The defeat at Pittodrie 3 months ago was at the End of a period of fantastic early season form. Here`s hoping the win on Saturday at Pittodrie is the Start of another fantastic run.

Signing a pre - contract agreement doesn`t mean he is certain to join another club, does it ??

Definitely, OR Motherwell or Inverness Caley Thistle

Plenty fans stayed away under Butcher when we were `slipping` UP the league !!

Not having Foran dictates that some changes do have to be thought of. Just finding the right ones to make in the right games is what John Hughes has to deal with now!

Just to comment on one point. Raven is being left out because Graeme Shinnie is a revelation at right back!

As long as your scoring !

who cares ! ?

Is that what we were demanding from Butcher, 2nd place & a cup final ! I must have missed that one. I think success for Yogi will be to do as good as last season, maybe better.

Don't know if mentioned before but IF Yogi was appointed at the time Butcher was, who`s to say he wouldn't have been a success. I didn't think that Butcher was a good move at the time but it worked out. He will be more experienced than TB was.

Can we all just sing at tomorrows game ``theres only one Paul Hartley`` that should solve the problem !

Yes Maurice, you will get your picture taken too, just step up onto Pat Fenlons box ta!

Think Raven should start, he was missed in the 4-0 defeat in Perth & give Williams a try instead of Watkins. Brill Raven Meekings Warren Shinnie Doran Foran Ross Draper Wiliams Mackay not necessarily in this 4-6-0 formation subs Esson Greenhalgh Devine Watkins Tremarco Pepper Polworth

In todays Daily Record Butcher is saying he can afford M&S cakes for his players AND NOT JUST Tesco ones he bought at Inverness, CRINGE

Source Tyronne Smith stv = well done Richie, just the type of news to boost the club.

Seems to becoming a popular choice. Aberdeen have McInnes, Dun Utd have McNamara, Killie have Johnston,all young managers with ambition & potential to reach the top of the game, no reason why we cant give the gig to Hartley?

Did John Hartson not apply or was on a short list last time round. Seeing his name cropping up now. He would have many contacts throughout the game and teams he has been with & also with a bit of media career.

Just heard Foran on BBC Scotland radio doing a live phone interview. He was excellent ,So very positive in every way. Said players were given 5 days off but they didn't want that so came they back to train hard a day early. They motivate themselves every day but altho they would miss TB well` that's football` & they look forward to the next chapter on their journey. Told the board not to rush but to take time to get a new man in as he promised the players would work hard & be ready for the next game. WELL SAID RICHIE

Larsson, with Foran assistant

Better correct myself there, not saying Larsson is better than Levein not having much experience etc but Larsson with potential fills me with more confidence!

There must be someone out there better than Levein, and NONE of the above named for me wheres Larsson?

I`m getting a bit worried for TB , whats he think he`s doing , he`ll never turn Hibs around ,it took 3/4 years for a bit of success up here

DARN IT ! Terrys staying until 31st December (on the caley thistle 2013 calendar in the bedroom!)

He`s on the sic, an old head injury flares up from time to time, rendering him insane, thinks he`s a pre- Madonna or something

I would now prefer to move on & get a new manager in. The international break after Saturdays game means a week or two to do this. If TB was thinking of staying we would know by now. By all means let him now go & fail because that's what I think will happen. If Malpas prefers to stay on as manager with a good No2 fine or if he wants to stay as our No2 with somebody else in charge ok. (He may be closer to the players than TB?!)
