Hockaday gone

[Seagull on the wing]

Cellino will now chuck mega £s at Tony Pulis....

 

[Guinness Boy]

Glad we played them while he was boss. Kick started our season.

I liked this quote from their forum when asked who they wanted for the next head coach:

"Anyone desperate enough to need three months' work!"

i do find myself wondering what sort of clown you have to be for the FA to find that you aren't a fit and proper person to own/buy a club

I'm sure 'Nerd' from Zippos would do a wonderful job

And some people hope FFP will be policed properly...

The FA found that he wasn't fit and proper, a decision that was overturned on appeal by an independent QC.

Exactly! Complete farce from top to bottom.

Leeds United

I have never known a football appointment to be so doomed from the start since Dick Knight appointed Martin Hinshelwood.

Some people realise that FFP is an initiative from the Football League, not the FA.

3 months might be a tad optimistic

 

[Danny-Boy]

There is no way Oscar will go to Leeds, but I can see him at Fulham.

You'd have to be desperate to go to Leeds, Oscar does not strike me as someone who is desperate.

Pulis ain't desperate, but he's available...

 

[Rod Marsh]

Chris Hughton would be a sensible appointment. I'm not sure Leeds will do sensible though.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Who in their right mind - apart from Paolo Di Canio - would coach Leeds whilst that Italian buffoon is in charge?

 

[Juan Albion]

3 months might be a tad optimistic

You think that's optimistic? What about this other quote from their forum...

"Oscar Garcia would also be a genius move to make! very similar to Mauricio Pochittino in tactics and is in total control of his team, which is what Leeds need at this point. A Strong Leader. Best Choice By Far!!"

 

[Rugrat]

3 months might be a tad optimistic

As I said elsewhere Leeds have found a new meaning for Manager of the Month!

They might even raffle December amongst STH's as some sort of seasonal gift

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Who in their right mind - apart from Paolo Di Canio - would coach Leeds whilst that Italian buffoon is in charge?

Michael Appleton.
The man who interviews as well as anyone in the game ( after all, thats what impressed Cellino about Hockaday ) All power point presentations and positivity. Perfect.
Except for one thing....he is out of his depth. Perfect. The ideal replacement. After jumping ship at Pompey, he was quickly sussed out by Blackburn and Bolton. But no...the old interviewing technique got him the gig at Oxford and he has successfully steered them to the foot of Div.2.
No other candidate worthy of consideration. Appleton's the man!

Right mind - DiCanio

 

[Change at Barnham]

BBC Breakfast News suggesting Oscar Garcia and Steve Clarke are both in the frame.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Surely things are not such a shambles at Palace, that Clarke would turn them down, then agree to join Leeds!
