Brazil and Butcher were teammates at Ipswich Town, whose manager, Paul Hurst, is under mounting pressure.
The former Ipswich Town striker Alan Brazil says something has to give after the Tractor Boys’ latest defeat, against Leeds United.
Ipswich were beaten 2-0 at Elland Road on Wednesday, to leave them bottom of the Championship with just one league win to their name in 14 attempts this season.
The result heaps yet more pressure on Paul Hurst, the young boss Ipswich hired from Shrewsbury Town in the summer.
And, speaking on his own Talksport breakfast show on Thursday, Brazil suggested a former teammate of his could be the man to turn things around at Portman Road.
“Look I don’t want to see anyone lose their job,” reasoned the Scot. “But something’s got to give at Ipswich that’s for sure.
“And they could do worse than big Butch (Terry Butcher) getting involved, definitely.
“I don’t think he would (say no to a return to management). I think if Ipswich came calling then he would dive at the chance.”
Butcher counts Coventry City, Sunderland, Motherwell, Brentford, Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Hibernian among the clubs he has managed.
Although, he left his last club role, at Newport County, in October 2015.
Should Ipswich act after losing at Leeds and, if so, who would you want as Hurst’s replacement?
