BREAKING: Hockaday stays

Believable46 Unbelievable22

What a joke! our once great team is fast becoming a laughing stock so if we get beat by Bradford hockaday still stays OMG

Agree2 Disagree0

Dont know why he not going to be sacked

Agree3 Disagree1

Doesn't deserve to be sacked. Fair play Cellino, admitting that he is too blame

Agree9 Disagree2

I said this before you can't sack a man who is sackless

Agree0 Disagree5

Martyn
Look back on your previous comment and reply before calling other people SACKLESS!

Agree0 Disagree0

He will go soon enough. This is a warning shot. He will be gone by late September IMO.

Agree2 Disagree1

Why pay 600k for a defender then stick him on the bench, beyond belief

Agree2 Disagree1

Firstly. hockaaday was very pleased with our 4-1 defeat. does that bode well?

2ndly smitchell8 doesn't deserve to be sacked fair play cellimp admitting that he is to blame. yes for hireing hockaday keeping him is worse two wrongs don't make a right.

lastly. fans of leeds you have two choices. MC was posied to sack hockaday. you can support hockaday and see if that helps us get points (it hasn't so far) of you can kick up a fuss, boo, chant all game long and try and force MC's already posied hand. one will help leeds get points the other wont. Hockaday out whoever supports hock now is just wrong and doesn't want what is best for leeds. the man is a joke he is happy to lose 4-1 force MC's hand make hockaday's position untenerable. you can all do it. get on hocks back 90 minutes of slagging the man for what he is will force MC to correct the mistake he has addmited he has made

Agree3 Disagree4

Booing will not help anything in anyway, MC has made fair comment, you can't judge Hock until he has had a decent chance to know players & work with them. which players are his regular starting line up, he can't know that until spending is finished this window. MC we know doesn't suffer fools so please giive things a bit more time to see if Hock can pick a regular starting eleven and stick with a formation.

Agree4 Disagree2

I judge hock on what he has done before leeds and during time in leeds. both not good enough hock out don't see any other argument for it, do we have to get beat by bradford for you all to boo, do we have to get religated? at forest green they hated him must be for a reason? let's not wait long enough to really pay price, we have already seen the hock in action. that said I agree with him I was also very pleased with our 4-1 defeat hock speaks sense

Agree2 Disagree1

Andy what previous comment would that be? Mind you I was shocked reading one of yours saying you have said all along that the hock was out of his depth? Rich coming from the president of the dave hockaday appreciation sociaty

Agree2 Disagree0

I for one are happy he stays. Does anyone think we were going to win all our games? what we got 11 in 17 out the first few months were always going to be tough.

However I do agree playing Austin Murphy and tonge in the centre didn't work last year and it is not working this year. That surely has to change.

Was his substitutions wrong I think bit of damed if he did damed if he didnt.

his idea of going to a 4 4 1 was sound in principle just was never going to work with that 3 in midfield. However if he had gone for a 3 4 2 and lost we would be still on his case.

I said I would give him 10 games and that's what we all need to do.

Just because we don't believe in him he still deserves our support at least for 10 games.

Agree3 Disagree2

Booing makes all the difference. far more than cheering, cheer we will still get turned over. boooing and getting on hock's back let's MC know he is losing the fans, no chairman can lose fans. it will force MC's hand and make MC think about his next appointment as he knows we will not suffer fools gladly somthing a few of you seem happy to do. Hock is out of depth. He failed in none league with the biggest budget in the league. If he was good at forest green I would say give him a chance but he wasn't forest green hate him and got him sacked (by chanting hock out all game) when are leeds fans going to wake up and see the same. no point giving someone a chance when they have nothing to make anyone think he has a chance. Seems very navie and stupid to me. supporting hock or saying give him time is as silly as giving him the job. might as well just say leeds lose heavy every week until he goes. save your ticket money

Agree1 Disagree1

Martyn you wrote a comment on the banter page yesterday
"how can you even back him now AndyMOT?"

IF YOU READ my comments carefully you will see I ALWAYS said get behind MC, LUFC and the HOCK when the season starts and give everyone a chance.
If he's not good enough MC will show him the door.
I NEVER said the Hock was a good coach and NEVER said I wanted him. I said he was our coach and to give him a chance (as anyone that's hired deserves)

READ CAREFULLY THEN THINK BEFORE YOU PRINT MATE

Agree0 Disagree0

Martyn
Please feel free to show me when I praised the Hock!
You will find me praising MC for saving us from Admin but not the hock my friend.

Regards AndyMOT
MCs appreciation society president ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

MC said going from Calgari to Leeds was like going from a Fiat to a Ferrari, unfortunately he has a bloke in charge who has only ever driven an X reg Corsa.

Agree0 Disagree0

To stick up for andy mot he has always said he didn't rate hock just said give him time. although I don't agree with give him time. also anyone thinking hock should be at our club more than past lunch time today go on popular video uploade website. me-tube. and look up forest green fans hockaday abuse well worth a watch and got some handy chants for us to cheer at every game till hock goes

Agree0 Disagree0

Just hope we start playing our best players. This excuse of we need proven championship players is bull. Who was that team who played with all Mali players they did pretty well. Good players play Austin Murphy and Tonge don't know how to play

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers B
Thanks for reading my posts thoroughly ;)

Personally B I think the writings on the wall for Hock after MCs comments on sunday, I think he didn't sack him as he has NO replacement at hand and didn't want to rock the boat this early in the season. Once a replacement is sourced then i'm afraid its BONJOUR (as delboy) would say ;)

Agree1 Disagree0

Andy before you accuse me of not reading texts properly put your glasses on mate because saying you can't sack someone who is sackless is an old saying for some one who is thick and it was intended as a joke but obviously the sackless ones must of misinterpreted it you might be better concentrating on building up your fan base of the hock fan club than picking fault with everything I put because it seems to me you obviously have a problem with me!

Agree0 Disagree0

Day one I said hock was wrong and you jumped down my throat to defend him so that's when you backed him Andy, I understand give him a chance but obviously I set my sights higher than you ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

I was been sarcastic Andy if you hadn't noticed I think hock is a complete waste of space at this level

Agree0 Disagree0

Hockaday is staying as our head coach according to Phil hay who has spoken to cellino

Believable24 Unbelievable12

24 Aug 2014 21:53:33
Cellino told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "Yes, I decided to sack him. I said 'he's finished.' But I learned a long time ago to wait on a decision�for 24 hours."

"If I fire the coach I should fire myself because I haven't signed enough good�players. How can that be his fault."

Glad that's all cleared up then. DH position untenable surely.

So any more players coming in after Sloth and Adryan sign up? Who's on way out?

Neil Redfearn is expected to become the care taker head coach .

Believable27 Unbelievable40

Very probably but his managerial record is worse than Hockadays!

Agree2 Disagree1

Hope it's not for long. He is part of the old brigade helping to provide little in the way of excitement or creativity (except in the wrong box)

Agree2 Disagree0

I hope not, he is doing a good job with the reserves - and I do not want him to get the sack which is inevitable for the next six managers/head coaches at LUFC. How are we going tp get a decnt boss if a sacking is the only guarentee

Agree2 Disagree2

24 Aug 2014 12:43:17
Hope Redfesrn stays as is after Caretaker v Bradford. New coach Gary Mac? Was at Brighton game and I'll throw John Sheridan in to pot. He would love job and we would love one of our own back.

Agree3 Disagree1

just read cockupaday says he needs 4 players with championship expereince well byram pearce warnock austin murphy tongue shall I go on he said he's getting more out of the players than anybody else could . i'd like to nominatd him for the ice bucket that would be the best thing his done all season the other GET OUT OF LEEDS

Agree0 Disagree2

Hope so, as he would probably play cook, dawson and mowatt instead of the tedious and sub-standard performances of Austin, murphy and tonge who in all honesty would be pushed to get into a league 1 side

Agree2 Disagree0

24 Aug 2014 18:56:39
Redfearn will never be the answer as he has proved twice before.

Agree2 Disagree0

last time he step in we beat huddersfield 5-1 the day b mc was so sack hopefully it will happen to hockaday and he won't come back cm says cutting costs hence a cheap crap coach to save cash but not helping LEEDS UTD and fans have had enough we all know mc doesn't but then WAKE UP b4 fans turn on you as well

Agree1 Disagree0

It was Gibbs who was in charge.
