Gary Locke To Join Hibs?

[Thecat23]

I've posted this in the PB but thought I'd throw this in here too.


Now as wind ups go I'd say this would be right up there with the best of them. But Gary Naismith is telling folk Hibs have offered him a role on the coaching staff for the younger lads.

I'm hoping and praying this is utter pish (pardon the pun) because surely to god both Hibs and Locke won't want to work together? I've posted it in here for obvious reasons.

Please someone tell me Naismith is at the wind up!

[.Sean.]

Can't see it. He hates us as much as we hate him.

[Thecat23]

Can't see it. He hates us as much as we hate him.

This was my exact reply. Surely has to be a wind up?

[Michael]

Not bothered as long as he's a decent enough coach.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Some sort of sparring type role ?

[Golden Bear]

Be prepared for a flood of let's say "unfavourable comments!" but if those in the know reckon his appointment will improve things at ER then that will do me fine.

[.Sean.]

This was my exact reply. Surely has to be a wind up?
Unless he's bitter at getting emptied at Hearts and sees it as two fingers to them.

I hope it's nonsense, I dinny want his ugly pus anywhere near Hibs because he's as Hearts as me and you are Hibs. Please to God let it be a wind-up.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Would be Excellent appointment a weekly scapegoat in the making to deflect the crap from others ;)

[jacomo]

I felt the same about Billy Brown but gave him the benefit of the doubt.

Probably shouldn't have.

But maybe GL has now turned and wants vengeance on the Jambos?

[we are hibs]

he recently signed a new contract at cowdenbeath so I'm calling pish on this one.

[Captain Trips]

I have heard this as well infact I believe he has already been given his own parking space at stadium :

....... right off!

We don't need that fuds poison round here.

[brianmc]

Aww naw.... I hope Wellbankhibby disnae see this thread!

[Greencore]

Why not being back Terry Butcher while we are at it. They can mop the floors.

[Sir David Gray]

I don't know Gary Locke in any personal capacity but from what I've read about him and heard from him through the press, I can't imagine there would ever be any set of circumstances which would persuade him to become a Hibs employee.

[tamig]

Billy Brown was his number 2 at Cowdenbeath too so a chance Locke could sneak him in via the bushes at East Mains again.

[heretoday]

He's just coming in part-time to fix the showers.

[Is It On....]

He's just coming in part-time to fix the showers.

And Ian Black is doing the tiling..

To be fair he is actually a decent bloke. Down to earth, hard working and while he is clearly a Jambo through and through it wouldn't bother me one bit if he joined our coaching team. His dislike towards Levein and Budge would almost be worth it.

staff and it would be a shame to upset it.

His dislike towards Levein and Budge would almost be worth it.to be even fairer, your opinion of this fud means nothing to me . in fact I think you are well off the mark. I think he is a total fud, and would not want him a hundred miles near the club I love .maybe its only me, but there ye go.

[cabbageandribs1875]

my initial thought is of utter repulsion, jumbo jeffries love child can gtf :agree: then again.....the thought of a rabid jamboid taking the hibernian shilling would upset our pink chums :hmmm:








some more thinking needed

[Dashing Bob S]

If he comes as youth coach and produces a talented bunch of youngsters, will they be called the Golden Shower Generation?

If you believe that it's much more relevant to consider what somebody can actually contribute to Hibs right now, rather than obsess about their past, urine bloody good company.,

If there's any semblance of truth about this, it's ridiculous that he should get the chance to use us as a vehicle to give two fingers to the muppets running the club he supports.

[Green Blood]

Ian Catheter been quoted saying its a load of pish!

[AndyM_1875]

Gary Locke is the manager of Cowdenbeath FC.
There is a huge amount of work going on at that club right now to ensure they don't end up in the mess they were in last season so you can dismiss this rumour as silly season talk.

[HibbyAndy]

Its naysmith ;-)

The unpaid analyst role maybe?

[CRAZYHIBBY]

I actually spoke to brown when he was here and he was absolutely delighted to be here.... said that though was a long time hearts man, hibs were a great club and it was an honour to be a part of it

I find it quite sad that someone being brought in to help our youngsters develop would stop you supporting Hibs.

There has 100% been discussions around this possibility with someone from Hibs and Gary Locke. Source - Gary Locke, yesterday. Whether it happens or not remains to be seen.

[Captain Trips]

A great person to show the youngsters how it can all go wrong if you sign for Hearts.

[offshorehibby]

So, if Cock were to come in to manage the 20's what's happening tp Murray & Makel who overall had a good season from what i can see. This is bollocks.

[easty]

Didnae want that trumpet at Hibs at all, and you can multiply that feeling by 50 for Gary Locke. Get him tae ****.

[StevieCowan]

I usually can see the good in most of the things Hibs but I'm struggling in this instance. The thought of Locke being associated with Hibs just makes no sense.

Can you imagine Ian Murray at Hearts, Gary Neville at Liverpool, Ian Durrant at Celtic?

Football is about tribalism and getting one over your rivals, this is feel-good suicide at Hibs.

(If true)

[MWHIBBIES]

Obviously everything changed after the split loyalties stuff.

Then I must just be remembering it through my own opinion of his appointment, cos I did not want him at Hibs.

Gary Locke. Noooooooooo. Hates Hibs. Right up there with appointing Billy Brown

[Since90+2]

Gary Locke should never ever be employed by Hibs in any capacity.

He hates us yet it seems we have offered him a paid coaching role? Leaving aside the fact he hates the club he has also pretty much failed in every management role he has had.

Baffling decision if true.

That's not really an answer though is it? I would be astonished if he ended up with us but it's perfectly valid to ask why he hates us? Hates? Pretty strong term that and lots of players/coaches cross divides.......

Hate in a sporting sense. He is a dyed in the wool lifelong Jambo so he probably isn't too keen on us.

Don't suppose you will listen but Gary Locke is a really good guy (anything but a Tit as you put it )
and would work extremely hard if given a role with our youth set up. Too much emphasis on past clubs doesn 't help anybody and given we have just lost a great talent who was brought up a Hearts man should tell you everything. Locke wouldn't be working with the first team anyway and it sounds like you are looking for an excuse not to buy a season for the the team you claim to support.

[blackpoolhibs]

Of course he would be proud to be part of the best club he will ever get a contract with, yet when we played them in the final, he couldn't come out and say who he wanted to win.

He would be the last person along with cocke who should ever be employed by our club, there are just some people who just cant be at Hibs, and there's two along with the likes of Levein and satchel.

It would make me physically sick to see them wear our gear.

[Since90+2]

I woudnt say hate is a strong term in a sporting sense. Never sung "we hate jam tarts and we hate Dundee"?

[HoboHarry]

Fair to say singing those lines is rather different to turning down a coaching position at a club (hopefully) playing at the top of the SPL as opposed to managing a part time club who finished bottom of all the senior leagues. Wouldn't you say that would be a lacking in ambition decision (salary too most likely) if based solely on the team you played for being from across the city?

[Andy74]

Can't see it but wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

[ian cruise]

So some folk won't go see Hibs if they employ Gary Locke because he hates Hibs. Surely if he hated Hibs that much he wouldn't entertain an offer of employment from us? I can't imagine he'd do anything but his best while in the role (should there be one) as football jobs are massively dependent on reputation. I can't think willfully harming the club you're employed by wouldn't do him any favours for future employment.

[seanoheimhin]

Billy Brown should never have been let through the gates at East Mains. I never disliked Fenlon as much as some on here, but that was a honking decision. Same in this case, hope it doesn't happen.

That being said, this does provide an opportunity to rewatch this...

[portyhibernian]

Not a guy I want to see employed by Hibs in any capacity. Hearts through and through and his record is dismal elsewhere. Would 'dampen' spirits if you ask me.

Isn't there an image of Locke's dad at tiny Tynie giving someone verbals on the touchline? Possibly Lennon? Or Griffiths?

It's all true. He'll be in charge of the showers.

Think it was Lockes brother - who is a grade A fanny.

[WhileTheChief..]

42 clubs in Scotland and he wants to come to us?

Why? To use us until he gets a better gig elsewhere?

If we can't find better than him for coaching our youth then it's time to scrap the youth system altogether.

Is it even conceivable that LD would allow Locke and Naismith anywhere near Easter Rd?

I can't think of a bigger mistake that she could make. This better all be BS.

[Hiber-nation]

No, there was very few complaints on here at the time.



Correct, very few complained. We were in such a mess at the time that a lot of folk thought that he might just be what we needed. Obviously he wasn't....

[BoomtownHibees]

He really isn't. Neither of his brothers are

[Hibby70]

He really isn't. Neither of his brothers are

I beg to disagree. One of them certainly is.

In fact I can honestly say he's one of the biggest ***** I've ever had the displeasure of meeting.

I have no time for hertz or the knuckle dragging element of heir support but if Eddie May/HFC think he would be a good addition to our staff then fine by me!

[J-C]

Was Jason Cummings not Hearts through and through? Pictured doing the 5-1 even?


Yes he was, so too was Whittaker but they came when they were young, Locke is in his 40's and too much water under the bridge for many on here to want him near the club. Is he a good coach? he seemed to bring through a good few Hearts youngsters when he was there, he's probably a better coach than manager.

[Big L]

Was he not in charge of yam colts when Walker, Nicholson etc came thru. If he is coming, it can only be to work with the kids.

[Crab apple]

I can't believe there aren't better coaches out there than Gary Locke. If this is Eddie May's choice then it raises questions about Eddie's judgement. I always thought Eddie was bit lightweight as a player and didn't develop like his contemporaries Kane and Collins but I still see him as one of us. I'll leave it to others to judge his effectiveness in developing our youngsters. He certainly should realise that Locke shouldn't be anywhere near our team. I've seen Locke at Tynecastle after derbies when I've been in hospitality. He hates us and there's was absolutely no humility from him. And remember this is a manager who was largely responsible for relegating one team and nearly relegating another in the same season.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

You'd miss out on an entire season watching Hibs back in the premier league because of someone coaching laddies who would probably not even be seen on match day? Somewhat dramatic is it not?

[Kato]

People laughed when Donald Park was appointed at Hibs. I suppose its case of pishing yourself if this happens. FWIW Parkie grew to love our club.

[Arch Stanton]

Of course, all this exposes the big problem with fan ownership.

Who really wants to support a club run by hysterical nobodies who refer to football professionals as 'fuds'?

Who really wants to support a club run by hysterical nobodies who refer to football professionals as 'fuds'?Conversely, those hysterical nobodies are generally the lifeblood of the club who keep on going to support their chosen team/club throughout the bad years and good years always hoping for magical moments in their club's existence but somehow they keep going whatever the result(s).what can upset them though, is when their allegiance is brought into question, when their chosen club brings in outsiders who are known to be against their club's values and ethos.

[Baw187]

As a couple of folks have said, he might be a dirty Hertz bass but he's actually quite a decent lad. When I was a young gadge at uni I worked at Chiquitos at the Fort and him and Lee Makle and their families used to come in and I served them a few time. Used to have a decent laugh with him. He was pretty down to earth. I've got Hertz mates who are bigger Jambo roasters than him. Doesn't mean they're bad people.

Not convinced he'd want to be employed by Hibs though!!!

[eastcoasthibby]

There must be better out there with a better background than Locke ....are these types of jobs not about not just having really good coaching skills but also having the added bit of really wanting to a good job through an affinity you have with the club ? Where is he going to get that from ?
If this is,happening has Grant Murray been promoted to first team coach ? I believe he is, well rated coaching wise ...

Not having that at all. You could use the same affinity to a club argument for a player too, it just doesn't stack up and your own example of Grant Murray proves it!

[Pete70]

At the end of the day, for Locke it's a job. If he comes in he'll no doubt put his past with Hertz aside and do his best for Hibs, which I'm sure he'll do.
Managers and coaches don't necessarily have to have an affinity or history with the club they're working for. If Lennon thinks he can come in and improve the young lads then that's good enough for me. Us, as fans, just have to give him a chance.

Good.

Seeing his torn-faced Hearts pus in Hibs gear would've been sickening.

He's a Hearts **** and long may it stay like that.

Hoping & praying you're right, would struggle to support a hearts fud like him

[My_Wife_Camille]

Agree with this 100%. Still disgusted that Billy Brown was ever allowed anywhere near our club and Gary Locke would be even worse.

Hes a rancid Hearts **** imo

Locke was at the gym this morning wearing all his Hearts gear. He was chatting to a guy, obviously another Jambo. Locke said he was looking for something full time. I said I thought You were coming to Hibs, the other guy said ffs you wouldn't go to them. Locke shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's a full time position"

Locke leaves cowdenbeath to rejoin hearts

Football season can't start soon enough

After the way they pumped him out the door before, you would think that anyone with any class would tell them to ram it..... oh wait, Gary Locke you say.

He's got something full time, the yams have just made him the Priciple Ambassador for the club. Billy Brown got his job!

[snooky]

Can we think of any other huddies we can say we're after so that Hearts will sign them? - ?
Kinda like 'rope a dope'.

[BSEJVT]

Absolutely delighted that Jambo roaster is going to be nowhere near Hibs

Principal Ambassador to what?

He cant string two words together.

[tamig]

Which amounts to getting pished in hospitality and maybe an occasional tumble down some stairs.

A man clearly with no backbone after being royally shafted by the Levein/Budge dream team. What a plank.

[Www1875hfc]

Hearts just need to add pishy lord foulkes and that's them sorted .
Delighted that Locke isn't anywhere near our club, he's up there beside Houston as a horrible individual.

To be fair it sounds like a great job.

[Famous Fiver]

They seem to think they are on the way up.

Can't wait for the first meeting at Eater Road.

Bring it on.

They'll be on their way down by then

[patch1875]

Maybe need the money he's split from his missus I think.

School fees to pay.

Hell will freeze over the day that **** is welcome at Easter Road

Is that us lost locke? Damn. Reckon we should try for John Mcglynn instead then 😐

[pacorosssco]

Glad not joining Hibs. Hes hearts till the end could never work and I honestly doubt he would ever entertain. Many cross over but few do who are died in wool. I kinda respect Stewart for having balls to.

[BullsCloseHibs]

Gary Locke is quite simply a 'taker'

[WeAreHibs]

A piss taker!

[Libby Hibby]

Locke (Rhyming slang) taker

[johnbc70]

Can we start a rumour we are looking to bring back Konte and entice him out of retirement , he will be a Hearts player within the week on a 3 year deal. Oh and we were going to pay him 5K a week I heard..

[lapsedhibee]

They don't have principles though.

[21.05.2016]

I felt the same about Billy Brown but gave him the benefit of the doubt.

Probably shouldn't have.

But maybe GL has now turned and wants vengeance on the Jambos?

Billy Brown is up there with one of the most despicable, arrogant hearts roasters there is, he should have been nowhere near ER.

Brown has been confirmed as the new manager of Cowdenbeath. I'm lumping a wedge on them going down this season. My son spotted him a couple of weeks ago in Musselburgh and Brown was wearing his Hearts Wonga tracksuit.

What is it between them and Cowdenbeath? Seriously? It's like a graveyard for crap ex yams and look where its dragged them. Only a penalty kick competition against East Kilbride stopped them vanishing. Matter of time.

[jacomo]

Locke is now a Jambassador.

The humiliation is complete. Back at the place that sacked him, begging for sweeties

Was she fed up washing the sheets?

[Carheenlea]

Tragic.

Getting back to Locke, I'm certain he was the player who when out injured spent a derby match at Tyncastle in the pre bus shelter days up at the segregation fence on the terracing. Nothing really wrong with that I suppose, but it did feel unusual to have an opposition player goading fans from the terraces.

:agree: He was sat in the Wheatfield during the Stephane Paille/Yogi red card nil nil bore draw. Spent the whole game goading Hibs fans in the old uncovered Gorgie Road end.

Lots of empty seats in the Wheatfield that day as well.
