As much as the board have taken so much stick this year, some very rightly so in my opinion, I have to say they played a gem of a mindtrick with Butcher's contract. I think it helped Butcher focus solely on the league and not to have to worry about next year. The players appeared to then fight that bit more knowing Butcher was going to stay and it appeared they had that belief in him. I disagree with some things the board has done but I think on this occasion they deserve some credit

(I know i'll get shot down for praising them, but if your going to point out someone's faults then you also must point out what they have done well)

From now on we are one Club and enter the SPL again all going in the right direction. It is right to offer praise to the Board. They will have taken the justified criticism on the chin.

credit where it is due and criticism where it is due ..... on this occasion the credit is well deserved and lets hope that is something we can say more often .....

Indeed Scotty - sums it up perfectly....

Let's hope the next success is the players' contracts
