With 36 games to go, Derek has started with three compelling excuses:

 

'Defeat (2-1) not fair result' ,

 

'we are obviously disappointed that they have beaten us 4-0',

 

'individual mistakes were the difference between Ross County and Kilmarnock' ................beaten 2-1 again.

 

Who thinks next week it will be 'Dundee United edged it because they were smarting from their thrashing at Celtic Park'?

 

 

Early odds from McBookie.com: 

• 3/1 Danny Lennon
• 6/1 Terry Butcher, Ian Murray
• 8/1 Gary Locke
• 10/1 Neale Cooper
• 12/1 Grant Munro, Kenny Shiels, George Burley
• 16/1 David Weir
• 20/1 Colin Cameron.

I'd hate them to appoint someone we might actually like!.

 

Terry Butcher would be perfect.  Then we could remind him on a regular basis of how we felt about the way he left us.

Lennon, Butcher and Locke would all be decent choices for county.  Intrigued by Grant Munro at 12/1.  Can't see that happening - but maybe he'll come as Butcher's deputy?

Word is Dougie McGillivry  who put a lot of money into the club was causing unrest in the County boardroom

may have had a bit to do with the dismissals!

Arrogant, deluded, ignorant, biased, hypocritical, in denial, petty, bitter, greetin, ill tempered seethe. I have no sympathy for him

Wow, club statement at 10.06

 

So I beat their announcement by 2 minutes then! Yeah, I kind of meant that but never made it clear:whistle:

My best memory of him was the comic "seething" reaction when we equalised to make it 3-3 in the cup tie at Dingwall.

 

Agreed.  There was also the time he was barged to the ground by Jamie Hammill.

 

Can we get some video clips please, just for old times sake? A Derek Adams tribute compilation, if you like.

You really mean this though, don't you http://meemsy.com/v/5592

Oh go on then

 

2 years on and a few lines are still applicable : "They're going for the treble and we're fighting relegation!"

Intrigued by Grant Munro at 12/1.  Can't see that happening - but maybe he'll come as Butcher's deputy?

 

yeah, thats the one that caught my eye too ... Has Grant  done his coaching badges? seems strange to be listed so high in the odds .... would have thought the likes of Barry Wilson or Robbo would feature in the odds ... sure the front runner odds will sort out over the coming days ....

 

 

in the meantime ....

 

 

Also gotta love this olde thread on Hibs.net that popped up when you google 'Derek Adams Seethe' ...... 
 
Post 39: "He`s like the mongrel offspring of Kenny Shiels and David Ikce . Worked with Calderwood enough said.Total fruitloop"

Post 75: "... one of the young lads at RC around about the time they got promoted said that Adams was a total weirdo and ridiculously intense at all times. Said that most of the squad just laughed at him behind his back. Easy to see why"

They come from near Strathpeffer

They're never beat, not ever

There's not a team that's better

The Adams Family

Goodbye Derek. There will never be a hate figure quite like you. Butcher for County!

I believe it will be Christie and Foran as their next dream team. 

There can't be many managers who get sacked after a win!

 

They sacked Dick Campbell when he had them top of the league.

Terry butcher would be great for the rivalry for the area but he's currently employed by Hibs isn't he ?

I imagine the ability to "seethe" under pressure a major requirement for the job!

Oh I dont know ..... Adams and his seethe or Nelly Cooper crying in a layby on the A9 (allegedly) ......

shouldnt that be unemployed by Hibs .... at least until his gardening leave is over

Re TB .......many a word spoken in jest.

 

I wonder how desperate he really is at this point?

 

How the mighty has fallen.

 

Figures!

Remember folks, County Fans are real people too....

 

As a sign of goodwill I would wish to provide a pictorial means of advice to all gudgies:

Butcher and McGregor together?!?!

Oh boy - I'd love that to happen, we all know how that'd end!

 

 

 

This is brilliant from Scotty's post:

"Get back in your flower pot derek ya rubber faced weasel"

     

 

If Butcher were to be given the job, and knowing what football's like with it's sense of timing and fate, his first game in charge would inevitably be the Highland derby in Inverness!

Personally, after Butcher dismissal by Hibs and the manner of their demise, I assumed that Butcher would be unlikely to be a candidate for managerial jobs for some time - particularly in Scotland.

 

I'm not paying much attention to the Bookies odds - it's one area where they don't have any real idea and it's usually just speculation. Just look at our appointment of Hughes!

Indeed, their 'sack race' odds are just guess-work. They don't know what's going on behind the scenes at clubs.

 

Just recently on this forum there was indignation at the bookies having Hughes as 3rd favourite manager for the next sacking - Derek Adams was considered 2nd SAFEST at the time!!! There's more to his sacking than just results I'm sure.

 

I would welcome Terry back into Scottish football, even at our local rivals. He's undeniably a bigger 'name' than Danny Lennon.

But Terry needs to remember that he wouldn't be getting the house at Abriachan this time - and Dingwall is a far cry from Loch Ness side!

Only a true narcissist would seek such a situation. It would provide mega ammunition to express all the aspects of the personality and to take a real centre stage.

If he goes to the tinks it will end in tears.

I suspect Team Butcher would do a very good job for them.

 

Took over at ICT when we were bottom of the SPL and dire, built a new team on a shoestring budget, took us to two semi-finals, our first ever Top 6, a bawhair away from Europe, and left us second top of the league.

 

County are a very similar club.
