Butcher & Malpas - have they been gagged?!

[Ross89]

I've not seen or heard anything from Butcher or Malpas since their sacking (I presume Malpas HAS been sacked, has this actually been confirmed?)

It would be interesting to hear their views (along the lines of "we admit that we monumentally cocked it up at Hibs").

Have the club forbidden them from speaking as part of their "payoff"?

[lord bunberry]

I think all managers sign a confidentially clause

[Peevemor]

Fmmff mff!

[Ross89]

I think all managers sign a confidentially clause

That's a shame as I'd love to hear their views on the shambles that was last season. Even to hear them admitting their mistakes would perhaps provide an extremely small amount of comfort!

[HH81]

Fmmff mff!

Any reason why your going onto threads and posting crap?

[Peevemor]

It was an attempt at humour, ie. Malpas's stock answer whilst wearing a gag. Geddit?

Any reason why you're starting new threads about stuff that's being discussed already on the forum?

[Golden Bear]

Equally, last year's playing squad should be asked to appear individually in front of a selected Hibs net firing squad in order to explain their total lack of professionalism both on and off the park.

Your humour needs some work. :na na:

If it has I am sure it will be merged?

[Groathillgrump]

I appreciated your humour and thought it was funny. :greengrin

:agree:

Hibs should release them from any gagging clause immediately. I imagine their views might be full of self-pity, but this would only confirm that LD was right to get shot of them.

[Geo_1875]

I really don't care to hear their excuses for the calamity that was last season. I'm quite happy for any confidentiality clause to remain in force.

If I were them I really wouldn't want to talk about their " achievements " at ER

[Keith_M]

Maybe it would have been funnier if you'd used this.

There probably still on the payroll unfortunately. Means they probably can't speak about Hibs or they'll be in breach of contract

I'm assuming that they haven't received a pay-off and are on permanent gardening leave and still receiving their wages. Therefore as employees of the club they would be liable to disciplinary procedures if they said anything derogatory.

Alternatively, maybe they've just crawled under a rock and don't want to come out as they are too embarrassed about the rancid job they did here.

Why do people on here always seem to want to have a pop at you. FWIW I think you post some good stuff and are worth listening to. I just don't get where some people on here are coming from.

Nice wee dig there Doddie, but how many managers do you hear spilling the beans about what went on at their former clubs?

[Peevemor]

It's probably because I'm not averse to having a pop at people myself - especially of the scratched record variety.

Don't worry about it - I don't. :aok:

Frankly I dont see the point of looking at the past. Anything they might say will have absolutely no effect on the future of Hibs. Move on, point less post.

[GordonR]

I'll save you those sleepless nights of wondering. They'd blame, in short order--

1. Petrie and the set-up at the club.
2. The players.
3. Bad luck and some poor refereeing decisions.
4. The fans.

At no point would they turn their keen analytical skills on their own abilities or performance in the job.

[(((Fergus)))]

1) It was funny.

2) I have no interest in hearing from either of those balloons ever again. They said nothing of insight while here - swearing aside - and are unlikely to say anything of insight afterwards. Their main concern now is trying to save their reputation, such as it was.

[erin go bragh]

Heard enough of their bull**** first time . Can we please try and forget about they pair of buffoons .

Ggtth

[Wembley67]

Absolutely no one whatever job you are in with a slightest bit of common sense is going to open up about the goings on at a previous employers.

It can be bad enough Joe Public doing it in the pub but too national papers??? Any potential employers will not touch you if you are mouthing off about previous jobs.

[Broken Gnome]

Was Malpas not interviewed just after they were told to do one? Seem to remember some generic regret and confusion at how it had all panned out.

[Ross89]

Disagree - lessons learned from their mistakes?

Nothing learned from Calderwood or Yogi or Mixu. I could go on naming names it wont achieve didilly squat. Look forward not back.

Nice wee dig there Doddie, but how many managers do you hear spilling the beans about what went on at their former clubs?

Sorry, Peevemor, but Easter Road's about as people friendly as the Lubianka and has been for far too long.

Football supporters are much more than 'customers', but that's how STF and RP have always treated us. I don't want to hear what Butcher or Malpas think about Hibs, their time at Hibs, their sackings from Hibs, or where Hibs could possibly go from here.

Dishing the dirt on former employers is unethical anyway, whether an NDA is in place or not.

But I would like to know more than I do about how the team I've followed for 50 years is being run, and I'm not prepared to accept a "Don't worry, Sir Tom and Uncle Rod and Auntie Leeann know best" line, because I'm not in any sense persuaded that they do.

[bigwheel]

I'm not sure butcher and malpas would come out in any positive light speaking about their time here - they would be best to keep there heads down - one of the biggest fails in Scottish football history

[Bostonhibby]

Non-Disclosure Agreements. :agree:

Well-beloved of STF and RP for many years now.

:agree: It's how Rod has kept a long line of sacked, departed by mutual etc......managers from disclosing anything, chiefly his own role in their appointments, departures and crucially day to day influences......allegedly obviously:wink:

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

I dont want to hear from them ever again.

[Speedway]

Is Peevemor funny? - yes.

Justified as "standard business practice".

They both need to learn that there's a vast difference between running a football club in a business-like manner, and running it and treating it just like any other business, and the supporters as no better than cash-cows.

Which is what they do.

Cough up the money to buy us then. Like it or not (and i understand that we are not "normal" customers) the club does not have to tell you everything that goes on. The club also has it's rights

[Hibiza]

Malpas, foul mouth . he be swearing down the pub.

[Baldy Foghorn]

I really don't care to hear their excuses for the calamity that was last season. I'm quite happy for any confidentiality clause to remain in force.

Snap, nothing that the two clowns could say, would appease me now, after their calamitous efforts........No comfort would be taken from hearing them describe their short comings

[Kato]

Malpas was interviewed in The Sun a couple of weeks ago.

Not heard anything from Butcher, he'll be in a crockery shop somewhere playing Toro with the cups and saucers.

[Lester B]

I'm not sure butcher and malpas would come out in any positive light speaking about their time here - they would be best to keep there heads down - one of the biggest fails in Scottish football history

And also for some reason both print and broadcast media seem to love Butcher. Therefore no one would be willing to ask him the one question we would all like to ask him: you do know tactics are not small mint sweets don't you?

[Caversham Green]

So if they were to talk, what do we think they would say?

I know the answer for Maurice Hapless (4,3 one letter used three times) but what about Butcher?

[Thecat23]

People often think these deals are done when they leave or are sacked. They are actually in their contract from when they arrive and they sign it then. Saves any hassle of getting them to sign when getting the bullet!

[3pm]

It seems, where Ms Dempster is concerned, silence is golden. I don't like the new home kit. The cynic in me reckons it's a ploy to sell more away kits as Hibs will have to change for more games as the new disaster looks like most other strips in the league. They'll certainly have to change when playing at Ibrox and Tynecastle.

Regarding honouring the Famous Five with this strip, I think it's an extremely contrived reason for for doing away with the white sleeves. Hibs have had white sleeves since 1938 (76 years ago), but to us still living Hibs supporters, the white sleeves made it a Hibs strip just like Motherwell's claret hoop or Blackburn's blue & white halfs.

Apparently Petrie arranged for a horses heid to be put in their beds to ensure omerta prevailed. Problem was they knew it was him as he invoiced them for delivery.

No wonder, they should be utterly embarrassed at how spectacularly they plummeted us.

Well said. I fully and utterly agree with you. Why does it have to be such a big secret all the time with Hibs?

[yekimevol]

I don't want to hear anything from them not even an apology, they are the worst thing to happen to our great club that I have ever witnessed taken a mid table side into relegation and now Dempster and Stubbs have to pick up the pieces and lead us onwards and hopefully upwards.

What has any of that got to do with Butcher and Malpas?

There are several threads around for people mto whinge about pieces of clothing they don't like.

[hfc rd]

I'm sure they were in charge of the Brazil team against Germany last night.

Don't really want to hear their excuses. Two complete utter bawbags who have failed at every club they have been at except Inverness. Don't think they will get a job in football management again. Any chairmen or chairwomen should stay well clear off these two clowns.

[jacomo]

So if they were to talk, what do we think they would say?

I know the answer for Maurice Hapless (4,3 one letter used three times) but what about Butcher?

Butcher: "I asked Rod: If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be? I wanted to get inside his head a little bit. Me, I'm an English Oak - big, strong, and big. Broad-shouldered and warrior-like, if you like. Am I still talking about trees? Maybe. Talking about warriors with Roman noses, Rome wasn't built in a day. And certainly not with these so called soldiers. Kevin Thomson's probably a socialist. Anyhow, it's all about the long view. I am Ceasar and I will build an Empire to last a thousand years. Up and at em boys! But Rod didn't answer the question. Just muttered something about being relegated, and left the room in tears."

Malpas: ****** **** *** you ****** ******** *****!

Butcher just been on 5 live talking about world cup final- on gardening leave apparently so still being paid by the club. Says he's looking forward to doing f&&k all in the season ahead (but being paid obviously).

[James70]

He was also on BBC Breakfast talking about losing penalty shoot outs and his experiences of them as a player. Strangely he never talked about his most recent experience of losing one as a manager.
