You are mostly wrong to be fair but I agree with you on the Sevco job, once an Orc always an Orc in my opinion
If Butcher does well at Hibs he will be the main man to take over from Sally who can't cut it at the top level
Terry and Mo are taking a risk but they are right to state they are moving to a superior club, whether some of us agree with this or not we have to look at the facts
1. Our stadium is a joke compared to Easter Road, the atmosphere generated at both Edinburgh grounds can be really good compared to our sole less gaff. Both Easter road and Tynecastle are relatively city centre locations that embrace the local communities and bring the punters in. The Caledonian stadium embraces nothing other than the chilling wind from the Moray firth and the waft of turds from the dump
2. Our training facilities are shambolic, for a top club to travel 11miles or so to Fort George is not good enough, it's time our board have a look around Victoria park the next time we are through to see what excellent set up and facilities they have and see if we can possibly replicate something similar or be it maybe on a smaller scale
3. Our fanbase is also shameful, Butcher fired the warnings already he rightly stated this season on more than a few occasions that our home crowd is quiet and pitiful in numbers. It's sad but its true we are second in the SPL and in a semi for a cup yet we can only muster 2000 home fans through the gates. He sussed that the fanbase has now reached its peak at present and I think this was one of the main reasons he jump ship
As usual the happy clappers won't like the above but it's time we all faced up to harsh reality, Terry and Mo have moved to a superior set up and by doing so they are furthering their managerial careers something we all would have done if we were all to be honest
Unless the club change the direction they are going and address the above points they will be more Terry Butcher situations in the future
I just hope the players can carry on like they were albeit without the gaffer but I do see an exodus in January and I'd be very surprised that Terry doesn't come back and raid the club despite what's being said in the press

He knew what he was coming to when he joined, he didn't seem to mind then. Our ground is our ground, it won't change whilst numbers are low. We need to try and turn that to an advantage.
Hibs training facilities are good indeed but are also 11 miles from their ground so distance my arse. Can't say their facilities have done them any good. Ours makes our team have to work harder and be fitter. Do remember most of the facilities in Dingwall are shared.
We all knew he would leave but not in these circumstances. I am pretty certain he will regret it more than us!
