What took them so long?
![]() I hope Hockaday enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame. But you'd have to be completely desperate or a few knives short of a cutlery set to go and manage there, so god knows who will be next on the merry go round. In 21 years in charge of Italian side Cagliari, Cellino sacked 35 managers |

This guy is a nutter. Amazing that people like him can buy football clubs.

Hockaday was one of the most bizarre appointments I've ever seen. Plenty of fans predicted he would be gone before the end of August!
Here are some current odds for who will be the next head coach ... Rolando Maran - 1/2 Oscar Garcia - 9/2 Steve Clarke - 6/1 Benito Carbone - 7/1 Paolo Di Canio - 16/1 Chris Hughton - 18/1 Gary McAllister - 18/1 Gianfranco Zola - 18/1 Neil Redfearn - 18/1 Transfer news: It does look like Adryan, 20-year-old Brazilian attacking midfielder, is going to sign tomorrow. |

Didn't think he'd be sacked after losing to Bradford, a cup game, but I did believe he'd go if we lost the Bolton game this weekend.
Still, was a crazy appointment, maybe it was an experiment that didn't work, but as said above, who'd want to manage Leeds now, especially with the 35 managers in 21 years stat. |

If you get sacked you get a pay off. If you do bad most of the criticism will go to the Board and owner. If you do well other teams will be interested in you and essentially improve your career in management. I wouldn't mind applying for the job.

So since we sacked the village green cosch
Our record reads played 3 w 2 d 1 l o And this is under an acemdey coach, who got team playing as team and we got some pride back and disapline too , so whilst we get linked with everybody from Robbie fowler to Alex Sabella, a man born in Barnsley seems to be doing very well indeed |

Just to add.............I think Cellino is doing exactly what was needed at our club and long may that continue.
![]() It's great to see so many young, ambitious players lining up for us now who really seem to have bought in to the ethos of the club already - a massive chance compared to what we've had in recent years. |

Agreed, he's been a breath of fresh air, he's clearly made some mistakes (e.g. Hockaday) but overall I think we're definitely moving in the right direction. The key thing is that the team on the pitch seems to be improving, both in terms of performances and attitude.

What's the bet that female judge in Italy (who's report we are waiting on) will use every word in the dictionary on Cellino......bar the one important word.............'DISHONEST'.

Good to hear you think the same Coen, The club was rotten from top to bottom before Cellino arrived.

On the playing side he's been bringing in players who are largely unknown over here but are young, talented and ambitious. Because of this are seemingly not expecting massive wages to come here but are happy to work on the basis that if they're successful they will be rewarded via bonuses etc. The sort of players who don't have much of a reputation at the moment but are looking build that reputation with us. This sort of approach will always mean some element of risk, and with Hockaday he clearly got it completely wrong. But Milanic is in a completely different league to Hockaday in terms of his playing and managerial experience and he's a young, ambitious manager. I was dubious about Cellino's approach as well to start with but on the playing side it looks to be working out pretty well so far, so I'm willing to give Milanic a chance. |

Looks like the issue of the court ruling is back, apparently the judge actually issued the written judgement back in July but the Football League didn't think to ask for a copy.
http://www.theguardian.com/football/...evasion-ruling Who knows where this leaves us but Cellino's camp seem to be arguing that because the ruling is still subject to appeal then there isn't a final outcome until the appeals process is exhausted. Which could take some time. |
