New Manager Odds (merged)

[Johnboy]

the guardian claims butcher has already been approached and would carry on as scotland no 2 so no compo required.25/1 looks enticing long odds at the minute !!

He wouldn't be my first choice but you're right - definitely worth a flutter.

[DanielMacBean]

thought john collins might be on there?

Collins just took up a position in Belgium a couple of weeks ago.

[DanielMacBean]

belgium?!

jesus christ hahaha

[martinskye]

thought john collins might be on there?

unlikely as he has just joined a Belgian outfit.

In response to speculation regarding Butcher

Can't say I'd complain too much at that appointment.

[Guest Nocko]

Not seeing it online?!?

ah, i googled it and got it on their news page, if anyone finds it available to bet on - at any bookie - please post!

Not online only sent out as a press release. Best bet is going in shops in morning

Cant see Terry being 25/1 anymore though

[dreamers]

Cant believe that previous managers are been flagged up as possible replacements for CB. Surely the lesson learned is that going back no matter how successful a manager has been in the past is not the stuff of progress. Can you imagine the pressure on a old/new manager given we are at the bottom of the league and have new players in the team.

A new face and a new approach is surely the way forward? A character that believes emphatically in his own tactics and style of management that is endorced fully by the fans. If he proves to be unsuitable then and only then begin to judge him. But first and formost make him feel welcome and therefore give him the support and confidence he will need in his dammed if you do dammed if you dont role.

In that article has Terry's head grown or is it just a bad cut and paste?

[Caley Stan]

Given that the squirrel (allegedly) gets his information directly from the Heathmount Mafia, maybe that's the early shortlist:

Butcher, Robertson, Chisholm, Knox.

I think Archie Knox with a younger, ICT-related assistant would be an ideal appointment.

He joined Brechin last week, we can do better than Duffy IMO.

I agree with Knox, Butcher and even Robbo till the end of the season

Really dont see what shearer would offer though!

Il vote for Butcher thanks!

[Guest kcrawford]

Duncan Shearer could teach our strikers to score.... maybe?

[Invermac]

Duncan Shearer could teach our strikers to score.... maybe?

and what else? we have more than a striking problem to be solved. What players would he attract? How would sort a leaky defence? a lack of confidence? etc...

Dont get me wrong... i think he could have a role to play in the club, but dont think he could do the big job.

Sacked by Buckie Thistle. No thanks !

Agreed.

All this aside, i really believe that Butcher could be one of the biggest signings ever made by the club and it might actually give us a fighting chance!

Only question is... would he stay if we did go down? maybe not!!

Maybe he was sacked but...

how many cups/games did he win with them?...

[RednBlackComeback]

Aren't you forgetting his acrimonious departure from ICT ?

Does all seem to be in Butchers favour at the moment!

Yep I think it does, not sure how I feel about that his management record is a bit chequered
