This is realy cool IMO and not a hint of any gers connection. :thumb04:

The flatmate of someone Caley Stan and I were at the game with apparently went to school with Butcher's son. The guy came out for a pint with us later and texted someone he said was Butcher jnr to ask what his dad's attitude to the ICT job was. He got a reply saying something along the lines of Tel not wanting the job because the club was too much of a mess at the moment. I didn't mention in it my earlier posts because I couldn't be 100% sure it was a true source, but I don't think the guy we were with had any reason to be talking bullsh!t. Assuming the text was genuinely from a Butcher, we still don't know whether Butcher jnr really knows what his dad is thinking, or whather El Tel could be persuaded to change his mind. I'd still be quite keen on him. Sure it wasn't Frank Butcher?

The big movers from this morning's odds seem to be Knox 8/1 to 9/4 and Sutton 14/1 to 13/2 with the biggest mover Malpas (this one is worrying) from 22/1 to 12/1....and Ardiles has been shortened further from 2/1 to 7/4....somebody must be laying big money somewhere.... Still none the wiser though.... :thumb04: Has Grassa been seen in the bookies by any chance!

Have you not moved on yet? The team is known as CALEY so just accept it

Is this in the ball park for what you are after? Stll the No1 IMO

That being the case, Shearer is a cert for assistant.

10CC for director of football anyone??? While not a bad shout I dont see how a club of our size needs both a manager and a DOF, Levin manages to combine both at Dundee United and seems to do ok Now we are talking some sence. Manager: Butcher, Ass Manager: Shearer, Head Coach: Christie. The money we paid Brewster and the salary to our DofF would cover the 3 and give us a real chance of being a PL Club- not just a PL Team.

Well done CD, glad to see someone has their eyes open at long last.

Doesn't surprise me, probably just did it to be like everyone else and anyway. Wonder who he takes that from then?

Robbo & Duncan Shearer for me

I wonder if they were infact Brewsters signings? More to the point, we need an early appointment as Grassa is NOT capable of managing a PL team.

Things are now so bad, it seems drastic action is required. If the board won't sack him maybe the shareholders should call an EGM and show a vote of no confidence in the board. Let's see who they want to save, themselves or our club!

Register him for care in the "Kingsmills" Nursing Home - he will be next door to Grassa and the Heathmount.

Like last time you mean? No I mean this time ! Hope so but I doubt it.

This scheme really is old hat. For those who can remember, ICT were the first to operate exactly the same scheme as far back as 1996 but when Sutherland took over, it was scrapped as being a waste of time. However, it now seems that it is some BRILLIANT new idea born in the south. The scheme worked at ICT but we were dealing with much smaller attendances. Nice to see that the kids will benefit once again.

He always had a high opinion of himself and I will be very surprised if he gets a peg at Clyde. He really isn't "tough" enough to play at a decent level and it surprised a lot of people when he was retained after U19 level.

So would I, very smart indeed Can't wait for a new blue home shirt tho :thumb04:

Spot on.

Everyone to their own opinion but I watched him since he was 17 and I haven't seen him make a tackle yet! Too much of a poser and far too slow.

If SP joined us it probably wouldn't have taken him long to see through his bosses. Brewster AND Grassa probably quietly relieved.

Elgin website says Kerr is talking to Clyde but John Brown is no fool! Rory is very much talk but it would not surprise me in the slightest if true.

Spot on CaleyD - just the job!

Kerr and Rory released. Anyone hear anything?

Look folks - no matter what you think of the man, he is paid a very fat salary for the role he performs. He should be judged on various football aspects some of which are as follows: Team performance Sound connections UK wide to source players (agents, scouts, opposite numbers at other clubs etc) Selection of Team Manager Performance of Team Manager Player Contracts Transfers In and Out Youth Development I would presume his line manager is the Chairman who should be constantly monitoring his performance (not as Sutherland did, just letting him have a free role because he had no ineterest/knowledge) Make your own minds up as to his performance and future!

Thanks Charles.
