Perhaps a good manager. He will not take any nonsense with the players

Experience - check

Winning mentality - check

Doesn't take ***** off players - check

Gets the best out of under performing players - check

Won't let the board interfere - check.

Can't think of many cons about him to be honest. His honesty would be totally refreshing too and I think he would be 100% committed to the position.

So why is his club bottom of the league again?

Because they possibly have the lowest budget for playing staff in the league by a considerable distance.

The fact he's kept them in the SPL is itself a success. Same could be said when he was manager of Motherwell and kept them up, playing well during administration.

***bingo70*** · 20-11-2011 05:49 PM

If he's got such a winning mentality then why does every team he manages lose so often?

He's pish and just cos he shouts a lot doesn't make him 'a leader'

I like Terry but please .. surely his record as a manager suggests that he's not the man?!!

Kept Motherwell up and playing well during administration, got them to the Scottish Cup final also, brought Inverness back up to the SPL at the first time of asking. Kept them in the league too.

I would also call keeping Inverness unbeaten for the whole calender year away from home, half in the SPL and half in the SPL as a tremendous record and achievement no?

His record as a manager in Scotland is in fact a really good record considering the teams managed and the circumstances whilst managing them.

**James70** · 20-11-2011 05:54 PM

We have two priorities and these are 1) getting away from the relegation zone and 2) getting bums back on seats by playing entertaining football.

I quite agree he would soon sort out the wasters in the team but I am not so confident that he is the answer as far as our priorities are concerned.

His Inverness side went a whole year unbeaten away from home.

The teams he has managed haven't been anywhere near the level of Hibernian, with his man management and being able to get the best out of players I think he would be a really good shout.

**murray26** · 20-11-2011 05:55 PM

He'll get the crowds flocking back (not) We need a man who is going to play attacking entertaining football not some gutty mouth, as for his budget being the smallest in the league by a long shot i doubt that very much, If Butcher gets the job it would be no better than what we've just lost, cant see it happening thankfully surely RP isn't that stupid.

As I said on Friday he is well in to get the job. I think it will be him or Fenlon. He has been highly recommended to the Board.

Fair comment in fairness. However, at Inverness he's a good fit. And I hope I continue to enjoy his interesting interviews etc as their manager and not ours!

I think he could do both. @ Motherwell when they went into admin he brought through the youngsters and they played some great stuff.

Inverness, not the most attractive of play but with Rooney in the side holding up top they bummed us last year good time.

***Billy Whizz*** · 20-11-2011 05:58 PM

No thanks and after yesterday's outburst after the match I think he'll be spending a wee while in the stand

For me Smurph it's nothing to do with his interviews it's his way of getting the best out of his side no matter the circumstances.

Perhaps the job would be too big for him but I would much rather have him in the position than someone like Hughes and CC that just made it up as they went along.

He sounds like John Hughes except that Hughes hadn't been sacked by about five clubs before we appointed him.

Fair do's. I think he sounds a lot better than Hughes though.

Agreed. I can't understand the hard-on people have for him as a manager, as his record is nothing but abject failure punctuated with the odd burst of mediocrity.

His Motherwell team finished bottom of the league saved from relegation by the SPL closing ranks on Falkirk
