hockaday will be appointed as new coach and cardiff have offered 7 mill plus a player for ross
1.) Garry medel and + 3m done. Or stephan calulker swap done. Wouldn't happen but sure their to good deals.
2.) Oh really let's see what really happens soon
3.) Does anyone think that Hockaday has the ability to take a club the size of Leeds to the next level?, i'm all for backing whoever gets the job but having seen his CV it doesn't inspire much confidence or hope for the future, couple this with the vast amounts of money the relegation sides get and you can see what were up against, the job has destroyed a few managers already, seems a strange choice, four years at a non league club and didn't get above mid table, important job, hope Cellino gets it right first time, if its Hockaday think his reign will be short.

Hockaday is not a manager he is a coach. There is a massive difference. I would have preferred Paul Clement but it is MC's decision and I am prepared to support him. Let's face it nothing else has worked in the recent past.
5.) Maybe mc wants that so he can keep his tradition and sack his coaches, god I hope I'm wrong
6.) Have to agree with you Rhino, he does not have a good record as a manager or coach. He trained under Graham Taylor at Watford, so are we going to be playing long ball? He was sacked by Watford when a number of senior players complained about the style of play. Relegated in his first season as Forest Green manager. His best ever finish is 10th. God help us!
7.) I forgot, it will all be ok as he is bringing Junior Lewis with him. Lewis is currently a coach at Isthmian League Premier Division side, Hendon FC.
8.) So it's not Boothroyd . it's his lesser known assistant. can't see this being successful.
9.) May as well have kept McDermott in his tracksuit! this guys record is pretty dreadful
10.) As a ....
{Ed003's Note - Well start a new thread about it that would be placed on banter rather than trolling a rumour thread.}
11.) I for one am very disappointed with the choice of coach if it is Hockaday, surely we can do better, this is MCs first big decision since taking over and it is a wrong one I know everybody says we don't need a manager but a coach but we still need somebody to motivate the team on match day, pick the right team, employ the best tactics, make changes in the game and this I think is done by an experienced manager not a unknown coach who has never coached at this level. I could have accepted a young up and coming coach who has a track record of being successful in a lower league but come on coach of Forest Green.
12.) Is the Hockaday thing serious? Please tell me it's a wind up. Even spellcheck is in shock .
13.) The whole Hockaday thing is getting beyond a joke. Have I just awoken from a long coma to find that we have been relegated to the Conference? Seriously. This really could spell the end. Only ever been in charge of one side, a non-league one, and was sacked! 56, yes, fifty-six years old -so not exactly got obvious potential to improve. I just don't get it, when there's pretty much a whole Football League of managers, assistant managers, first team coaches and youth team coaches to choose from. Bonkers!
14.) Even if cellino splashes the cash on players. Who's going to want to come and play for hockaday?
15.) 17 Jun 2014 23:05:22
Why don't you all stop moaning about hockaday and actually give him a chance?
16.) Well said Craig
17.) 18 Jun 2014 07:35:04
So Wackaday it is, if he is the coach(driver), and coaches the players, WHO the hell picks the team? can't see Redfearn, Gibbs, Naylor, being happy with this appointment tbh? I have thought long and hard about this from every angle possible and for the life of me can't see any positives in this at all? Who on earth is going to want to come to play for our great club? MC obviously doesn't want to pay out for anything, wackaday won't inspire anybody to sign for us, its a mess, if you think there are 92 clubs in england alone? I think who all have managers, coaches, academy coaches, youth team coaches, etc etc this is the best we can do?? Our season will be like Butlins finished by october!
18.) He comes cheap, that's the be all and end all. Salary 50K a year.
19.) Exactly he hasn't even got the job yet and your all throwing your dummy out the pram least give him a season before u all start judging! Had any of u heard of Gary bowyer before he managed Blackburn last year? He didn't do bad did he! Give the guy a chance and get behind him lufc for ever
20.) 18 Jun 2014 09:07:26
I really don't think that we should be giving the guy a chance, this is a top job and the coach should have earned the right to manage a massive club. This appointment is a bit like asking a local corner shop owner to be MD at Tesco! The expectations from media, sponsors etc will be far removed from anything he has experienced in the past, this is a global name that he will be fronting as coach, have a look at that vid on the net of the FGR fans wanting rid of him, there are about 1.000 there! Sorry but this is doomed to fail!
21.) I agree with some of the comments re Hockaday, but as the role is not a manager then MC looking for different things in a coach so guess it was never going to be high profile.
The way MC has treated coaches in the past seems to imply they are not that important to him, the Director of football and himself are the key to buying players. This works abroad and some big premier clubs have this type of approach even if they do have higher profile managers/coaches.
As we are a championship club we have to spend money wisely, so for me I will support who ever comes in, judge by results even if at this stage it does look a bit odd.
Think the next 2-3 weeks we need to get in 3-4 quality players, if someone bids 8m for Ross I would sell cause then we could get 3 quality players at championship level for sure.
Looking forward (as always) to next season.
22.) Why can't everyone just get behind Hockaday he can't do an worse than some of the so called well know managers we've had recently. and as for players not coming to the club because off his CV. I want players t the club who wants to play for Leeds not who wants to play for a manager. would Noel Hunt or Paddy Kenny off come to play for the club? And if Hockaday does come he will be head coach, a part off a team and who knows what caches we have lined up. let's all just get behind the club and all work together and get the club back where it belongs.
23.) Why don't you all stop moaning and see if it is actually him that's announced as LUFC new coach!?
24.) 18 Jun 2014 12:39:29
i agree craig. is january everyone moaned when mc sacked bm but then after a month everyone was calkubg for him to be sacked so he proved everyone wrong so ehats to say he won't do it again

david haigh will be released today
1.) Shame
2.) On bail, pending trial?
In the clear?
Can't hold him any longer?
Haven't seen anything about this.
3.) Still waiting. I thought it was a special day in Dubai today so wouldn't be released till earliest teusday
4.) Dubai Police said that Haigh has been referred to the Public Prosecution for trial on charges of breach of trust.
Police said GFH Capital had filed a lawsuit against Haigh for embezzling AED23.7 million, adding that the company discovered irregularities when it conducted its annual internal accounting audit.

spurs are interested in astori. celtic are interested in snodgrass. anyone know if we have a sell-on clause?
1.) Doubt it, wasn't Bates still in charge?
2.) 30 Apr 2014 12:55:26
If I remember right I think the only thing in the deal was that if Norwich sell him we are to get first refusal.
3.) If this is true Martyn_g then let's hope they want rid.
Would love to see Snoddy back in our team, he has proved he isn't out of his depth at Premiership level like most Leeds fans said when he left.
4.) I think spurs should concentrate on a decent manager and let him pick his players, whoever chose last seasons In-comings at spurs should be collecing his P45 ASAP
5.) Snoddy wouldn't thank us I we scupper his chances of a Celtic deal. Champions' League vs Championship?

apparently gfh are saying they don't own the club and is cellinos problem now. wtf is going on. this is going to get very messy
1.) I suppose its like if you sell a car to someone and then the new owner gets banned from driving, the car still belongs to them
2.) Dear ed, how can gfh say it is
cellinos responsibility when he does not own the club?is it to do with the alleged agreement that he run the club for 6 months?
{Ed013's Note - Because some of the board members are tools}
3.) 27 Mar 2014 17:12:34
they didn't say that, they just said cellino agreed to pay all expenses of the clubs for 6 months
4.) 27 Mar 2014 17:16:43
I think the time has come for every single Leeds fan out there to lobby against the FL for their shambolic decision to destroy the most loyally supported club in the world.
We all need to march together and create as much fuss, and media attention and show the world what the FL are truly about.
REFUSE TO LOOSE!!!!!
WE ARE LEEDS!!!!!!
5.) For goodness sake, sop blaming everyone else for the mess LUFC finds itself in.
Its the fault of the current administration, and the one before, and the one before, and before that.
The FL are doing what they should do.
6.) "they didn't say that, they just said cellino agreed to pay all expenses of the clubs for 6 months"
I'd have to suggest that this was agreed on the assumption he would get the club, but judging on the way GFH have acted thus far, I think they are probably to blame.
7.) GFH are a disgrace why aren't they under investigation? If we go into Admin again it will set u back years. Do we want to end up like poor Hereford? MOT
8.) As I said before on this site the premier league exits because the FL were holding the big clubs back, its what happens when you have rival chairman on the board. I would love to know harveys personal view on this seeing he oversaw the sail to GFH and also blocked cellino .

anyone know if we have a sell on clause for snodgrass as 4 prem teams are in for him
1.) 23 Jun 2014 19:11:43
probably not. but if there is, its probably owned by haigh or gfh so we get nowt. let them have it.
time to move on its a new era, a new coach that I have my reservations about but willing to get behind 4 the sake of lufc. let's kick ass once more and prove why we are the best supporters in the country once more.
18 Jun 2014 12:48:44
anybody know what the shortest time a coach lastest under massimo at calgiari
1.) This guy has to be in the running. There are lots of coaches that did 3 months only Attilio Tesser– Jul 1 – Aug 29 2005
2.) 18 Jun 2014 17:28:43
He sacked 1 coach 3 times in 1 day
3.) If I worked in the office at leeds I would make sure I had lots of P45's in the stationery cupboard

1.) Newcastle then jez
14 Jun 2014 18:01:24
astori has agreed to sign and will be made captain as ross is going to newcastle
1.) Ill take that if its 7+ plus one other great player. then take the 2 italians as stike force
2.) 15 Jun 2014 11:42:32
Luigi and Mario?
3.) 15 Jun 2014 14:40:36
Newcastle won't be spending any money, so they won't be signing Ross. Astori will not go to the Championship.

good to hear from you untouchables
Any names astori?
He is going back to miami
I like a carbone pizza. it is folded
Not going to happen. would love it because he's a great player. massimo has had to buy young prospects and sell them at a profit. 5000 crowds. that's like halifax with a full house surviving in the premier league
