(rumour) Butcher will be sacked

[Steven_Hibs]

On Friday after meeting with Leanne. Not revealing source. As I'm not 100%.

[Scouse Hibee]

So your source has found out on Monday that TB will be sacked on Friday, why the long wait?

Why wait until Friday? If he was to be sacked do it now time isn't really on our side.

[Heisenberg]

No chance IMO.

[smurf]

Was Terry Butcher mentioned in the statement today? I thought it weird he wasn't...

Agree, can't see it ...

[Unseen work]

hes had a horrid start to his hibs career but i really cant see what good it will do sacking him. We all said he need time to turn the club (not just squad) around and to do that he need time and this summer to get a team of players he has confidence in and playing his style. Also a team that respect him and will run through a brick wall for him. Also all they need to do is look at the players they have found before for caley to see he does know how to assemble a winning team

Who would we get to replace him? ian murray? not for me, he is only 33 and is far to big a jump, one which i dont think he would take as he knows the massive pressure he will be under. There not 1 manager out there that i beleive we could realistcally sign that would make us better

[lord bunberry]

If he hadn't been allowed to release all those players last week I would find it much easier to believe any rumours about him being sacked, as things stand I find it impossible to believe that he would be allowed to make that call then be sacked.

I'd be shocked but not surprised. Petrie might use it to try stop folk going to the rally.

it'll not stop me going tho.

petrie out.

[Aldo]

I think that if he was going to be sacked he would of went by now!!!

You never know tho it is Hibs after all

I agree.

There has been absolutely no mention of Butcher in any of the club statements post relegation. Additionaly, aside from his immediate post match interview, there has been nothing at all from Butcher himself. Appreciate he may just be away on his hols but I still thought his predeliction for media relations would have seen him feature in some way. Strange.

Even if TB does go the real problem will remain, he'll just have seen out another one of his **** ups. See you there.

If TB is sacked the compo will cripple us financially. We will be left with next to nothing to put together a squad for next season.

The upside is that we will be able to harp on constantly about our 'young colts' when Alloa beat us, and fill the media with lamentations about how well our kids are standing up to the challenge (if they do).

[Cropley10]

Only any good if:

1.It costs us nothing or next to nothing - maybe Malpas is guilty of Gross Misconduct

2. We've got a replacement manager lined up, immediately.

3. Replacement manager knows what's required from a playing staff perspective.

Likelihood of this happening are therefore very slim, but not impossible.

TB needs a chance to bring in his players and see what he does with his team. Hibs need to keep a manager at least 2 seasons. The club needs stability at this time. If there was a very wealthy benefactor who was going to gift our club millions of pounds then perhaps a change might succeed.

That's the soonest that she can meet with Butcher to discuss future plans/proposals. He's on hols. This will help with stopping the protest!

Butcher had a chance to bring in players in January. He's been an unmitigated disaster and should already have been sacked. If getting hibs relegated from the position we were in when he took over isn't a stackable offence I'd love to know what is.

When's the next AGM again? The latest patsy to appease the masses (although admittedly if he does go, he will arguably have contributed to his own demise more than other recent managers have). Just a rumour though....so we'll have to wait and see.

[Bobby's Cinema]

I hope he goes. But surely this would only indicate further crazy mismanagement, if the wrong man has been allowed to shape the squad through releasing players who might have otherwise stayed.

Oh FFS, almost all the jibes at Hibs that I've read so frequently on JKB over the years rolled into one.

When have hibs or anybody else in our market made a great signing in January? You're looking at players with potential at bit clubs or players who've not set the heather alight at lower clubs. I can only remember us signing one decent player in January in recent years - sparky. And even he didn't settle immediately.

Not quite the players he wanted. The Jan TW is not an easy window to bring in quality players. In any case we can not afford to sack him. If we could sack him we will find it V difficult to bring in a quality manager.

TB is going nowhere IMO. And I'm glad.

In my opinion. Someone needs to take the bullet over relegation. 1 win in 19 games (2 in 21) is a sackable offence IMO. It's a way to get the fans onside with Leanne. And onside in general

He didn't need to sign great players in January all he needed to do was sign a couple of players good enough to keep us away from the relegation battle that we weren't even involved in in January.
