issue may be the level of compo for the backroom staff in addition to the compo for TB. The BBC were estimating TB's compo at ~£200k the other day so you could be looking at total compo of ~£300-400k which would be a fair amount of dosh for Hibs.

For 6 months of his remaining contract ..I don't think so.. Plus his assistant and scout could just resign .. With no comeback whatsoever.


No he doesn't, he lives in Bridge of Allan.

He has a house there .. But lives in Inverness just now !

[Craig_in_Prague]

he's away home to get his dog and then is returning in a helicopter with malpas in his suitcase.
FACT.

[The Gorf]

It's all down to one last issue........... Can TB claim for the suppers after away games on expenses.

[Hibbyradge]

I just hope that Rod isn't going to screw it all up by refusing to pay for the whole TB team.

Is he that stupid that he doesn't realise that the success comes from the whole package ?

I don't think he's stupid in the slightest.

[The Harp Awakes]

For 6 months of his remaining contract ..I don't think so.. Plus his assistant and scout could just resign .. With no comeback whatsoever.

The compo figures will be based on what's in their contracts with room for negotiation no doubt. The BBC were just speculating but I agree £200k for TB seems a bit high. Whatever the figure involved, there's no doubt Rod will play hard ball though.

[Heedersnvolleys]

If Petrie is not moving with the backroom staff i think Butcher might tell him to bolt.

If Petrie is not moving on the back room staff he can bolt. Even from a far most people can see that it is the back room team that has made ICT succesful not one man!

To counter that I get the feeling it is the ICT board that is not moving on the back room staff

[Hibbyradge]

I wonder if he has gone back to Inverness out of politeness so that he can tell Kenny Cameron face to face that he would like to accept the Hibs' offer?

Or am I being too optimistic?

If he does sign for us, I think that's exactly what would, and should, happen.

He'll also want to tell his players face to face rather than allow them to hear about it in the media.

[Heisenberg]

If TB is keen to sign for us and the ICT board are playing hard ball over the rest of the staff surely they can just resign to make it happen?

[Andy74]

If TB is keen to sign for us and the ICT board are playing hard ball over the rest of the staff surely they can just resign to make it happen?

There's no evidence that is is an issue.

The process seems straight enough. Agree with Butcher that he wants to come and who he wants working with him then go back to ICT and agree deal for them. It's only been reported that there is no deal for them yet not that we've tried and failed to get a deal for them.

[Corstorphine Hibby]

The compo figures will be based on what's in their contracts with room for negotiation no doubt. The BBC were just speculating but I agree £200k for TB seems a bit high. Whatever the figure involved, there's no doubt Rod will play hard ball though.

Can TB and his backroom staff not just resign ? Or is that too simplistic?

[brog]

a bit of perspective needed here (dare I say as usual:greengrin ) .......

All Sky is reporting (via Luke Shanley at east mains) is that talks were held yesterday/today and that TB has returned either home or to inverness to consider his options(they think). They also stated that newspaper reports were the source for the MM/permission issue (if there is one!)

Its all really speculation from them , but I'd imagine TB would want to inform his employers at ICT of his decision as the next step in the process closely followed by statements from both clubs hopefully ICT announcing he has left followed by our announcement of the appointment.

:flag:

I think you're spot on, this is just normal process. Re rest of management team IMO this is just ICT trying to get best deal they can, just as we would! I remain extremely optimistic.

[Hibbyradge]

Can TB and his backroom staff not just resign ? Or is that too simplistic?

I really don't think there's an issue.

I have never heard of an assistant manager being forced to stay against his wishes after the main man has gone.

[Speedway]

Can't say I'm really arsed either way. I think his reputation on here is far higher than it should be considering what he's achieved as a manager but in saying that if he does get the job I'm happy enough to look positively on his record at caley and hope for the best.

Plenty other good managers out there if we don't get butcher.

Is Butcher ICT's Mowbray as far as their fans and players are concerned?

If so, he'd want to say his goodbyes properly since he signed their entire squad.

[Thecat23]

I think he's heading up to say goodbye and that he's taken the job. Seems a decent guy and prob wants to do it face to face rather than through the media. Also hoping he's telling a few that he'll be in for them in Jan.

[AndyM_1875]

I really don't think there's an issue.

I have never heard of an assistant manager being forced to stay against his wishes after the main man has gone.

They never are. Remember Andy Watson took the Hibs team for a match with Motherwell after McLeish went to Rangers. Watson joined up soon afterwards.
Malpas will probably take the ICT team on Saturday and join up with Butcher afterwards.

[Heisenberg]

@InvCourier: Terry Butcher at Caley Thistle today but did not take training. No word from the club yet.

Also noticed Malpas is doing the pre game press stuff.

[Hibee87]

Or he is just going home as all the taking for him is done and dusted.

Now it's done Rod will go back to ICT in a clear position to barter for the release of the other two.

Job done by this evening or tomorrow.

Due to playing them at the weekend I doubt we will get the pictures taken and so on until Monday.

I would say if Butcher is coming it MUST be announced before Sat's game, otherwise he would be in the inverness dug out.

Would think the picture of him at E.M, as you say, wont be till monday but the official announcment has to be either today or tomorrow

[Hibbyradge]

I think he'll say goodbye to the players at training tomorrow and then head down to ER to be announced as the next manager to fail Hibs.

Sorry, couldn't resist. :tin hat:

[GloryGlory]

I really don't think there's an issue.

I have never heard of an assistant manager being forced to stay against his wishes after the main man has gone.

No, neither do I. The worst case scenario is that Malpas and co have to see out their contracts, which I assume have the same end date as TB's and join Hibs at the end of the season. In the meantime, I am sure TB and JN can work together, they've done so before.

This situation also wouldn't suit ICT, surely? They would want to get a new management team in as soon as possible.

Again, what is the point of making Malpas stay, unless they wish to offer him the manager's job?

They can just resign from their jobs and the compo package gets settled by a tribuneral.

[Heisenberg]

Poor tie choice from Luke Shanley. Malpas has supposedly said its up to TB to decide what he does and no fans can complain if he wants to take the job. He currently has no decision to make as Hibs dont have permission to talk to him.

[Stevie Reid]

:agree:

Malpas will surely want to know what the deal is. If they don't want him as manager then the only other argument is that they want him as part of the new coaching staff, but that would reduce their options with regards to getting a new manager in. If there's a chance that MM may be out of a job in the next few months, he'll certainly want to find out.

Unless anything changes in the next two days, he's still Inverness manager, so I'd imagine he would be in charge of them on Saturday.

He will 100% NOT be in charge of Caley on Saturday.

[Purehibee_MYB]

Take it we have to cancel the Welcome to Hibs Terry Butcher party then :( :cb

Flags are folded, Disco ball strapped to my back, just need the flares and we are ready at a moments notice :wink:

[hibsitis]

RP has too much credibility at stake to make a mess of this. The BBC reporting earlier that terms had been agreed presumably was because this was tied up via his agent before the official approach was made. The only uncertainty will be ICT's compensation. I suspect TB has been going through the motions of negotiation to make it appear things are being done 'properly' and, if compensation is agreed, the announcement will be before Saturday and TB won't be in either dugout.

[CB_NO3]

Malpas wont be saying too much. He might even be in contention for the managers jobs at ICT. I would happily take Butcher and Marsella if it came to the crunch. Marsella is a highly regarded scout/coach.

[Jack]

How will this work? Will Inverness CT announce that he has left first or will Hibs break the news that he is the new manager first? I just want to know what webpage I should refresh over and over again at work today.

Try the companies internet fair usage page!

[southsider]

This is dragging on longer than a Hibs game under Fenlon (or does it just seem like that).

[Jack]

What I don't get is we have some posters saying it'll be announced at 9am, 12pm, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Some papers saying nothing has been agreed, some saying terms have been agreed.

Same with Malpas, some papers saying yes some no.

I'm in no way an 'in the know' poster, but I just wish that it would be announced already if like so many have said, it's already a done deal. Someone said Scott Robertson said the team have been told it's Butcher and they'll meet him for the first training session on Monday, well what about us fans being told?!

I'm very apprehensive about this news as I think he'll be a fantastic manager for us!

A classic example of why Hibs don't normally even mention stuff until it, whatever it is, is signed sealed and delivered.

[Thecat23]

He hasn't though. :greengrin

:agree:

I've been told TB has agreed to come - the finer details of who comes with him are slowing things down - plus he wants to leave on good terms with ICT.

He will be in the stands on Saturday.

RP wouldn't have allowed it on the website and he would come in for severe stick if this didn't happen now - basically if TM had turned it down - then the next manager would have been 2nd choice!!

I really hope they sort the back room staff out though as Malpas and the scout are keep components to success.

And, as far as I can remember, the only people who were in situ with another club were Yogi and McLeish.

Which ones were we so aware of, so early in the process?

We usually wouldn't have known that TB was even in the frame if it hadn't been for the BBC.

Butcher has gone back to tell his chairman and players face to face out of respect for a club he has been with for 4 years and with whom he has built a close relationship.

I would expect nothing less.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Are we getting carried away with the importance of the background team? Maybe slightly, although I hope if it is to be TB he can bring who he wants. The new manager will have this group of players to work with for the time being.

Hibs issued a statement earlier in the week saying that Jimmy Nicholl was requested to prepare the squad for Saturday's game. I'm guessing that TB would like to inform the Inverness squad in person of his decision and if he is coming to us then its perfectly understandable that he'll not be in either dug out on Saturday.

I've fixed that for you.

He's pondering nowt. He's already signed, imo.

[Hermit Crab]

thats exactly what I have heard

Certainly seems the most plausible explanation to me.

[HibeeEmma]

Malpas speaks...

What a strange interview! Seems like a guy who won't take any nonsense from players :agree:

Awful interview. Stick to the backroom stuff Maurice

[Peevemor]

whether I go, don't go,, that's really nothing to do with me."

Hows that work then ?

I'm more concerned about the moon getting closer! :panic:

[Andy74]

Is he suggesting the moon might be getting a bit closer?!

[greenlex]

Is he suggesting the moon might be getting a bit closer?!Ive heard its already signed and we are just waiting on the fishul announcement.

[Hibs7]

Is he suggesting the moon might be getting a bit closer?!

Nah, just not taking the blame for it if it does :greengrin

[Hibbyradge]

Speculation, Peevster, it's just speculation.

Ha ha. His patter is gauping!:faf: doesn't seem the sort to mess with in training either.:cb

Isn't the moon actually drifting further away?

[Hermit Crab]

Isn't the moon actually drifting further away?

Indeed it is.

[Robinho08]

I've got a funny feeling this may fall through. Though theCat23 makes me think I'm most likely wrong.

[Thecat23]

Indeed it is.

At least that's a fact I have right :D

Loads of paper work etc needs to be done. All loose ends tied up. It will be announced soon enough. Butcher is the type of guy who seems honest and wants to head up and wish his "former" team all the best for the rest of the season.

[snooky]

Indeed it is.

It's getting harder by the day for players to be over it ;-)

I think it's moving away at the same rate your finger nails grow.

[Aldo]

Thought this was a Terry Butcher thread not bloody astronomy from our .net budding Patrick Moore's. Tsk tsk

I shake my head
(Can you no hear the sound)

;-)

[SMAXXA]

He was at EM today but didnt meet the players I believe, looking around by all accounts.

What - like faster when it's sunny! :panic:

Butcher will be the next manager 100%.

[Thecat23]

Haha, liked that :D

[Gustavo Fring]

[The_Horde]

I've heard the moon has signed but the we're too far apart with the sun at the moment.

[Hermit Crab]

Ah but you don't get the scoop for this one. Professor Brian Cox takes the credit. :D

What do the media do all day?!! Surely they should be camping outside East Mains looking for a story :greengrin

Windy day to look around East Mains which is usually windy on a normal day :cool2:

[Jim44]

For what it's worth, the opinion of one of the guests on tonight's Sportsound was that if Petrie doesn't land his man, he is as good as out the door.

My mate who takes pics for the Scotsman says they get the heads up whenever there's something to be revealed.

No text as yet :(
