Adver News: Former England captain interested in Town job

[RWB Robin]

Butcher may well have a 'feckin awful' record before ICT, but maybe his record in Scotland demonstrates that he has learnt, matured whatever.  Do we discount everyone who has not been 100% successful since their first appointment?  A pretty small field if so!  As for Malpas...well, I somehow doubt he would want to come back anyway!

[Arriba]

Don't want that one

I would love Malpas back, just to see the mong level go >9000

If Malpas came back as manager, the mong level would be >9001. As cone gatherer, I wouldn't care.

[Abrahammer]

Me thinks expectations as to the calibre of the next manager are way too high in some quarters.  High quality managers with spotless records are either employed or not interesting in a League 1 team.

As a follower of jock football for my sins i can honestly say that Butcher along with Stuart McCall have been the best managers up there for the past couple of seasons.  ICT are a tiny club in terms of resources even by SPL standards and he has worked a near miracle to get them where they are.

Whether he can do a job for us is debateable, for every successful managerial export from the SPL there is are equal numbers of failures.

MO MO, MO MO MO MO, MO MO MO MO, MO MO MAURICE MALPAS!

MAURICE MALPAS SEXY FOOTBALL!!

It would be entertaining.

[Trashbat?]

I wonder if Malpas still has that monkey on his back that he was always banging on about.

[jayohaitchenn]

I think with De Vita on the left and Roberts (He's a proper winger) on the right, Mo Mo's patented 4/3.5/2.5 formation will revolutionise football.

No one has pointed out yet that the article contains the word 'understands', twice.

I thought we understood that when the adver understands, its tantamount to fiction?

[StfcRusty]

I find talk of Butcher, Brown et al just so depressing. It's like being chatted up by a bunch of fat mingers after you've just been dumped by your supermodel girlfriend. 

[Saxondale]

Personally think that my supermodel girlfriend has worn me out with her high maintenance hissy fitting.  Yes it was beautiful and the sex was great but after that the tantrums and was starting to outweigh the joy of those fleeting moments.

So Im ready to go back into the market and my sights are set a little lower.  Perhaps a front magazine page 3 type girl.  Still fun but less psychodrama.  Im intrigued by that JFH, but dont really want to lower myself to Doris from behind the bar at the dog and duck.  You know the one, her with the orange tan who looks good but only after a night on the lash.

Completely the wrong analogy as unless you're bent a drill's a drill.

One must be much more selective in football matters. Nobody judges you for slinging one up a trotter every now and then.
