Therapist Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 According to several web sites. I wonder what the TA will make of an Englishman being involved with the Scottish national team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraggle Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 What websites? Wouldnt have a problem with an Englishman being number two myself, but I do have a problem with Butcher being it!! What the hell has he done managerial wise that he can get that gig?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal Kingston Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I am a proud Scot and wouldn't mind Butcher being Scotland's assistant. He knows our game more than most and has a proven track record bringing through younger players. A good appointment if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Kurtz Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 According to several web sites. I wonder what the TA will make of an Englishman being involved with teh Scottish national team. He is an ex Hun,ticks all the boxes There will also be an appointment of a "Token Tim",unless the GFA think that Stark will do on that score. The Murray lap dogs like Jackson are furious that Souness didnt get the job,could be interesting soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not done much since leaving Motherwell in 2006. He knows the most of the players and can bring the younger lads through. He is only the assistant though. They don't do much. Ask Tommy Burns.

Gilamas Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Did one of Butcher's sons not play for Scotland schools at rugby and golf? It will be great to wind up Butcher by pointing out that for all his blood-on-a- bandage-chest-thumping-three-lions stuff, he's just trying his best to become Scottish now!

Guest Dipped Flake Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Excellent news. Hope its welcome on board Tel. The real jaco hardliners will be foaming at the mouth. If Burley thinks he is the man for the job then this 'jaco hardliner' has no problem with him being english. If he helps us qualify for the world cup who cares (apart from the usual anti-Scots brigade on this post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Brow Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Terry Butcher?????? Sacked by Coventry, Sunderland, Sydney and Brentford (achieving 5 wins in 23 games!!!). He is feckin hopeless at being a number 1 so lets hope he makes a good number 2 (no pun intended). I am sure Burley knows what he is doing........

Patrick Bateman Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I don't particularly care where Butcher is from (Singapore) I just don't think he's a very good manager. I also wouldn't credit him for James McFadden, its not as though he had any choice to blood youngsters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for the OP, the vast majority are in favour if Burley thinks he is the man for the job. Only really one anti-english poster, who has been roundly shouted down.

Fulham Jambo Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 without getting into a nationality debate I don't think the TA will have any problem with TB being in the Scotland setup.

FORTHCLYDE Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I've no problem with him being number 2. I reckon he's spent more of his life in Scotland than England. Look at the guys who play rugby for Scotland some the first time the know the country is when they step of a plane from down under. I would have Butcher at Tynecastle.

oi oi Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 he continually talks up the scottish game when i've heard him on 5 live. a good motivator who always gives 100% as either a player or coach even if some of his coaching has been suspect. i follow scotland home and away and would welcome him as an assistant as would themajority of scotland fans. if people don't want him then it's likely that they'll make that decision based on his shaky coaching reputation rather than his nationality which is fair enough. Pressley as as assistant too supposedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JamboRobbo Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Is that because he is a Rangers man like Burley? Nope. I couldn't care if he is Rangers/Celtic/Hibs/Hearts or from the moon. I say that because my bro and others players I know who worked under him spoke extremely highly of him, his coaching ability, and his attitude working with players, and how much of a help he was to them as players.

Chuck Berry Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I follow Scotland home an away and would have no problem with Butcher. I couldn't care less where Burleys assistants come from, or if they're an ex-Hun ex-Hobo ex-Tim etc etc as long as they can do a good job, that's all that matters.

Jammy T Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Butcher has international experience at the highest level This alone practically makes him worthwhile to have as part of the wider coaching team Dont see the problem as a right hand man. Will help the players mentally prepare for national games and will be more than capable of helping implement Burley's instructions Burley is the boss not Butcher or anyone else for that matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
