Beachbum Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 All just rumour at the moment. This article appeared in Deadline News late last night although it could have been written before the board meeting (if any board meeting did indeed take place). From the article Locke's talking about making changes for tonight. Also, Cuthbert is out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairney Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 The rumour starred on Fantalk last night. A poster called Raith Resident said that he'd heard Locke had walked and his departure would be announced today. Other posters were questioning the timing of this and then someone (sorry forgotten the poster's name) said that they knew that there had been some kind of meeting scheduled for last night, so there could be some truth in it. At someone point the Dealine News article then appeared. Apparently, there hasn't been a Raith TV pre match interview with Gary either. As Beachbum said, all just rumour at the moment... But we live in hope! re: John Hughes at ICT. My memory of events was that he left Caley AFTER Locke had already been appointed. However there we lots of rumours, prior to that, that he would be leaving - though most likely looking for a club down south or with a bigger budget etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 There is also a similar story on Jambos Kickback but as time passes it looks less likely anything will be happening today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably trapped in his office/the door due to a fuckup by either him or the board? #LockeIn Edited February 7, 2017 by Boghead ranter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairney Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Anyone passing Michael Woods today - fancy having a wee spy about and see if he's there? Though, if he isn't, there's a fair chance he could just be giving the players an other easy training session to save their tired legs again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I mean other than a rumour on a forum has there been any actual credible source suggesting it may be true? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairney Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) If there's nothing by 2pm then I'm giving up hope. Bring Back Paddy Flannery - no, just our desperation Edited February 7, 2017 by Nairney 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Would be utterly amazed if we now sacked a manager with a game kicking off in less than 9 hours time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nairney Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I've just had a look on Twitter, Matthew Elder has responded to a tweet saying (something to the effect of) he doesn't expect the club to respond to rumours ahead of such a big game but, according to his sources, tonight is make or break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an insane metric to hold the guy against. This isn't about one game, and even on the incredibly slim chance he pulls some kind of fluky win out the bag, it's not going to suggest he's found some magic formula for turning our situation around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I don't think a one game ultimatum is appropriate. If we win tonight, he should still go as our form/performances have been unacceptable for quite some time. And if we did win, therefore sparing him, how many more defeats will it take for him to go? One would seem harsh, but then so might two. Let it get to three and suddenly it seems that the ultimatum ticker has reset itself. I didn't think we'd can him before a Tuesday night game, but I let my hopes get up and now I'm sad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover1990 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Tonight shouldn't make any difference to their decision.....the season has been a shambles they need to decide is enough enough or do we risk him until the end of the season.....either way the board need to stop messing about! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I read something about him being promised more money after the cup win but that then being withdrawn but I'm fucked if I can remember where I saw that. 3 hours ago, Sonsteam of 08 said: Continually moaned about not being given the budget, when his signings were almost all atrocious and he only had success with Butcher's squad. Grumbled publicly one time too many and duly got punted. Came into this thread having heard the rumours of Locke's departure and stumbled across these posts. This blog gives a good overview of what happened:http://nareystoepoker.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/are-hughes-and-inverness-heading-for.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 So let's say you're a 1st team player. You've no confidence in the manager, no belief he can turn it around and are now worried about relegation and the quality of your own performance. Tonight, are you gonna put in a blinder, because you're a pro and that's what you do, or are you gonna lose a yard here or there and maybe miss a tackle in the hope that if we get beat the manager might go? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Should be no make or break game he has shown over a long period he is hopeless and nothing in his career suggests he can turn it around. Beating Morton in a one off game won't change that. He should be gone either today or tomorrow regardless of the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 So do we boo the place down if we win? Will that be a clear enough messge to the board? One game won't change anything, theres not much hope for Locke even if he did have the players are on side, the fans, quite clearly, aren't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
