Just listening to Sportsound and there is speculation that Butcher will be the next Motherwell manager. Comment suggests that this is pretty much a done deal.
That would be a boost to our finances. Please be true

Please be true.maybe they feel they didn't sack him properly last time and need another go at it?

They must be mad. He did a decent job there first time around, but he was the worst Hibs manager I've ever seen, even including Calderfud.

He can do a job if he is allowed to get the players with "his" mindset .
Hope he relegates them though.No Eternal Reward Shall Forgive Us Now For Wasting The Dawn

Bringing him in halfway through a season is madness if he is going to behave in a similar way to the way he did here.
If he hasn't changed the only way it could work is if he is brought in at the start of a campaign and allowed to bring in suitable players.
Motherwell would be taking a massive gamble. Better sticking with Black, seeing how it goes and bringing in Butcher, Malpas and Marsella at the immediate end of the season if need be.

Wonder whether Malpas would return to Motherwell with Butcher. He was a disaster in his season in charge there.

Please please please.
Motherwell are a team I could never take to so it would be good to watch him **** them over.
The added bonus is he stops getting a monthly handout from us for **** all.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I'd imagine that everybody at Hibs will have their fingers crossed for this.

No mention of Malpas. It was a news snippet but the response from the guys on the programme suggested it was no surprise. I think the man in the know was Martin Dowden, one of the producers of the show

They really need to bring in Malpas and the super scout/goalie coach extraordinaire Marsella otherwise Butcher might no do as good a job as he did here.
Oh wait.

I really hate that man.
I didn't even hate him when we got relegated and he was still in charge because I wasn't sure who to blame. But since he's been sacked and everything he did has came out in the wash, I really detest him.
God help Motherwell FC.

Butcher is a brilliant manager and an appointment like this is likely to have Motherwell challenging Celtic for many years to come.*
*for the benefit of any Motherwell board members watching this thread.

Playoff. Playoff. Playoff. Playoff. Playoff. Playoff.
Cup win, or promotion by relegating Butcher?

Never mind a taxi, I'll offer him a piggyback all the way there.
Not Marsella though.

Can't see this happening, would like it to happen as it would get him of our wage bill, but no chance this will happen, yes Butcher will want to get back in to football but Motherwell are skint and i think Butcher will sit tight on gardening leave picking up his nice wage until the summer and then try to get back in to football then.
And Motherwell are only looking for a manager, not a management team, Well will go for the young cheap manager option.

Bet you that Rod will scupper the deal because Well won't offer up enough compensation.

Think Andy was being sarcastic, saying good luck in getting job, would get him off our wage bill..... Originally Posted by H18sry

I'm not convinced TBH. A few months before he got emptied from Hibs he was talking about his retirement plans in a Scotsman interview. Originally Posted by silverhibee

Why would Motherwell take that f***wit, having seen how his ridiculous mismanagement of Hibs (and clubs before us) was largely responsible for the playing side of the club disintegrating, and ultimately ending in relegation?
The thing that still amazes me was his record at ICT. Did he just strike it lucky there?

Has it been confirmed anywhere that we're still paying him and this would stop if he joined someone else?

So, for a carlsberg season, we beat QOS in the first playoff, beat the yams in the second playoff, then relegate butchers Motherwell to win promotion, and win the Scottish cup also.
