To be fair he played well today. I hope he keeps it going. Unlike the garbage Butler spouts, I don’t want Campbell to fail. If Campbell plays well and develops then we finish further up the league.
Butler needs to engage his brain before opening his mouth at times. Bit wide of the mark.

No. To be fair inside the ground everybody is fair with him and got a really good reaction at full time when he came over. I don’t get where all this “they want the club to fail” rubbish.
I’m not quite sure how he came to that conclusion. Fans worried about a player that has looked a bag of nerves who has made mistakes to “they can stay at home” and “they only want the club to fail” is a ridiculous jump to say the least.
I don’t get where he’s coming from, but there you go.

I would say he is more aware of social media comments than he let on at the fans’ forum.

Really enjoyed the interview. Might rub some fans up the wrong way but there’s plenty been fired in the other direction.
He’ll back his players to the end, I admire that and it seems to get rewarded through them busting a gut for him as we saw today.

Wasn’t Butlers comments today more about what is said on social media, x or whatever it is, don’t think he was referring to inside the ground but I may have misinterpreted his comments. Didn’t hear anything negative about Maison from the crowd today, general comments were the boy done good.

Just one afterthought, I do think highlighting the weaker part of Maisons skill set so vociferously as we’ve seen on social media generally plays in to the opposition’s hands. Let’s not give them any ammo I say.

I like that Butler sticks up for his players and protects them. Some seem to say they want their managers to be honest, but the manager has a responsibility for their morale. I know I would hate a boss who would slag me off to others, especially in public, and it would sap me in work. He isn’t a weak touch, he will expect professionalism, as has been said with his drills and organisation. However, he won’t chastise players and let’s them know he supports them. Rather that than Paul Hurst style sniping. I reckon man management is one of Butler’s strengths.

I think that’s great to as he’s their manager and that’s what he’s there to do. Butler can back the players all he likes, but you can do that without making ridiculous claims regarding the fans with anything negative to say that they don’t want the club to succeed or players not to make it in the game.
What he’s basically saying is that if you go on X or any other platform and vent your frustrations about any of the players for whatever reason you’d better stay at home because the club don’t want you there as it’s only £20 they’d be missing out on.
Not great is it.

Always amuses me how fans say all sorts, whether to opposition players, their own players on social media, but some immediately start crying if the opposition players respond or as yesterday Butler called out that constantly slating a young keeper on social media isn’t supporting him to a better player.

I concur. Perhaps Butler’s choice of words a little misplaced but most will understand his frustration and not take it literally.

Always funny when certain posters get their knickers in a twist when a manager supports his players and calls some criticism out, what did he say, stay behind your keyboard and don’t bother coming to the ground. Bit OTT maybe but he’s passionate about his players and the club and he’s just sticking up for them in his own way, maybe people should chill out a bit more and don’t get so prickly when their criticism gets fired back at them. If people can’t handle it and stay away that’s their choice but it’s a childish response from some on here IMO.

Butler’s comments don’t really bother me, and nobody is going to be staying away because of them. As Awaywego mentions he’s shown throughout his tenure that he’s clearly a prickly character who gets easily riled up whenever criticism heads his or his players way. If anyone who ever had anything negative to say online stayed away then we’d quickly be back down to the 1500 club.
But regarding that criticism, how/why is he seeing it unless he’s trawling through FB/X/Bru? It’s definitely not vocalised from the stands inside the stadium, so unless someone is trawling social media and creating a “criticism dosier” to feed back to him, then it’s pretty easy to just ignore SUFC related stuff on FB/X/Bru.

If he is looking at social media then he’s ignoring his and Maison’s defenders. We are few but pretty vocal. Kind of tells me he’s getting drip fed the harshest criticism.
