Suspect Device Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Was that an interview with a football manager? Any insight into football style/ tactics/philosophy ? I think Butcher would be a bit of a laugh to have a pint with, but a journalist interviewing him and the best he can come up with is Deep Purple/ don't appologies/ favourite artists????

That piece was nasauting though, which is all to do with the journalism (and I use that term very loosely!) Agreed on the article, absolutely vomit inducing. Aiden Smith is part of the Scottish culture of really poor football 'journalists'. It's staggering that he is allowed to write again and again about his wretched club, but it shows how far the scotsman has fallen. On Pat Butcher himself I would disagree. Whilst becoming manager of h1b5 is a big part of my dislike for him, his behaviour during the ICT semi last year reminded me how horrible a character he is. Using his mind games on the ref to try and get ngoo sent off for getting kicked by his big thugs. Certainly tactic worked as ref gave ngoo nothing all day. h1b5 are welcome to butcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Walnut Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Utter nonsense and ramblings. very un professional and resembles something you would see in a fans blog by somebody trying desperately hard to be seen as intelligent.

Guest oldcastlerock2012 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Could someone explain what exactly makes people - like all of the media it seems (are they scared of him or something?) - think Butcher is a good football manager? The fact that every fawning article about Butcher ignores football and focus on his eccentricities should be a big red flag for Hibs fans. He did OK at Caley but nothing special considering there's not much between any of the teams under Celtic the last couple of seasons. Did he bring through any good youngsters for example? None that I remember. And he did virtually nothing before Caley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
