Butcher watch

[KeithTheHibby]

In order to deflect some attention from our own inept display at the weekend I did notice that our ex manager guided Newport to a 3-0 thumping defeat on the opening day of the season.

Nice start Terry and its clear your magic is working.:greengrin

Goal two was about the worst goal ever conceded by a football team not called Hibs.

[GreenArmyyy!]

:D

[Bostonhibby]

This result is a perfect example of how the tactic of losing a goal first to get it out of the way doesn't work. I was surprised that Tel hadn't given up on that one by now.

The opposition will eventually get to know that's one from his impressive armoury of footballing strategies.

Passing the ball back and forward aimlessly for long periods without getting anywhere can be just as murder to watch as hoofing the ball forward and hoping for the best. And to be fair to Butcher, he built Inverness into the successful side they've been for a few years on a smaller budget than Stubbs is getting with Hibs (and that's not counting the multiple coaches, technical this and that's and so on Stubbs has brought in).

Yes, Butcher ****ed Hibs up (although Hughes, Fenlon, Calderwood and Collins all helped send us in that direction), but with a clean slate and a new team, who's to say he couldn't have gotten Hibs up in one go like he did with Inverness, even if the football WAS murder?

Scrap that, it's 1-1 now!

Couldn't really care less what that clown is up to now, i'm just mighty glad he's away from us!

I mean lets not kid ourselves, we had been heading for relegation for years and perhaps it was the rock bottom we had to hit in order to make the huge changes needed but how a manager could send us into such a free fal in such a short period of time is astonishing.

[Pretty Boy]

Does Matt Docherty still play for Wolves?

If so hopefully there's a power failure and they find some reason to kick both Newport and Wolves from the competition.

So having witnessed both Butchers "style" of play at Hibs and Stubbs which one would you prefer to watch? I speak regularly to a lad who plays for the development side and having worked under both Stubbs and Butcher I can assure you him and the rest of the young lads are a million times happier now than they were. They love seeing Stubbs at there games unlike when Malpas would turn up and basically old school bully them. This went for the first team as well. Butcher ROYALLY SHAFTED our club and having seen the change in attitude Stubbs and Dempster have fostered I am astounded at your post... But it's your opinion so fair enough.

Hughes, Fenlon, Calderwood and Collins (last Hibs manager to WIN anything, depsite the ****ing team) all failed in many ways. They also failed to get us relegated. Make no mistake, Butcher took over Fenlon's bad team and made us worse. That was NOT coming under Fenlon. Yes, we'd have been bottom six and pish to watch but I very much doubt we would have been relegated. Only that ****ing ejit could manage to take a problematic issue and turn it into a full on, grade a ****ing catastrophe....

Correct. That said, dont give a rats ass about Newport :greengrin

In other news, they will be shuddering in the front rows with his words of encouragement to players young and old, as good old Tel hurls abuse left, right and centre at his OWN team.

The best thing to happen to Hibs in the last three years was that clown walking out the ****ing door. :agree:

[Bostonhibby]

I see he was saying this week that his young players have to 'grow up' and that they got a 'bit of his tongue' at the weekend. Looks like the man management skills are coming to the fore again.

The clocks ticking by the look of it, he seems to have moved directly to "grow up" " bit of his tongue" type of motivation without even using the buying them a fish supper bit in between - mind you it never worked at Hibs so maybe he's learned something?

Or alternatively he's just going to get sacked quicker - another pay off.

Whilst I have no problem with Newport FC, I also couldn't care less about them. Appointing Terry Butcher as their manager after what he done to us was a daft decision at best, so it serves them right. For their sake I hope they see sense and bring in a competent manager before it's too late.

I think you can count supporters in with that too. I don't remember too many dissenters on here when Hibs were chasing him.

[Keith_M]

I went against the grain when both Hughes and Mixu were appointed, as I'm not keen on signing up former players as managers, and I didn't like Yogi (because of the 'match of shame' at ER when he was Bairns Manager)

I was indifferent to the Fenlon and Calderwood signings, just kept my fingers crossed and hoped for the best.

But, sadly, I was one of the many that thought Butcher would be a good Manager at Hibs, based on his previous stint with ICT.

Beaten again at the weekend. Going by the love in for him on there the previous manager must have been a nightmare .... I get that they want to defend a new manager in the face of a post from a fan of a team he got relegated ....... They would do well to ignore that and instead look at the position he got us relegated from ... It was the managerial equivalent of the proverbial 'it was harder to miss' strikers shot past the post.

At the time he seemed the best man for the job. I liked the way Hibs went to Inverness and said we want your manager and nothing is going to stop us attitude, it is what the old firm have done for years.
I still to this day don't understand how he made such a James Hunt of things...

Frankly Newport have much bigger problems than TB at the moment. They'll be pleased enough to have a club left at the end of the season.

It's taken a gargantuan effort to get that club reformed, placed all the way at the bottom of the pyramid and then all the way back up into the Football League, especially since in the early days they had to fight all they way against the FAW\LoW to be able to play in Newport without joining the Welsh league. Why are they called The Exiles? Because they had to play in England to begin with. To wish any ill on the club just to spite one ex-Hibs manager seems rather callous, but maybe I'm biased because I was born in Newport mind.

Anyway ..... If they think the contempt on here for Butcher is OTT then they want to check out our opinion of Colin 'sodding' Calderwood ...... IMO next to him Butcher is a Hibs legend.

I don't think anybody has a problem with Newport .... good luck to them, I think we all agree that its butcher we want to fall on his bahookie, who he currently manages is purely incidental.

Anyway ..... If they think the contempt on here for Butcher is OTT then they want to check out our opinion of Colin 'sodding' Calderwood ...... IMO next to him Butcher is a Hibs legend.

I think Calderwood gets a fairly easy ride on here compared to Butcher.

Whilst there's no doubt we had been on a downward spiral for a bit before then, when Calderwood took over there was still something to work with. He took that though and made an almighty **** of it and of all the managers we had he's the one I hold most contempt for. At least the other managers wanted to be here and try to sort it out, that sweetie-voyeur **** wasn't even half-hearted.

Fenlon took over Calderwood's shambles and it was a minor miracle he managed to achieve what he did with his sticking plaster approach to things.

It was only going to get him so far though and he passed a truly brutal squad onto Butcher. I think even Fenlon himself realised this and that was why he walked.

Butcher did manage to make an almighty erse of things, of that there is no doubt.

But I always find it amazing that so much contempt is held towards Butcher when in fact several men made significant contributions towards getting us into the position we now find ourselves trying to get out of.

None more so than the man who appointed and then sacked all those managers.

Correct ..... I can accept that a manager ( any manager ) can make a dugs dinner of a football club, even an epic fail like Butcher .... What I cant abide is a manager totally disrespecting the club I support ..... for that reason I will always hold Calderwood in the utmost contempt. Butcher was a rubbish manager, Calderwood was a rubbish human being.

Is Malpas with him at Newport?

[Sir David Gray]

Is Malpas with him at Newport?

I don't believe so.

I don't think he's got a job just now after leaving Raith Rovers in May.

[lord bunberry]

Frankly Newport have much bigger problems than TB at the moment. They'll be pleased enough to have a club left at the end of the season.

It's taken a gargantuan effort to get that club reformed, placed all the way at the bottom of the pyramid and then all the way back up into the Football League, especially since in the early days they had to fight all they way against the FAW\LoW to be able to play in Newport without joining the Welsh league. Why are they called The Exiles? Because they had to play in England to begin with. To wish any ill on the club just to spite one ex-Hibs manager seems rather callous, but maybe I'm biased because I was born in Newport mind.
I want Newport to lose another 2 or 3 games and sack Butcher, then go on a massive winning run and get promoted. That would show that clown up for what he is.

[Billy Whizz]

I don't believe so.

Good post. Calderwood's body language on the touchline gave me the impression, rightly or wrongly, that he just wasn't interested in being here. What that said to the players under his control can only be guessed at. A terrible appointment as it turned out.

My theory as to why Butcher gets it in the neck worse than Calderwood is simply because Butcher's catastrophic tenure is fresher in most folks' memories, and of course it was on his watch that the club finally went down.

The bit in bold is correct too of course, but that's been covered many times over and the club is in better hands now.

[ancient hibee]

I think quite a lot of people have it in for Butcher because they were so keen on him coming in the first place.

[Sir David Gray]

I think quite a lot of people have it in for Butcher because they were so keen on him coming in the first place.

Nope, it's because he turned a team that was admittedly already mediocre, but in mid-table safety, into a bottom of the table basket case who couldn't buy a win, within the space of six months.

I'm not saying people weren't happy when he was appointed but it's not the reason why he's getting a lot of criticism now.

[#FromTheCapital]

The reason Butcher gets it so tight is because he single-handedly relegated us from the SPFL in the space of a few months. He will go down as the worst manager in our history. We've had some shocking appointments in my lifetime, but Butcher trumps all of them including Calderwood and even the likes of Jim Duffy.

Reading that thread on the Newport forum, it seems like a few of them are starting to realise what a shambles Butcher is.

Before yesterday York were 3 points above Newport, who currently sit bottom of the league on a grand total of 1 point after 6 games.

He's on a 2 year deal and Newport are facing some dire financial problems at the moment. Not sure they have the money to sack him and bring a new management team in. Butcher isn't the type to walk away no matter how poorly he's doing either.

If anyone has any spare cash then it would seem a safe bet for Newport to finish bottom.

perhaps the saddest thing of all to come out of Butchers tenure at Newport so far is that the young Irish defender Kevin Feeley has actually decided to give up being a professional footballer.

Meantime, if reincarnation existed, it would make me laugh if Terrence Butcher was reincarnated as himself.

As good as their fans have been told their football is it is actually murder and is all about how big and athletic you are rather than how technical you are.

When they’re playing his way and bashing it into the corners then crossing it in they might do ok?

£20 HT-FT for me before the inevitible price collapse! :-)

Wondering if the bookies know something we don't. Paddy power now have Morecambe at 7/4. Newport have to fail to lose sometime but wouldn't have seen Morecambe as this long odds?

Aye, I got them at 9/4. Also baffled as to how Charlton are even money at home to Rotherham!

Reminds me of the last two derbies of butchers stint at Hibs. Hearts were priced at 3/1 for the ER game and 2/1 for the Tynecastle game. Hearts were starting to pick up a bit of form after they had accepted their inevitable relegation and hibs..... Well the less said about that the better. Hate to admit it but I lumped on hearts for both games and got a decent payday from what were essentially free money bets. Just goes to show that the bookies don't pay as much attention to games in lower leagues, or at least they don't know the full facts.

This is a bit different seeing as Newport are sitting bottom of the league. But I reckon the bookies just haven't looked into Butchers history as manager and have priced in favour of the home team (Newport).

As a side note the odds on Bet 365 have went even longer to 2/1.

I think you are right about the pricing. I have a bet365 account and have made enough on this one already to have another slice.Will check the current odds.
Never bet on or against hibs, just can't do it!

Been reinvesting some of my previous winnings here by taking some of the generous odds available on Morecambe - been lucky enough to get Reading and ICT up on a treble so just needing Newport to fail again - if Morecambe win there will be plenty for a KFK ticket as I have a few earlier single bets on them as well- its the least Tel can provide - fingers x'd - had plenty singles up recently but not a treble for a while.

The odds are now shortening on Morecambe and 15/8 is top price.

13 goals scored in their last 4 matches is a decent strike rate for any club, while poor wee Newport have amassed 3 goals in their last 5 matches.

That 15/8 looks a decent price and I'm tempted with the 7/2 for Morecambe HT/FT

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

1-0 Morecambe, keep up the good work Tel!

Butcher's boys one down at HT.

[Northernhibee]

Morcambe have had one attempt at goal and that was enough to flummox Butcher's defense. Great stuff:thumbsup:

The Butchers Boys must be absolutely fearless by now.
