Best wishes to the new manager. Though his overall managerial record is not the best he did very well at Motherwell after they went into administration.

What does concern me is that he has not resigned his Scotland post. Surely the job here is massive and demands one hundred per cent of his efforts. By staying with Scotland he is only creating a rod for his own back.

If we get beat after a Scotland game he will get slaughtered.

I remember Alex Miller doing the same at Aberdeen and that ended it tears. (Was it a dream or did he really sit beside Benitez in the dugout)

So come on Terry give Scotland a miss and you will have more chance of success.

I suppose one of the reasons Butcher has joined us is that by the end of 2009 there's a fair chance that Burley and he won't have their Scotland jobs.

I wonder if his commitment to this new position is really appreciated when I read rubbish on here.

On the Setanta interview last night, he even stated that his Scotland job would not have stood in his way, when considering ICT.

He was so committed in the interview he left the studio guests scratching their heads. On the Scotland position they saw no problem that the two back up staff, Elvis and TB are now both full time employees, as the 'few days' the Scotland job takes up will not be a problem for them or their club work.

TB discussed the 'good life' he had with his two positions but was prepared to give it all up as he wanted back into management.

He, I would suggest, on the evidence of last nights interview, has more face to lose by being unsuccessful than ICT.

I don't know about Malpas but he looks and sounds a winner.

Looks can be deceptive, however it's a clean slate here.
