From England legend to management wally to twat in three short steps. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/7217085.stmFormer England captain Terry Butcher has admitted he would want Scotland to beat his country should the two nations ever play each other.
Butcher, 49, has agreed in principle to become a part-time assistant to new Scotland manager George Burley.
And Butcher told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I'd want England to lose in that situation. But if it came to singing the national anthems I'd probably sing both.
"We all want Scotland to win because we are all part of that backroom staff."
Butcher, who captained England to the 1990 World Cup semi-finals, played for Rangers between 1986 and 1990 and has spent much of his life north of the border.
The former defender, who won 77 caps, held talks on Monday with Burley, a former team-mate of his at Ipswich.
The Scottish Football Association hopes to conclude contract negotiations with the former Motherwell manager before the Scotland squad meet on Sunday for a three-day training camp in Loch Lomond.
"The fact that I'm English has upset a few people out there but people who know me know what I can do and know how I go about my business," added Butcher.
"I do give everything to the cause and it is a cause I look forward to serving.
"I've been in Scotland for the last 22 years and although I'm not Scottish, I'm not far off." |

fucking hell, what do you expect the bloke to say.
I'm not really in favour of the appointment as I'm not convinced it's what we need. But come on give the bloke a break.

No need for the above statement was there? A legend in his day for England and Rangers who made himself look a bit of a tit as a manager and talking the Scotch post but the chaps either no common sense or is a genuine tool. On reflection probably a bit of both. Can’t complain with the appointment though. A drunk and a wally in charge of Scotchland but I’d have taken those pair over McLaren one any day of the week.  |

Roles reversed and we had a scottish assistant for England you wouldn't catch him saying he hopes England win v Scotland. Gotta look at it from 2 perpectives. However saying that, I don't really care as Scotland won't be beating us any time soon anyway.  |

God bless John tache and all. Does he count as a Scotch?
Lovely bloke but ‘Glenda and John’ really came as a couple back then.
In fact do you remember that documentary with their arms around one another sitting in the sun smiling away like a couple of brown gardeners on their lunch.
