Gribz 788 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/7213074.stm Not sure what to make of this, just glad he isnt our main manager. But he's based in Scotland and knows the game so we'll see. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Sorry but I like Butcher. He was the main one when the Souness thing started and no matter what anyone says, I wont forget those days or him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I was listening to the Clyde phone-in at the weekend and that Spew Keevins was full of pish as usual. He said he hasn't got a problem with an Englishman taking over as the ass man of Scotland as he's a born again Scotsman. Fuck me Spew, what a load of pish. He captained England, Scotlands main rivals. In no way what-so-ever is he a born again Scotsman. Arsehole! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I like Butcher but would rather have 100% Scots from top to bottom. Only countries without much of a football pedigree should need the help of outsiders - and as we invented international football, we shouldn't need any outside help. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 PS A country large, rich, footballing nation like England having a foreign manager is an absolute disgrace and embarrassment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eightball 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 To be honest I'm surprised at Butcher being brought into the team in this capacity. What has he actually achieved as a manager/coach? Very little apart from getting his P45 every couple of years... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Couldn't care less if he's English, Martian, Azerbaijani or whatever. If he's good enough I'm happy. But the fans of Coventry, Sunderland, Sydney and Brentford all can't be wrong!!! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstandbear 0 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 i think Butcher will do a good job...seems to know the scottish footballing mentality and IMO is a good motivator.... a good contrast with Burley's more cerebral approach to the game 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 7,742 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I think that Butcher has been found out as a coach. Not been a success anywere he's been. Great player, but 2nd or 3rd rate coach. Have no issues with his nationality, but have issues with his abilities as a coach. Surely someone like Alex Miller, Joe Jordan or Eric Black should be considered for this post?

Gribz 788 Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Joe Jordan should have been a country mile ahead of him in the Scotland No.2 stakes. Even Richard Gough should have been included IMO. Way ahead of Pressley anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
