We may have done ourselves a favor getting beat today!. John Hughes is on a sticky wicket at Falkirk, the board backed him this week (usually a bad sign!!) but as long as they are in the Cup, surely the Falkirk board will have to stick by him... He has lost the plot, I'm far less worried about a Hughes, Falkirk side fighting to stay up than if they got rid this week appoint a new man and get a new manager bounce. Graham

I thought the time to punt players was in a transfer window...!! G

Aye, but Hearts were playing a defender as a striker that match!

I don't think "style" is down to Butcher, he said in a recent interview that Malpas takes responsibility for tactics and he (TB) does the PR & Interviews

Bit of a worry as Butcher said all players start with a clean sheet. So he may feel the need to give Lionel a chance especially since the LB position proves a problem today. After all it's not like Lionel dosen't look the part.

Buy the stadium !! How are they going to do that??? with what, who will lend??

El Tel is Terry Venables not Terry Butcher or indeed Terry Wogan , the El bit coming from his time managing in Spain!

According to certain Motherwell fans on P&B, Foran has a bit of a reputation... lets hope TB can keep him away from wine, women and song.. and focused on football.

source? Marty, if you'd been eagle eyed you'd have seen Brian on tv at the training ground Was also mentioned in one of the papers cannot remember which one?? Prob P&J.

I heard that too....

grampian news says its a loan,and i presume there more reliable than wiki www.lcfc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10274~1539678,00.html How about Leicester City website saying he's been released.??

Don't think so Wiki says: "Having returned from an unsuccessful loan spell at Brentford, Odhiambo had his Leicester contract terminated by mutual consent on January 30, 2009, having never played a league game for the club"

Foran a risk but has cut it at this level before. Eric Odhiambo was at Brentford on loan and played a whole 8mins. Looking at his stats has he ever scored a goal at any level? Hope TB knows something we don't, hope he was banging them in for reserves and was ready to step up.

Ah, that will be why I hadn't noticed "no-one pays any attention" Aside from this, I was been a touch cynical in this thread about Butcher plagurising David Bowie. Lets just hope he's not a Stranglers fan too!!! Cos if things go wrong, will the soundbite be "No More, Heroes Anymore"

We loaned a Polish keeper last season. In a similar somewhat cynical move by our board to encourage our large local Polish community along to our matches. Unfortunately, he wasn't a safe pair of hands. G

Na, think we went cos he heard they had a gap that needed filling.

Just a thought!! A new era needs a new mascot. With Terry coming up with the "We can be Heroes" slogan, soundbite, to encourage all! Wouldn't it be fitting to have a new mascot, can I propose a "Dolphin" called Snecky.. instead of that mingy moggie Icat. Ahhh, hemm.... So we can swim, like dolphins can swim right back off the bottom of the SPL. G

Welcome Terry ! "We Can Be Heroes" We Believe! Graham

P&J has Cowie down in Watford today agreeing personal terms. We have been offered some money to let him go now, no idea how much paper just said under ?50 000. Could be a tenner or 49k!! Graham

Todays P&J he says he will play them. Perhaps a bit of a u-turn, or perhaps a reality check having watched the squad in training.

Thank you Brentford fans for your input. Lets hope we get the Motherwell Butcher and not the Brentford one. Is the Red Lion still the great music venue it was in the 90's and does anyone remember "Casual Affair" the band fronted by my good mate and Brentford fan Mark Colton.

According to Charles Bannerman's 8pm radio Scotland news broadcast. Butcher has been offered the job and will be intouch with the club today to say yes/no. The board require him to relocate to Inverness and contract terms etc have to be sorted. Clear as Mud!! Strange to announce this, wouldn't it be better to wait till accepted and tied up before announcement? Graham

Marius scored a cracker on his debt. Cannot remember who is was against. Think it was a friendly.

He was never Aberdeens manager, he was assistant, left and came back as assistant. Dundee 01-08-1984 31-05-1986 14 6 4 4 22 pts from 14 games that would be enough to keep us up.

I had a dream last night, Sutherland was standing on the centre spot the board were around him in a circle and the PA was playing Metallica's "Master of Puppets".
