A couple of papers are carrying the story that Hibs want Butcher as their new boss. Can't see it myself but it has gone quiet on the contract extension front...

Working with the great Owain Tudur Jones again was too much to resist

Can we please try to avoid discussing potential new managers on this thread please, there is a separate one running for that very purpose.

 

If Terry had gone to Barnsley in the Championship he would have left with the best wishes of every fair minded ICT fan.

 

As it is now, he can ** **** *******.

my feelings exactly! As far as im concerned..he is desserting us....so............as yngwie says.............

 

 

he can "go past Kinross" on his way to Leith, is obviously what I was suggesting

Paddy Power haven't closed their book yet and still have Butcher @ 2/7. I've just stuck £100 on fully expecting the 'odds no longer available' message. A 'free' £28 win but merely a crumb of comfort!

Would be permanent to end of season then new contract in summer if it goes ok not many jobs have 9 months or so security which us what he would have at least

The Courier are reporting that Butcher has had no contact with Hibs and has not agreed terms!

 

Terry Butcher is STILL in the building (for now).

WE CAN TRUST THE GOOD OL COURIER

Can Butcher even agree terms without Hibs speaking to ICT first?

Just saw the Courier tweet. Would definitely take that as a credible source. 

ICT just posted a job vacancy story: http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/1086-job-vacancies-at-ictfc

Can someone please find out what the feck is going on???

I need to know who the feck to shout and swear at on Saturday!

Sneckboy now bricking it over his "easy money" £100 bet!

sky sports saying no contact has been made to ICT from Hibs for TB

I would speculate Hibs may have agreed key terms (salary, contract length, jobs for the backroom team) with a representative of Terry, and then they've chosen to leak the story.

 

Same happened with Hayes being announced as signing for Aberdeen, the player denying it, and then going there anyway.

Maybe they have agreed terms etc with Butcher but as they need to go through the club first and ask for permission Butcher is obviously going to say there has been no contact so that it looks like it is being done properly.

 

Fully expect him to leave

would suggest if TB makes a public statement saying this is not true and he is not leaving for Hibs then that is that

if not , why not

 

If he does go in a couple of years he will be out like the rest of them
 

I do hope he stays but if he is to go say now

Mo MUST be staying because the club have just sent an email this afternoon saying that he'll be hosting ICT's Christmas Quiz night!

 

But then it also says "Team of 4: £20" which clearly anticipates Hibs inevitable January signing raid.

Just had a look on William Hills there, they've stopped taking bets for the next Hibs boss.

were they taking them in the first place though? I could only see paddy power, sky bet and coral.

Statement from the club coming out shortly via the clubs twitter.

Club statement: http://ictfc.com/news/club-news/1089-statement-from-ictfc

 

 

"We are extremely unhappy about a story on the BBC Scotland website in relation to our manager. Wherever this has come from, it is completely untrue.

"There has been no approach to this club for Terry Butcher's services and we look forward to him continuing the excellent job he has been doing in Inverness..

I`m still not convinced- will wait to hear it from the horses mouth!

 

 

The horse has neigh bolted !
