Unfortunately, I didn't have the faith of wilsononourwing

I couldn't blame Butcher for getting us relegated and thought he made a good attempt of keeping us in the SPL but after releasing 2 of our most promising youngsters, taking on a handful of untested foreigners with 1 year contracts and only committing himself to the end of the season I was far from convinced. The point where I lost faith and thought we should look for a replacement was before the 2nd league encounter with Dundee:

Dee day for Butcher

Since then it's all gravy. Butcher signed a new contract, we haven't been beaten for 15 games, scored more goals and conceded less than any team in the division, sit top of the table and beat C*unty 3-0.

Was there a point this season where you wanted Tel to step down/leave, if so, when was it?

... or are you still not convinced??

I had big doubts about Terry and June, based mainly on past record coupled with the distraction of the Scotland job and I agree, since that has been taken away it is no coincidence that our fortunes have changed. I also agree that it is personal for Butcher - like (or perhaps even more than) the players, there is always one eye on what else is out there and where next to progress a career, and football like many other industries is one where you are only as good as your last job.

Butcher will be looking to add promotion to the SPL on first attempt as a major qualification on his CV. Question is, will he stay with us once we move up or will the next Rangers / Celtic (nae likely but . . .) / Aberdeen / Hearts etc etc vacancy tempt him away - or even move to the English leagues?

Reading this thread I'm reminded of THIS ONE
