CoplandFront5 or John227 or any other poster on here have you heard anything at all regarding terry butcher ?I've heard this morning that he's in the running to be part of philippe clement's backroom team as a coach and that talks had taken place ?I wonder ?.
19 Nov 2023 09:14:10
Not heard that, nothing short of embarrassing if true.
19 Nov 2023 09:37:37
I've also heard he's in the running coops, and just like John said, it would be nothing short of embarrassing, if true?
Out of all our ex players, I would say that Butcher has been the worst for having a go at us, or sticking the boot in.
19 Nov 2023 09:42:10
Why embarrassing, if you don't mind me asking John227?.
19 Nov 2023 09:43:53
Post this few wks back, it’s came straight from a Bridge of Allan where butcher still has very connection .
19 Nov 2023 09:47:43
Don’t se how that is embarrassing John having a ex England captain/ ex rangers player and someone that has managed teams as a member of philippe clement's backroom staff.
19 Nov 2023 09:49:43
You would think Clement would want to bring in his own backroom team that he's worked with before, not people he doesn't know.
19 Nov 2023 10:09:54
Maybe he’s being looked at for the b team position coops/ John?
We’ve had neilson, Davidson, and few others linked recently.
I’m of the opinion maybe these guys were going to be offered the b team position with a view to progressing to first team duties over the years, obviously b team position is becoming availible so it makes sense that it’s the position being looked to fill by these guys?
Know the leagues and the game.
19 Nov 2023 10:25:23
Terry But her is 64 and hasn’t been in football coaching at a higher level in quite a while, sounds like fake news?
19 Nov 2023 10:32:00
Man that totally bad mouthed our club. And crap manager coach
I sooner have the snake Beale back.
19 Nov 2023 10:32:47
How’s it not embarrassing?
Done nothing since 2018.
Though as a manager he has won the Scottish 1st division with ICT and with other clubs…nothing.
Loved him as a player but it’s this backward thinking that hinders the club from going forward.
19 Nov 2023 10:33:00
Neilsen davidson etc current in the game Stevie.
19 Nov 2023 12:02:43
What butcher did or didn't was no worse then what shagger, etc did in our honour of need and we forgave him .
19 Nov 2023 12:08:29
Souness is 70 and you’d take him back. when did he last manage? .
Butcher was one of the corner stones that made souness so successful .
We all say things we shouldn’t. Called life .
19 Nov 2023 12:18:11
Whatever butcher said was against the fans was it not?
Can someone refresh the memory of folk lol rb myself?
I thought the fans were acting it wan night n he spoke out against them, he obviously felt strongly enough to do it so maybe he had a point?
We’re pointing out the things away fans are doing on a daily basis.
Thing is if what he said was the truth it shouldn’t be held against him.
Lastly though I don’t think he’s what we need atm.
Yes John I know they’re current and would been good additions with an eye on the future.
We should be looking at having the best young Scottish coaches at our club with a view to progressing to first team, similar to a lot of European clubs.
A Conveyor belt.
I’d like to see a top coach take one of the youth teams and follow it through all the way to b team and then take the head coach role when becomes availible.
That would be special if it was successful.
19 Nov 2023 12:20:50
Gvb who do you refer to as would take souness back.
19 Nov 2023 13:29:30
I think the biggest negative is how long Butcher has been out the game and away from Scottish football . For me, he ticks no boxes, not coaching currently, no current knowledge of Scottish football and been away from Rangers too long to have any club knowledge that would be useful. There must be better more up to date candidates than Tel for coaching roles at Ibrox, though I would draw the line at rather having Beale back, that's just too far.
19 Nov 2023 14:16:30
I have to 100% agree with John on this
Butcher did not behave like a man who knows what it means to have been a part of rangers and he should not be employed again by rangers.
Plenty of decent people out there with the respect and qualities
For me Stuart McCall should get another chance I feel he was unfairly treated by us took over at bad time and never even got a transfer window.
Knows rangers always respectful
Knows lower leagues of England
Good experience of working as an assistant.
19 Nov 2023 14:19:19
Wsl very good post on butcher.
19 Nov 2023 14:37:11
John, not supporting coaching role for Butcher but a club and international legend in my book.
19 Nov 2023 14:54:32
He was bankie but slaughtered our fans and club.
19 Nov 2023 15:28:04
John227- Callum Davidson currently in the game.
Who with?
If he was available he would be a great addition to the coaching team.
19 Nov 2023 16:13:08
John, don’t recall what he said and if any of it was justified. Remains a legend for me.
19 nov 2023 16:17:37
gifir, youve constanly dussed the english lower leagues mate, titally screamed anpbout our club loloking at english lower league players, now you4 holding stuart mcoll up as “ kniwing the english lower leauges “, surorised at that, butcher is a legend, but probably not the guy fir the job, wee stuart also going backwards imo, there's plenty of current modern coaches around,
19 Nov 2023 16:58:53
Copland you are just been silly now. Davidson is currently out a job but it hasn’t been 6 years since his last one. Also John isn’t saying he wants these guys just that he was interviewed. A lot of people jumping on John for no reason.
Do I want butcher back no it would be a ridiculous move.
Souness he isn’t coming back as a coach so complete irrelevant and it just makes you look silly.
19 nov 2023 17:10:23
think john meant he's still a man in the game currently looking for the right job mate, bit pedantic to say " who with" he's a young guy i'm the game and he will be picked up soon.
19 Nov 2023 17:33:24
Storm - not my intention to be silly especially with John as I think carefully before I post.
I was only asking a question re Davidson.
Apologies to everyone.
19 Nov 2023 17:48:47
TT - I was only questioning as unknown to me Davidson might have been appointed to another job like Neilson.
Apologies to all.
19 Nov 2023 17:51:01
Copland I mean current as in last year, butcher went hibs Newport Philippines ten year ago
Copland know need to apologise, I thought it was a fair question,
19 Nov 2023 18:34:20
Cheers John appreciated.
Hope you are getting a few games of golf in at Troon.
19 Nov 2023 18:38:26
I’d love Davidson on our staff, what he done in his first season at st Johnstone was miraculous.
Top young Scottish coach and we’d be lucky to have him on board in any capacity.
I’d love him to take the b team.
Perhaps he’d view that as below him though.
19 nov 2023 18:49:20
no need for apology copeland, yiur very courteous and decent in your posts.
19 Nov 2023 19:04:30
WSL - now I get the jist of the post re butcher.
19 Nov 2023 19:59:44
Cheers TT.
19 Nov 2023 21:06:16
Clement will want to bring in people who he knows/ worked with before and trusts.
19 Nov 2023 21:08:33
No need to apologise mate ?.
19 Nov 2023 21:21:47
Coplan yes getting two or three games a week depending on weather, thank u.
20 Nov 2023 06:59:00
I hope CF5 is OK. I don’t recall reading any of his posts recently, although I’m not on this every day either. All the best CF5, if you read this.
20 Nov 2023 12:17:14
1872. CF like many were getting a bit fed up re reaction of some posters, fully understand him
Is insight is definitely missed but I understand him.
20 Nov 2023 14:01:12
Ah, fair enough John. I fully understand that too; some on here like to take a pop and try to knock down valued posters with decent information that they share to benefit all. It’s pretty destructive behaviour and must get wearing for people like you and CF5 and others. Thanks for the response and I’m pleased that this is the reason for his absence.
21 Nov 2023 17:22:56
Sorry but cup competitions are a poor judge of a coach league placings are true reflection
Scottish cup
Dundee 0 Vs stjohn 1
Stjohn 2 Vs Clyde 0
Gers 1 Vs stjohnstone 1 won pens
Stjohn 2 Vs stmirren 1
Stjohn 1 Vs Hibs 0
League cup
Kelty Hearts 2-1
Brechin City 7-0
Dundee United 0-0
Peterhead 3-1
Motherwell 2-1
Dunfermline 1-1 won pens
Hibernian 3-0
Livingston 1-0
And this is what a lot of clowns based wanting Davidson to get rangers job on ?
What happened following year again and where did stjohnstone finish in league
First season 7th
Second season 6th
Third season 11th survived play off
Last season sacked 5 points off bottom.
