IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER

I know that Butcher is staying but why isn't he taking charge tomorrow at Easter Road ? Why did he turn up at the stadium when he knew that the press were there ? Why doesn't he just say summat to end all the speculation ? P.S. I know the answers.

There is no finer grass than that sold on the streets of Leith

The one where the grass looks greener.

Best thread in feckin years You have got to be one to know one

There is a real sense of irony / déjà vue ?!! What's the tune to that, IHE? Sunshine on Leith mixed in with the Northern Lights of Aberdeen

BUT - BOTTOM LINE - TERRY BUTCHER IS STILL OFFICIALLY THE MANAGER OF INVERNESS CALEDONIAN THISTLE AND IS BEING PAID TO DO THAT - HE SHOULD THEREFORE BE IN CHARGE OF THE TEAM TOMORROW AND SITTING IN THE DUGOUT.

There is a real sense of irony / déjà vue ?!!

Perhaps he isn't there to save embarrassment to Hibs ?

He still could !! And why then make a rather public and exceedingly speculative appearance. Yo don't suppose that he is actually enjoying the attention ?

A delusion is an unshakable belief in something untrue. These irrational beliefs defy normal reasoning, and remain firm even when overwhelming proof is presented to dispute them. Delusions are often accompanied by hallucinations and/or feelings of paranoia, which act to strengthen confidence in the delusion. Delusions are distinct from culturally or religiously based beliefs that may be seen as untrue by outsiders. ;) Don't know where you got that from but it is rubbish. TB has delusions of grandeur but isn't paranoid or experiencing hallucinations. Neither are they becos he is English, born in Signapore and Protestant.

Are you Butcher in Disguise ? Invisible Ink, Invisible Ink - Duncan And Pele - Invisible Ink.

It is going to cause uproar when TB tells everybody that he has decided to stay at ICT. This must be a narcissistic heaven. I bet he is practising the look for the announcement that the furore of the plea for him to stay has got to him emotionally.

OR USE THE CLEAVER TO SHOW AN ALTERNATIVE EMOTION

Surely a narcissist only has respect for themselves. According to Alan Downs, corporate narcissism occurs when a narcissist becomes the leader (CEO) or a member of the senior management team and gathers an adequate mix of codependents around him (or her) to support the narcissistic behavior. Narcissists profess company loyalty but are only really committed to their own agendas, thus organizational decisions are founded on the narcissist's own interests rather than the interests of the organization as a whole, the various stakeholders, or the society in which the organization operates.[7] As a result, "a certain kind of charismatic leader can run a financially successful company on thoroughly unhealthy principles for a time. But... the chickens always come home to roost", according to the self-help book by Robin Skynner and comedian John Cleese in Life and how to survive it.[8] Neville Symington has suggested that "one of the ways of differentiating a good-enough organisation from one that is pathological is through its ability to exclude narcissistic characters from key posts."[9]

As Simon Crompton once said to me " Johndo, I have been able to distinguish between what we call "productive narcissists" in comparison with "unproductive narcissists".Maccoby acknowledged that "productive narcissists still tend to be over-sensitive to criticism, over-competitive, isolated, and grandiose," but considerethat "what draws them out is that they have a sense of freedom to do whatever they want rather than feeling constantly constrained by circumstances," and that through their charisma they are able to "draw people into their vision, and produce a cohort of disciples who will pursue the dream for all it's worth."

If Terry is not in the ICT dugout tomorrow that will only mean one thing. He slept in and missed the bus? He will not be in the dugout tomorrow out of narcissistic respect to both teams and both sets of fans.

Perhaps he was looking at it from a different slant. You can't takeaway that from him. I suggest that you both curry favour with each other.
