[jamie the seagull]

"Cellino says he had decided to sack Hockaday yesterday and was ready to do so until he spoke to Hockaday about half an hour ago. #lufc"

"We lost yesterday because of one shit mistake from Bellusci. I see that now. I didn't see it that way yesterday."

Must be great to be a Leeds fan

The guy is clearly totally Bodmin.
Take away the funny side of it and he really should not be allowed anywhere near a football club, there should be rules about this.
Playing games with peoples livelihoods at a whim.
I feel very sorry for the manager and for the first time the supporters of Leeds United.
Backward idiots they may be, but they are great supporters of a club with tradition (good & bad)
He must be thick too, because any decent manager would surely not go anywhere near Leeds with this prat in charge.

What a farce.

Almost feel sorry for the Leeds fans. Almost.

Have you been drinking or are you ill ?

Leeds DON'T sack Hockaday - though why he would want to stay is baffling - other than the money.

 

[Don Tmatter]

'Why would he want to stay?'
Hes never ever going to get a chance to manage at above L1 level again. He's a non league manager who won the lottery, makes you wonder how many other championship jobs he applied for but wasnt deemed a sensible candidate. He must pinch himself every day to make sure he's not dreaming. Nevermind Trigger, if the Albion ever put a joke like him in charge, I'd do serious time for whoever appointed him.

Lasted more than 44 days. Young Cloughie anyone? :joker:

He didn't even apply for the Leeds job, he was approached!

Can we save this thread for later in the week? Let's face it, it's inevitable.

I dunno. I seem to remember several times back in the withdean era (and possibly after Oscar left) where the club talked about us receiving 50 serious applications. I would imagine there may be a couple of non-league managers in there (especially during the withdean era).
