Really. Could you maybe ressurect it then cos I'd love to respond. I did try searching all your posts to see if I could find it but gave up after a while.

Butcher, Malpas and Marsella are a team and I dont think they'll be split up. I dont believe any one of them will be successful without the others.

I dont need to go to Wiki. I can find all I need to know on this site. Of the 17 SPL games in 08/09 5 were draws. For the first three months of the following season we drew 4. So in the 35 games of the first six months of Terry's reign we drew 9 and lost 10. And County didnt beat us in that period. Methinks you set your sights for sucess so high that the vision is blurred.

That's simply not true. Sydney had won both the A League Championship the season before under a possession-based attacking style enforced by their then manager Pierre Littbarski. Butcher came in, in his first press conference declared that Sydney would be the "grinders of Australian football" and well...punted Sydney's passing style in favour of the more traditional English hit and hope, a style Australian football had been attempting to rid itself off for a number of years. Butcher represented the exact opposite of what had been wrong with Australian football for the previous few decades. He also didn't exactly endear himself to the fans or the media at all. Saying he wasn't given enough time, without looking the facts of his time there, is incorrect. And how long did he get? A few months with another manager's players is not enough time. He was doing badly with ICT 6 months into his reign. If we had punted him then, we would have never had what we've got now. It doesn't matter what style a manager chooses. That's up to the directors to figure out before they hire him. I beg to differ big time with that statement. Butcher walked into a team who were doing badly. At the start of his reign at ICT he finished our relegation season with six losses from 17 games. The damage was done by the 18 losses out of 28 games prior to him joining. The first three months of the following season seen us play 18 games (including cup) and lose 4. To me he had a very good start to his first six months. Sadly most folk only remember that he was in charge when we were relegated.

My pedantic or what?

Someone who can get success out of a meagre budget and find players who dont ask the earth. Barnsley, like a few others, are having financial difficulties due to trying to buy success. O'Driscoll has seen through that and so should Terry.

Moderators privilege allows me to ask a question. The poll question:- Will he stay or will he go? Isn't that two questions? The answer choice 'yes' or 'no'. Is that yes he'll stay or no he'll go?

The right place hasn't come on the market yet.

Terry was down in Weegie land the other day and bumped into Neil Doncaster. In the conversation, over a glass of wine at the Counting House, Terry mentioned that he had aquired a bit of land near Drumnadrochit but wasn't sure what to do with it. Neil say's 'why dont you put up a barn, slay some deer and hang them in it. A Daily Ranger reporter was sitting at the next table and the rest is on the news.

There is no way that TB is motivated by cash. The man owns property all over the country. I believe he still owns a hotel in Bridge of Allan as well. If money was a factor then he'd never have come to us. Personally I'll wait and see what happens before speculating on who's going to take over.

I admire your faith and I hope you are right. But I think enough hours have lapsed for Terry to have politely declined by now if it were such an easy decision. Barnsley need permission to speak to Butcher. If the right people are not in the office then that permission cannot be obtained. Hope they're all away on holiday to somewhere there's no mobile signal. Terry's on the phone to O'Driscoll to seek advice.

And second place doesn't get a CL place

OCG you choose three of the ten draws we've had. Of the remainder we were leading and gave the equaliser away in the last few minutes on at least five occassions. Thats not being critical but stating how it was. had we been able to hold out in those five games we'd now be the sixteen points clear of bottom six that Clacher mentions in another thread.

Hope they never have a copyright issue.......I'd need to chop my right arm off.

Maybe's no but 22 points off relegation is good enough for me. I think they are more realist than that but the current position is motivation. When all done come season end and three trophies in the cabinet I'll buy them an open top bus each. ( so long as its small and plastic)

If on train watch how you book tickets. Anytime return Inverness to Edinburgh £63.60. Inverness to Perth anytime return £33.30. Perth to Edinburgh cheap day return £16.90. Theres a saving to be had by splitting journey and checkingwhat ticket you buy.

When this was our stadium TCS as was.bmp

When the club shop wasn't in a portacabin it wasn't a club shop. Yes goods could be purchased from reception but there wasn't a shop. Some of us even remember Citylink.

Dont see us filling a stand so no reason why singers cant get together.

All the answers How many ICT goals? 61

Why would Birmingham decide to put someone out on loan who's made 21 starts and 8 from the bench this season? I would have thought that say's he's a regular first team player.

Except they aint allowed to sign anyone. Shinnie aint going anywhere. Apathy at Aberdire, Dismality at Dundee or Mediocrity at Motherwell versus A Crack at Europe.

All the answers

Is someone going to start a rumour every time there's a vacancy? Wait now Dundee are quibbling over whether or not to get rid of their guy.............another one for Terry?

2 & 4 correct. As for your question...........was it Graeme Bennett? Being where I am I dont have the book to hand and download out here takes a week a page.
