Bluenose_Pete 4 Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t..._ct/7842208.stm Inverness Caledonian Thistle are expected to name Terry Butcher as their new manager on Tuesday evening. The former Motherwell and Swindon boss Maurice Malpas is also expected to join him in the Highlands as his assistant. Butcher is currently assistant to Scotland boss George Burley and it is as yet unclear whether he will continue in that role. The former England captain was last in charge of Brentford for just six months in 2007. Butcher, who won 77 caps for England, began his managerial career at Coventry and had a spell at Sunderland before taking over at Motherwell in 2002. He forged a good partnership with assistant Malpas in his four years at Fir Park, with Malpas succeeding him as manager of the club when Butcher left for Australian side FC Sydney. However, the 50-year-old lasted less than a year in that job, while his brief time at Brentford was marred by a dismal run of results. Experienced coach Archie Knox had been tipped as an early favourite for the job vacated by Craig Brewster after he was interviewed first on Friday. John Robertson and Chris Sutton were also interviewed by the Highland outfit. Former Caley Thistle boss Brewster was sacked following seven consecutive defeats leaving the club at the bottom of the Scottish Premier League. Argentine World Cup winner Ossie Ardiles and former Manchester City and Scotland defender Willie Donachie, recently sacked by Millwall, had also expressed an interest in a move to the Highlands.

TunnyLoyal 1,136 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I reckon he will do a sound job there and might save them from relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperRangers 2 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I think its a bad move tae be honest, I donno how he can be classed as the most experiecned as Knox wouldve probably have been a 10 times move than Butcher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 How can you be an SPL manager and assistant Scotland manager? Surely there's a conflict of interests when he sends Ross Tokely out there to kick Ferguson, Fleck and Scott Brown et al into the air? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo. 952 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Cali manager from today..... thoughts? Yip, he's a turncoat bastard. Fingers crossed ICT have got a moviestar director we don't know about who can sack the traitorous big shite again. Terrible manager. Terrible pundit. Terrible Hotelier! The man was a legend in my eyes but NOONE with rangers in their heart could have his take on our club. Impartiality is one thing but if anything he seems to favour the mhanks or whoever we play.
