KingBeastie

Most of Chelsea players have been to the World cup and are as fit as butchers dogs

His dog is only fit as he's got all that time to walk him while on his "gardening leave."

That's all.

If my Uncle had a fanny he'd be my Aunt.

Which charities are benefiting?

Has this question been answered?

Hopefully he's using the time to write memoirs about his time as ICT / Hibs manager, that would be a cracking read.

I agree, although he'd undoubtedly word it to make himself look good.

John Hughes should be sacked over this shambles. 

The Andrews sisters?

He can barely speak a word of english 

Like me after a good away day.

Don't judge me.

As long as it's red n blue stripes when it comes along all is good.

As you were. 

£10 million I reckon.

And some good quality stationery.

Or at least a novelty pencil case.

Ladies?  In Renfrew?  

If you look purely at his record as Hibs manager he wasn't that bad.  Not necessarily a roaring success but not the abject failure that Hibs fans would have you believe.  Hibs fans wanted him out and refused to be swayed on that.  He quit because he had no chance, the fans wanted him out at all costs.  Look where that's got them!

I think we are a lot better of with JH than Fat Penlon but not saying he couldn't do a job with us or any other Scottish club.

He also looks like Penfold.

I find it crazy that people are saying that it was a mistake to get rid of TB.

Yes he got us promoted and did a good job as ICT manager.

But...

Just look at his record at Hibs.  They are playing in the first division next season FFS!  When he took over they were, along with a good few other teams, in the running for a European spot.  One win in 19 games.  Relegated.  His recored at Hibs is simply atrocious.  The Hibs fans will never be able to trust him.  A clean slate will be a good thing for Hibs and I expect in 2 or 3 seasons to see a vastly improved and superior Hibs team.  I certainly hope so - I quite like Hibs!

A little off topic, but I get the feeling this Leeann Dempster is starting to believe her own hype. As far as I'm aware she has no football experience or coaching credentials, but she's popping up on the news and in the papers talking about her 'football plans' for Hibs. Another egomaniac bureaucrat interfering in the background, exactly what Hibs need. Terry Butcher may be a former Uefa Cup winner, England Captain, Scotland assistant manager, and one of the most successful SPL managers in recent years - "but ah know better, ciz ah used tae run Motherwell like." Motherwell's recent purple patch obviously had nothing to do with Stuart McCall or their strong nucleus of experienced players. It was all down to Leeann.

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see Hibs relegated again next season.

I'd like to think it's not intentional and just the way the written word is read but this does come across with a tone of sexism in it.

LD did her job well at M'well and in the background.  Joining Hibs has made her higher profile and she's been asked to do a role with a higher profile as Petrie intends to step back, this just means we are hearing more of and from her - not that she is "starting to believe her own hype".

The only person in this sorry tale who believed their own hype were the three stooges who left ICT.

I really can't stop grinning like an idiot at this.

I'm in Leith right now too!

(I think I was here when he was officially appointed too)

Now... let's just sit back and wait for the dons fans to register on the site just to tell us it must've been an aberdeen angus steak that he had.

Apparently Graeme had a steak for dinner one evening while on his holiday.

I've no idea why someone would want to pretend to be me in any capacity to be honest!

P&B does my head in, every thread just ends up in insults and abuse.

Somebody posts on there as "The KingBeastie" or similar (my username on P&B is just KingBeastie).  I believe it's someone who was banned or went in a huff from here.  It's not me and I've no idea why someone would want to pretend to be me in an online capacity!

Still I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!  

Oops.  Fixed it for  you Kingsmills.

(pedantic git!) 

Thanks Yngwie!

Over there.  There by the stair.

Although I do agree with that Alex, Russell did manage his country's national team, that's higher profile than managing Falkirk.

He heard it from Gary Locke?
