The latest Butler interview snippet from BBC Radio Humberside is well worth watching, just for the response to the inevitable Billy Sharp question. Pretty clear there’s some beef…

Brisket or Topside 🤔
To be honest would you want someone coming in of that age as a coach, potentially who’d take your job just like he did himself do.
Same when Cliff Byrne wasn’t offered a new contract from the then manager in charge, bit like expecting turkey’s to vote for Xmas.
The correct decision for Butler.1 user thanked author for this post.
It’s the right decision, but he could have found any number of other ways of responding in a more professional way.
Butler?
Seriously doubt it.1 user thanked author for this post.
My 2 penneth ..
There does seem to be a fascination in many fans to get past players to “come home” FOR ME IS NOT A GOOD IDEA WHO EVER IT IS .. Sharp has had more clubs then Fred Flinstone so not sure there is any real loyalty or love for Scunny over anyone of the others.
As a player … If hes no longer good enough for Donny then is he still so sharp … read a few comments from Donny fans that hes past it so NO THANKS
As a coach etc .. didnt he apply for the managers / coaches job a while back ? he came to GP to be filmed in the promotional kit launch vid power washing in the stands , he also got sh8t for his celebration when scoring for Donny against us.
His interest in the manager / head coach job fell on deaf ears (thanks but no thanks) and didnt he chuck his toys out the pram shortly after having a pop saying he would never return to Scunny.Let Mr Sharp drift off into retirement or other avenues within the game ..im sure he will find a club as a player manager somewhere around the non league clubs.
So fickle is the game that never say never and come mid next season and IF the mighty Iron are doing badly in the NL Mr Butler may be toast and Billy can chuck his hat in the penalty box again.

Loyalty in football? As rare as rocking horse s**t! The days of Matt Le Tissier are long gone, kissing the current club’s badge is as loyal as most get.

McCann brands Scunthorpe boss Butler ‘disrespectful’ over Sharp comments

Butler just comes across as a complete c when handed a microphone.

McCann the unprofessional one. No reason to comment on Butler giving a honest answer to a question.
Don’t think Sharp needs his ego massaging by Butler. People moan they aren’t kept in the picture and when they are they still moan.1 user thanked author for this post.
Let’s agree to differ. It came across as unnecessarily terse at best. In McCann’s shoes, I would have ignored it, but maybe there is some history?
It’s not a capital offence, but AB does need to polish up his approach to comms, media, engagement.
He could have said: “What a career he’s had and I wish him all the best in what he chooses to do next. But, no, we are not interested in bringing Billy back at this stage of our development as a club, and at this point in his career.” Same response in essence, but entirely different tone.
It’s the right decision, but he could have found any number of other ways of responding in a more professional way.
I didn’t think it was unprofessional.
