Should Locke Resign?

The equivalent thread on KB is pretty much a 50/50 split. What do y'all think?

[fat freddy]

they cant sack him and he wont resign...a win win situation for hibbies...long may he reign and long may billy brown shower him with golden platitudes

[nonshinyfinish]

Time for a golden statue.

[wazoo1875]

I think his contract should be extended.

Me too. He looked a broken man after yesterday. Could take them a good while to get over that. Pat Fenlon never recovered from them malmo game but at least we could afford to pay him off. I can't see him walking away either :na na:

[Phil D. Rolls]

Absolutely not, there's people in Bulgaria to think about.

[ronaldo7]

I'm looking forward to Easter Road singing One Gary Locke, their's only One Gary Locke, at the Ne'er day Derby:aok:

He can get tae efter that.

[eastterrace]

no way he should resign let him see out the job, im looking forward to see how it pans out dont give in to them gary you know it makes sense.

[Diclonius]

I want us to beat him first. Then they can bring in the next gimp.

[GoldenMeerkat]

Couldn't care less.

[Hibernianinc]

Locke is utterly out of his depth.

I'm delighted.

There's nothing documented to suggest Pat Felon was paid off - unless you can provide it?

As for Unlockie and the shower across the way deserve each other. The yams were flushed with success - now they can be flushed away together.

[SurferRosa]

Damn.....i misread the question and put my cross in the Yes box.....:Ummm:


I do, of course,mean No......let the comedy he provides never end.

[Hermit Crab]

He's turning into a Fenlon. Giving them some of their worst results in their history, he must stay on but the natives won't stand for it much longer. Expect a reaction from them on Saturday against utd but I expect another heavy defeat for them as utd are on fire and I can't see them losing the game to a demoralised Hear7s team.

[Pretty Boy]

Absolutely not.

Unless he is going to be replaced by Stephen Fail.

[KingFranck]

He should get a 10 year contract!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Naw let's see more of those shocked expressions of sheer terror on his face as other teams rip them apart Plus it's pointless just like hearts :thumbsup:

[andrew70]

I hope not. However no team should ever get beat 7 nil at home by anyone. For me our own debacle against Malmo was the last straw for Pat Fenlon. Locke yesterday had no answer and obviously struggles to motivate his players. Had we scored when we were well on top against them in the LC qtr final then I am sure we would have went on to batter them as well. They are absolutely brutal and I can't wait til a rejuvenated confident Hibernian play them again. I sincerely hope Locke is still there on the 2nd of Jan as well.

[wazoo1875]

Aye,apologies Jack I never really meant to suggest we did pay him off. I'm led to believe if reports are correct that pat was dignified enough to walk. It was more that they definitely can't afford to pay pishy puss off :greengrin

[God Petrie]

Locke resigning would be a financial disaster for them. They still don't get it.

[Northernhibee]

Honestly, I could see Billy Brown getting the gig.

Which would just be even better than Locke.

[SuperAllyMcleod]

I think it is important to keep Billy Brown there too. He was in the losing dugout for the following (and probably others that slip my mind) -

Hibs 6 - 2 Hearts
Kilmarnock 1 - 5 Hibs
Hibs 1 - 5 Hearts (sorry!)
Hearts 0 - 7 Celtic

In fact Locke was in 3 of those too.

[Dashing Bob S]

People will laugh at this, in fact I'm laughing myself as I type:faf: but I really think he's had a team of basically under 21's with only really 3 or 4 half-decent looking players (as in might make it in the game decent) punching massively above their weight. It's all been about effort and organisation, and he's wisely set them up (until yesterday) not to get leathered. However, the silver tears of pride only last for so long, and my feeling is that they are now about to be replaced by the golden tsunami of urine, with that dreadful morale shaker.

I genuinely think that without the galvanising effect of a true, motivated, youngish enthusiastic manager, who is a genuine Hearts man, this team would have been on nowhere near -3 at this stage of the season. If you look on Kickback, the posters who acknowledge this are the realists who are accepting of the current reality for Hearts. It's the deluded supremacists who feel they can cheat and rip off their way through another decade or two, that believe he could be replaced by somebody who could do better.

But Gary Locke is all that's holding this team together.

He won't save them, but sacking him will only speed their demise.

It's difficult to see who would want the job as it almost guarantees a failure registered on their CV.

This is precisely the reason that Locke should walk away now - he still has sympathy from a number of clubs and may get another offer at some point. If he hangs on and takes a few more tankings then no one will touch him.

Hopefully he stays on!

[GreenCastle]

Keep him...

Let's beat them and sing his name...I also want to see his face when they are relegated.

He's not on much but they can't pay him off.

Plus who wants to come in with relegation a large possibility and life in Div 1 with sevco and possibly Dundee / Dunfermline etc.

He is clueless though and every interview he speaks in I wonder how he has a job as he doesn't sound very intelligent.

[Haymaker]

They cant sack him. They cant replace him if he walks. **** him.

[Www1875hfc]

Thought they held there own during the minute silence.

He will be the next BIG manager to make a name for himself after leaving Hear7s.
After all,every one that's left has went on to bigger and better things right?

I dont think he will walk, he has done pretty well considering what he has to work with,I also think this has been noticed by other folk and he wont have a problem finding another job, if he does walk. I dont think its doing him any harm IMO.

[Weststandwanab]

He's turning into a Fenlon. Giving them some of their worst results in their history, he must stay on but the natives won't stand for it much longer. Expect a reaction from them on Saturday against utd but I expect another heavy defeat for them as utd are on fire and I can't see them losing the game to a demoralised Hear7s team. I voted no, keep him but he cannot be a Fenlon until he has got them to two Finals.

Hearts and Locke desereve each other, both as classless as they come.


His latest heart-felt rant in the press is a goody....

HEARTS boss Gary Locke has accused the football authorities of punishing the “wrong people” after watching his young team be ripped apart by Celtic in a 7-0 Scottish Cup rout.

Locke has been left with a squad made up of mostly teenagers after the Jambos were hit with an SFA transfer embargo after going into administration.

Battling against a 15-point penalty in the SPFL has also damaged their confidence with Hearts cut adrift at the foot of the table.

The Yams cheat, lie and delay Administration to the end of the season so they could retain their SPL status :greengrin Suck it up, Yams :thumbsup:

[CyberSauzee]

Gary's got to stay, if only to wipe away the tears of despair on his brave young lads. So brave.

Seriously, from what I've heard, Gary's brilliant for team morale at Riccarton, always the practical joker, taking the piss at every opportunity.

[Bostonhibby]

Gary, don't buckle under the pressure, you have the potential to be the next John McGlynn.
If I were you I would only worry if you start to hear stories about independent Ian or Brian Jackson coincidentally ringing up Potter whilst he is in the mens changing rooms trying on some discounted strides like jumbo was somewhere or other. Yam class but you knew that.

[Jonnyboy]

Credit where it's due, he's managed to steer them to a mere minus fourteen points behind after fifteen games. I mean who else could have managed Hearts to such a fine points total?

His case wasn't helped today when John Soutar and Ryan Gauld said they'd enjoyed the challenge of playing against older players :wink:

[Pete]

Let me think...

[Hibercelona]

Pesonally hope he stays there forever (forever possibly being temporary anyway). But even if he is replaced, it won't make a jot of difference. It was always going to be only a matter of time before that squad hit breaking point. A new manager will not make a difference.

[matty_f]

Were the pundits not talking about him as a manager of the year candidates at one point? :faf:

He has to stay. He is just a bit unlucky at the moment, with decisions going against him!

That was mentioned by Liam McLeod on Sportscene last Sunday.

In his defence, it was 6-0 at the time but I think that the 7th ruined any prospective nomination.

[Phil D. Rolls]

Locke saying, "it's no fair" through the week, is all the excuse those kids need to give up. Very confident that we will put 3, at least, past them on the 2nd.

Butcher's philosophy will be ingrained in our team by then, whilst they will be utterly and terminally demoralised. It will be the perfect storm.

Haw, haw, haw, for you Jambos ze war is over.

Yet another Jambo manager fails to understand the importance of goal difference. They don't ever learn a thing from their mistakes.

In his defence, it was 6-0 at the time but I think that the 7th ruined any prospective nomination.

In further defence of Liam McLeod, his statement was that Locke would be manager of the year if he could save Hearts from relegation. That's not an unreasonable opinion.

[weonlywon6-2]

Locke is utterly out of his depth.

I'm delighted.

:lolyam:


Dunno if he is or not but i think hes the beat they can have just now.

I also don't mind him either for some unknown reason

Gary Locke is Gary Numan of this century. Though without the synth-industrial pop, and with the golden showers, obviously.

[lyonhibs]

I fear for the progress of Scotland's finest young players if Locke leaves Pishcastle. These brave warriors, imbued with the Jambo spirit of 1914, might not reach the pinnacle of their potential without Goalden Gary to guide them.

And that, I'm sure we call agree would be a heartbreak we could not stand idly by and let happen.

Just been watching Sportscene from Sunday. The 5 mins of highlights from Tannadice consisted entirely of United pummeling the Hearts goal broken only by 2 entries for the Ypres Memorial U-16 Springboard Championships at the other end.

It was an even game


Stats:

Possession 60-40 United
Shots 18-6 United
On target 8-1 United

[#FromTheCapital]

I honestly don't think hearts changing their manager would make a blind bit of difference. The problem mainly lies with their *hite players rather than their *hite manager. Tactically the current hearts team is not much different than previous hearts teams. The only difference is much worse players than they've been used to and that's not going to change anytime soon.

Who in the right mind would take that job at the moment?

[21.05.2016]

Locke just seems to be constantly coming out with any old excuses. First it was youth (funny though as I thought they once claimed they had the best young talent in the country!) now its injuries etc. claiming hearts can barely put out 11 men.

Suck it up ya greetin faced, pish stained hearts tramp, your club is where it is because your a cheating, corrupt, moral less club and finally justice is starting to prevail.

Doing a fine job with the best youngsters ever.

I was listening to open all mikes on and off and I'm sure I heard them say that hearts couldn't string two passes together. Good job Gary!

I also heard someone spit the dummy, say it wasn't fair and that hearts basically shouldn't bother with the rest of the season. Some other pratt actually agreed with him. More sob stories from the media...never mind that this is simply a consequence of their cheating.

[Northernhibee]

I'm torn. It's funny to see Gary Locke being pished upon from a great height (and also losing a lot of football matches) but it'd be just as funny to see another outburst from Billy Brown who'd surely get the job.

HEARTS have learned their defensive lessons in recent weeks, according to manager Gary Locke, who expects a much meaner rearguard to take the club into the New Year. (http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hearts/gary-locke-hearts-have-learned-lessons-1-3247463)

Imagine how bad it would have been today if they hadn't learnt those lessons........

IMHO this is going to get much, much worse for these Yams. Most teams will still see them as a "big match" and will try their nuts off against them. All other team will have a lot to play for - avoid 2nd bottom, top 6 or Europe and there will be no mercy for the Cheatin' Yam. Enjoying every minute of this :greengrin

[GreenCastle]

Looking at their previous 5 games reads - Goals For: ONE Goals Against NINETEEN



Against Killie in last few games.. - goals against 16 - For 1

If only our derby record read like that !

Does John Robertson not work at the yams now ? Why was he on the radio today then? Sure he was on the pitch at ER earlier in the season after the cup game? :confused:

Hearts will attack Kilmarnock :greengrin

[weecounty hibby]

I hope he does resign. He will be getting paid next to nowt. Get someone in who will take a decent wedge and get them closer to the edge of that financial cliff that we want them to drop off. Contrary to the popular belief in the hearts loving media that team is total **** and Sir Alex as manager and Wenger as assistant couldn't keep them up. Relegation closely followed by liquidation please. As quick as possible for both!!!!

[paul_hfc3]

I remember only a couple of weeks ago the Scottish Media and Hearts fans saw him as an ideal manager and he was a well made decision to be at the helm. Now hes being questioned to be sacked, soap oprah.

[Sergey]

0-2 at HT to Partick Thistle is really showing this guys class.

He must be gutted that he missed out on the New Years Honours list as he'd receive a knighthood if I was handing them out.

[truehibernian]

Glad I lumped on Lyle at 12/5 too :greengrin freeeeeeee money :agree:

[CraigHibee]

i hope locke stays, he is doing a splendid job at hearts :greengrin

[SanFranHibs]

Glad I lumped on Lyle at 12/5 too :greengrin freeeeeeee money :agree:

Good call !!!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

In answer to the OP, I BELIEVE the price has been "SLASHED"!

[Saorsa]

They want him gone so IMO it's absolutely imperative that he stays, I suppose they could bin him for that guy that's been places, cannae mind his nae but he's the one that slavers mair pish than there is on foulkes's breeks

[Pete]

It simply isn't fair and they've been punished enough. Lift the ban.

THIS IS NO GOOD FOR THE SCOTTISH GAME!

[iwasthere1972]

Please stay. Doing a wonderful job. :aok:

[CraigHibee]

It simply isn't fair and they've been punished enough. Lift the ban.

THIS IS NO GOOD FOR THE SCOTTISH GAME!

but its good for us watching as the jt's finally get theirs :greengrin

[rosco-hibee]

No. He shouldn't resign. Don't listen to those fickle Jumbo fans, Gary. You're doing a sterling job. I for one am right behind you.

Baaaaaaaaah hahahahahaha.

GGTTH

:flag:

[Flanny boy]

The chappy is certainly consistent you,ll
have to give him that much :worried:

[weonlywon6-2]

Who exactly would sack him anyway ????

[HKhibby]

Keep him...

Let's beat them and sing his name...I also want to see his face when they are relegated.

He's not on much but they can't pay him off.

Plus who wants to come in with relegation a large possibility and life in Div 1 with sevco and possibly Dundee / Dunfermline etc.

He is clueless though and every interview he speaks in I wonder how he has a job as he doesn't sound very intelligent.

Good quote, he is out of his depth...trying to turn it around from 15 point deduction needs someone more than him!

Lets not get too carried away yet,they are'nt relegated yet...unfortunately!, but all it takes for them to get a decent win and go on a bit of a roll for a few games and Ross County, and the rest at the bottom to lose a couple of games and drop points like they do!, delighted Ross County beat St Johnston...but hopefully the thread on here is right...relegated around 15th February! when it is mathematically impossible for them to catch RC or any of the rest!

I cant believe if any of them are saying they will come straight back up again?...no way, they will have Rangers, Dundee and Dunfermline etc.. in the Championship, and we all know Rangers will win that, all the other teams will be able to sign players and have a bit of money...they will not!

[HiBremian]

The equivalent thread on KB is pretty much a 50/50 split. What do y'all think?

The equivalent thread on KB is now pretty much a mirror image of ours :greengrin

[McKenzie]

Drove past Tynie on my way home from work at about 4.25 and seen fans drifting out. Think he is deserving of his own song from the Hibs fans now

[HKhibby]

It's difficult to see who would want the job as it almost guarantees a failure registered on their CV.

This is precisely the reason that Locke should walk away now - he still has sympathy from a number of clubs and may get another offer at some point. If he hangs on and takes a few more tankings then no one will touch him.

Hopefully he stays on!

Hopefully he does stay on!....but who would take that job like you say?...knowone in their present state and with going to be relegated, but if they are in the new championship and the share thing gets resolved in Lithuania and someone buys them and starts from scratch, it might be an inticing new job for someone starting out...but lets go down that road yet, as i do not think the shares thing will be resolved and if that doesnt happen they stand chance of being liquidated!

[Ozyhibby]

Is there any real chance of an administrator sacking a manager?

[hfc rd]

Wonder who the 15 people on this forum that have voted for Locke to resign are? Personally I think he is doing an absolute marvellous job up at the PBS and long may that good work with Billy Struggling Brown continue!

[Phil D. Rolls]

Why waste money on another manager now. They are already down, the new man can't bring in fresh players. What's the point? Locke only got the job by offering to pay Hearts for the privilege.

Our Hero - no one could have hoped he would deliver the goods the way he has.

[Northernhibee]

This thread was started on the 2nd of December.

In all that time Super Gary Locke has managed to pick up a point.

Locke must stay :jmcp:

[Saorsa]

Our Hero - no one could have hoped he would deliver the goods the way he has.Loved the headline that was beside that pic.

"Locke says fans can keep h****s up"


Well he certainly cannae :faf: :faf:

[jdships]

130 posts re the manager of another club ( OK not JUST another club) what a waste of " manpower"
Personally have no interest in the man who he is/was or what he does in the future .
He will, however, live on in football folklore ( just like Albert Kidd ) as the manager who oversaw relegation of a club before the season was three quarters over :greengrin
" Fame comes to those who wait 'tis said !!"

:not worth

"Locke says fans can keep h****s up"


Well he certainly cannae :faf: :faf:

Don't understand it, he dresses the part, struts the technical area, whistles to his players using his fingers, and he even chews gum. He doesn't make excuses, and is fiercely loyal to his players.

I mean, can Billy Brown offer these attributes? I know he's been places, but as the only viable alternative, he can't hold a candle to "Modest" Gary Locke.

Tears of pride welling up.

[bingo70]

I don't think enough emphasis has been put on just how ***** some of there players are.

The game last week I was astounded at just how pish there central defender (McKay maybe?) And callum tapping deserves a special mention as well.

That's nothing to do with age, they were just genuinely awful footballers and at the risk of sounding like I'm sticking up for Locke I don't think it'd matter if they had mourinho in charge.

[truehibernian]

When Billy Brown says he's the brightest young manager in the game up here, people listen :agree: before ****ing themselves :faf:

'Cos you've been places Billy, right enough :aok:

Hearts are down after today, can't see them getting anything from their next run of games either - hindsight is a great thing but they should have got in Jimmy Calderwood after getting rid of McGlynn. Locke is nowhere near, and I mean nowhere near, management material - at any level.

Delighted they appointed him though :greengrin

In their position, appointing Calderwood would have been like putting Jimmy Saville in charge of sex education at a convent school. Calderwood has overspent everywhere he has been.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

I reckon gary locke is the best hearts manager we've had since the legendary edward malofeev

[hibees 7062]

One Gary Locke and one Billy Brown , a must for March at tiny :greengrin

[oramhibee]

Locke must stay! :not worth


One Gary Locke,
there's only one Gary Locke,
One Gary Looooke,
There's only one Gary Locke!

[matty_f]

How's his race to zero going?

[ekhibee]

I know that Locke has his hands tied as far as bringing in players is concerned, and at the start of the season I actually think he did quite well. But I do think it's his or Bluster Brown's job to ensure that the team learn from losing so many goals from set pieces. They're still doing it, and the buck has to stop with them. In truth I don't think he's a bad manager, but I hate him as much as I hate Hearts and that'll never change.

[Aldo]

Away and put out the cones ya ****ing roaster!!

:tsk tsk:

All their mistakes are down to individual errors which they can't do anything about. Billy Brown said so.

Would those individual errors include listening to Brown on the basis that he's been places and done things?
