Seems butcher it done well at Inverness CT but is disillusioned by poor crowds.

His assistant is Maurice Malpas.

Butcher has done an outstanding job at ICT.  I know there are awlays questions about the standard of Scottish football, but, on a very limited budget, to take ICT from an OK first div club to challenging for Europe, and giving Celtic and the other historic clubs - Hibs, Hearts, Motherwell a real fright along the way is no mean achievement.  He has won over a very doubtful (and very small!) band of supporters in a big way.  If our future is with tighter purse strings, we could do far worse.  As for the Malpas conundrum, people say that he is actually a good coach, just not so good at being in charge.  I have no idea what the relationship is between the two, and whether ICT would try to hold on to Malpas.

I always thought Butcher had a poor reputation as a manager, not sure where but recall he was a bit of a laughing stock.

Butcher has a feckin' awful managerial record, ICT apart. Ask Brentford fans.

Phil Brown? You're joking? If you've heard him on Fighting Talk, you'll know he keeps on getting turned down by the most tinpot of clubs. For a reason.
