So George Burley got it, and it looks like Terry Butcher will be his assistant. What do you think, good, bad, indifferent?

Hated Butcher when he played for/captained "The Auld Enemy", and even when he first joined the Gers (and helped kick start some brilliant signings like Brian Laudrup etc etc, as well as some pish like Paul "who ate awe the pies" Gascoigne!) Anyway why is the ex-Gers man only the No2 this time? :laugh:

To be truthful I'm actually more excited by the prospect of Butcher (and it's zilch to do way being a Bear) than Burley (despite the good work he done at Hearts, before the clowns in charge of the Jambo's sacked him.) Burley's been in England that long that Butcher probably knows the Scottish scene better, as he's only been in Oz for a wee while compared to GB's exile (and the last thing we need is any more Anglo-Scots duffers filling oot the team!) Christ, who'd have thunk it a GB and an ex-Engerlund captain in charge of Scotland's Rampant Lions!

Well wits the Hampden Roar, wit day you think?

I stood next to Terry Butcher in a toilets in a service station once. He's fcuking huge! (I'm talking height here, I wasn't taking a sneaky peak!).

He once did his top 10 records or summat in the NME, and wrote that he'd chucked out all his Simple Minds and U2 records when he found out they were Celtic fans! :lol:

His track-record in management ain't all that though, is it? He was an unmitigated disaster down at Brentford recently.

Proper Tractor boy combo. Should have Scotand passing the ball like the mighty ITFC in no time.

Now if they could only get Mick Mills in as director of football............. Maybe not!!!! :laugh:

Their both meant to be "great man-managers" and the teams pretty strong the now, but is man management enough?I doubt the "mighty" ITFC could have gubbed France, and ran Italy so close, and just how many brown envelopes did the Italians hand "that" ref? Disgraceful foul on Hutton that gave them the chance to score that last goal.Butcher done all right with limited resources at Motherwell, as did Burley at Hearts before his job was undermined.If it doesn't go tits up I think they might surprise a few people.1st game against Croatia should be a good one.
