EastSideJambo Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Joined us at a fairly desperate time. Conducted himself with dignity. Didn't oversee the calamitous stuff that we witnessed thereafter under Locke. I've always suspected League Cup Final outcome might have been different had that ludicrous change not been made.

Harsh. Think he tried it once in a friendly and signs were good. Tried it an early competitive match and it was a disaster and was never tried again. Should be remembered positively for drawing at Anfield and getting an extremely average team to a LC Final. Negative recollections are his derby record, although how we never won the Tynecastle 0-0 by about 3 is anyone’s guess. It just wasn’t to be for him against that lot. Good luck to him.

Paolo Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) A good coach, but as number one, less so. However, he was often picked on because of how he looked, and not how he done. Edited September 25, 2018 by Paolo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlimOzturk Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I am not correct in saying that he has massive amounts of respect within the game?

Glottis Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 He would have win the LC imo.

We really should have won back to back League Cups in 12/13 and 13/14 imo. McGlynn's team, while not the best, would never have shipped 3 goals to St Midden. Then, giving Locke the job permanently on the eve of the cup final (or pretty close to iirc) was just setting it all up to fail badly!
