Rocky jamboa Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I met JJ at an xmas night out in town. He was there with dunfermline. Such a nice guy and only too happy to chat about Hearts. He was fine with folk getting their picture taken with him. Almost thanking folk for coming to speak to him! Neil mccann on the other hand, who was also there with dunfermline.... bit of an arrogant t**t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have had Locke as coach probably, with the likes of Hammill and Stevenson still with us. I don't think we'd have won the league with that lot. Budge's, and Levein's, initial appointments were spot on, as was our initial recruitment. I'm a massive JJ fan, but he signed his fair share of duds in his time, a few very expensive duds too.

It all went downhill when we got 7 or 8 million of a media company who's name now escapes me. JJ was involved in the highest of highs for Hearts and the lowest of lows results wise.( I won't go into the lows it's too painful) I can confirm the bit about Wallyford primary, he was in my sister in laws class and a couple of years above my wife.

I’v always got on fine with NM , no doubt JJ deserves some sort of recognition at Tynecastle in terms of a stand name or suite name. I thought he was still working with Edinburgh City? He certainly shouldn’t be up for SD or similar with us. An ambassadorial role fair enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love him, I think we remember his stewardship fondly I wouldn't have wanted to be in the dressing room after that Falkirk game.

luckydug Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I can't recall the NY day game quoted in the article. Perhaps the great man is like the rest of us pensioners and getting mixed up with the passage of time😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay James Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Top man is our JJ. Responsible for my greatest day watching Hearts when we won the cup in 98. Levein has left à very good platform for the next manager and SD to inherit but I think needs to be left to fresh eyes and a manager in particular who is in the up. JJ was great in his day but that's now gone as far as his involvement in top level football is concerned.
