[RiG]

Big rumours doing the rounds in Girvans today that Man United will make an approach for Butcher and Malpas at the end of the season.

Good luck Terry!

Word is that to rebuild them into a team capable of winning the Champions League, he'll be replacing Rooney with Shane Sutherland.

I've heard that Reguero is to terminate his pre contract with Kilmarnock and replace de Gea.

Was Fergie asked to stand down?

Thus b*ggering up Chelsea's plans of replacing the Interim One with the Special One.

Butcher Declines United Job

 

Inverness Caledonian Thistle has revealed exclusively that thier manager Terry Butcher will not be taking up an offer to take over from retiring Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

A club spokesperson acknowledged that the board had given permission for talks to take place between Terry and the chairman of Manchester United. However those talks broke down when United were unable to meet certain conditions requested by Terry. It is believed that Terry's first move in charge would have been to loan out one or two high profile players to Inverness for next season, something the United board could not agree to. They also failed to agree on the transferance of the scenery between Inverness and Invermoriston claiming that such cross border exchanges were beyond even the powers of the biggest club in world football.

The spokesperson said that although Terry was disappointed that such simple conditions could not be agreed he was happy to have rejected the offer and will now commit the remainder of his career to building an Inverness club to rival that of Manchester United.

Terry himself was unavailable for comment as he was travelling to London to cast an eye over a couple of players in tonights Premier League clash between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. The spokesperson added that there would be no further press releases on the subject as the priority now is to build for the Europa Cup competition.

Had to happen but I thought they were going to wait until the end of next season when Butcher's current contract expires.

 

Not a done deal yet though as Butcher is insisting on inheriting Fergie's wine cellar and United are currently playing hard ball. Could yet prove a deal breaker.

i can't see butcher getting, he doesn't like to work with "that" sort of people, no excitement for him he would prefer the Chelsea job  

[Kingsmills]

This move now looking less likely. Apparently in discussions Butcher was promised that he would get to work with Rooney but it wasn't made clear that they were not referring to Adam.

[starchief]

Apparently, Butcher wanted to go but Malpas turned it down.  Looks as though Chelsea is also off in that case.
