The club have objected to this. I believe they, and CIT, are looking at what can be done transport wise.

I don't think so tbh Alex as he's overage. He did tell someone on twitter that the overage players are having to take turns in the U20s to get games. Agree re Conor tho... My mistake re. Curtis

I just wish every thread that mentions the B word would fall of the bottom of the page.

I'm sure Curtis Allen was brought in specifically for U-20 squad. Conor has been on the bench the last couple of games. We also have to remember that we are running a very successful U-20 squad, who are working very hard to stay at the top of that league, and it would be very wrong to expect those lads to play twice a week.

200k for a striker that cant strike.

SHEERIN & WILSON

SHEERIN & WILSON

There's no sense whatsoever in the choice of venue for both semi's but thats how it is so lets make the most of it. Also remember that Hibs fans never stole Butcher so we should be nice to them in hope some will turn up at the game and boost our crowd and the takings.

Nichol is a decent coach but I see him out of a job once again.

Fekkin hell this tie is tight

Alex McLeish??

I wonder how many of our squad feel exactly the same way about Butcher and how he left as our ex chairman does.

Only if your just a simple cook. If your a master baker you create the cake without the recipe and using what ingredients are available.

No ta!! Would have to take too much of a drop in wages. Besides I'm making it my quest to find out who abducted your alias. What was it anyway?............Terry Butcher??

Agree with ubern. £150 a year is pretty steep.

I keep reading that the Bookies favourite is Levein yet on searching all the sites I cant find odds. I want to put my cash on Peanut

Because the host website 'VIMEO' is American

Nice bit of photoshop but not particularly funny

Tis actually illegal to park on a pavement. Also p!sses me off but if you want to do it and I want to walk by pushing a pram. I will not move onto the road. Instead I'll squeeze past and if the pram leaves scratch marks then oops!! Hope your business isn't too badly affected when the privatised Royal mail put the prices up Laurence. After all they'll need to make 5% of turnover into profit to satisfy their shareholders. Just like the utility companies do.

Ach well, he's gone now. That era is over a new one now begins. Time to move on and let this thread fall of the page.

Has Foran got coaching badges to allow him the helm? Larsson??? His one foray as manager ended in a relegation fight. he's been away from Scotland too long to be able to walk in and take over a top flight team. Levein in my opinion plays a different style to what we have and would probably fekk us up. If I was on the board at TCS I'd suggest talking Charlie and Duncs into the job till end of season. They know the players and the style of football so should be able to provide continuity. Failing that, or instead of that, I'd look to bringing in a couple of former players. Players who put their heart and soul into the club when they played for us. Sheerin and Wilson between them could, I think, continue the work B&M started.

Personally I wouldnt want Levein. His style of play is not ours and I think he'd mess up what we have in place. Dont know too much about Sturrock. I've already suggested McInnaly but another I wouldnt mind is Yogi Hughes. He done well at Falkirk and was trying to do good at Hibs but didn't get the chance. He likes on the ground football and did have a young Hibs team playing good football. They just weren't getting the results. There are also one or two out there with ICT in their hearts who could maybe do a job for us. Barry Wilson. Paul Sheerin could be another shout. At the end of the day our board has never failed in its management selection. (apart from the once we took someone on for a second stint)

Dont think we have a Director of Football Was he not quoted as saying to one of the papers that he'd be here till the end of season. Its easy to feel bitter by whats gone on over the last few days but I think we should give credit where its due. We always knew Butcher would be taken away from us. Indeed many on here linked him to every vacancy that arose over the last couple of years. He has, however, left a legacy. He has shown that, even with small budgets, a team of our status can reach the dizzy hieghts of Scottish Football. We can all believe that anythings possible. We fear no team. We know we can beat any team. We know we can achieve all we want to achieve. The secret now is to continue to achieve. Butcher gave ICT the team. Butcher gave the fans the belief. Lets all get together and show the world that ICT can continue to be a force without Butcher.

Bauhaus From article: Each of the 32 teams in the group phase of the Champions League currently receive a participation payment of around £7m and £396,000 for every match played in the group stages. The winners get more than £30m in total. All the clubs, be it Celtic or Man U get the same amount for participation in group stages. The extra comes from the games played in k.o. stages Dont know what Europa league gets. BT are paying a lot more than Sky/ITV were prepared to pay but I dont know what they paid last time so not able to work out how much more they may get and bear in mind it also goes to Europa League teams and theres the amount that goes to the other teams in the participating clubs league. That should also increase proportionately.

To re-iterate DD's last paragraph Celtic, to all intents and purposes, are out of Europe. I don't believe they even have a chance at Europa so they will have no distractions and so will concentrate all efforts into breaking away from the rest. We need to concentrate on our game and keep following them
