I don't think they realised just what they were getting themselves involved in, the club is a shambles except for the young teams.

If they keep us up I wouldnae be surprised if they left in the summer and if we end up losing in the play off I wouldnae be surprised if they got emptied.

I said on a thread last night that I don't think Butcher fully appreciated the size of the task he was going to have at Hibs to get us to the level that we need to be at.

Last night on the radio he sounded like a man who was just utterly astonished with what he's seeing from week to week.

Away and stop blethering man.

You'll be telling us next to bring Mr Fenlon out of retirement and all will be well with the world.

I'm backing Butcher. He will turn this around and we will get this points we need. Starting on Sunday against the Yams.

Well if PF was still in charge we wouldn't be in a relegation fight we would be safe playing meaningless games

Thanks to TB we are in a dogfight or are you going to blame the last 15-16 games on PF as well?

[Bronson]

I know they've struggled since taking over, but threads like this are ridiculous.

[Borderhibbie76]

Looks and sounds like a defeated manager to me...he must rue the day he left Inverness now!! Getting rid aint the answer tho...we've tried that to death...it doesn't work. PETRIE is the one who needs to change his ways or GTF. I fear if we go down TB and MM will be sacked so petrie can push blame onto them. Maybe if petrie had provided funds in Jan to sign a couple of players we wouldn't be in this mess???

Butcher said at the outset that it was at least an 18 month job to get us where he wanted us to be. We were already on the slide, this squad had seen off one manager already but we're looking to chase another manager out the building. When will we learn?

There's nobody going to come in for the last four games that will give this side pace or creativity, nobody that can come in and make our injured players fit and available so that we don't have to out a severely patched up defence or rely on a cumbersome striker or kid for our goals.

Of course Butcher has to take responsibility but you can't just take that black and white approach to say it's his fault and that's that. You have to put the performances and results into context and look at what actions over however long have got us to this point. Chasing Butcher out after a few months seems absurd to me, and completely the wrong thing to do.

Going by rumours on here and from what I've heard elsewhere, Butcher has almost an entire team of signings lined up for the summer to make the changes that he feels need to be made to the players. That work is well advanced with players having come in to see the training ground and set up etc, I'm led to believe. Getting someone in now means they've got to start from scratch and try to patch together a team in the summer. It makes no sense to me to do that.

All very interesting if it turns out to be true but how does any of that have any relevance unless Hibs stay in the SPFL this season so that the income levels can fund the cost of new players capable of getting Hibs into the top third of the SPFL where the prizes might be?

As for bringing in Murray NO THANKS. He's about 10 years to early.

[Hibercelona]

Ian Murray wouldn't come near us at the moment. I think he would much rather have a successful managerial career, as opposed to throwing himself into an impossible situation here. Dealing with the fools above him.

Butcher managed to get an ICT team into the top third of the SPFL on less money than he'll have at Hibs, regardless of the division we're in. In fact, Butcher put together an ICT side in the first division that went (IIRC) on a year long unbeaten run which took them out of that division and established them in the SPL (as it was at that time).

You're thinking of Ross County.

No, I don't think i am, however it was an unbeaten away run I was thinking of.

As part of the push for promotion in the 2009–10 season, Inverness went on an unbeaten away run in the league that continued through the entire 2010 calendar year, culminating in a 1–1 draw against Hearts at Tynecastle on 18 December.[17] This extraordinary sequence ended in defeat at St. Johnstone on 2 January 2011 when the Perth side won by a single goal. At the split, Inverness narrowly missed out on a top six spot, eventually finishing in a club record-equalling 7th place. However, two years later, they would finish even higher.

Fair enough.

Ross County did go on an unbeaten run for over a year though, between August 2011 and September 2012.
