What agenda's? So it's wrong now to voice an opinion that the new "manager" is a person who's greatest claim to fame is a mid table mediocrity and sacking from a conference side?
Now, I don't expect, just because we're LUFC that we should have the very best manager at a cost that would probably be inhibitive (is that an actual world? Not sure, but it makes a point I think), but I DO expect a level that can push us in the right direction. So, I'm not going to apologise for wanting a bit better for the club I've been supporting for over 40 years. Not only do we have an owner whose more than a tad "dodgy" at best but we now have a manager whose sdkill set is dubious to say the least. Where is the ambition and were constantly told to shut up and put up. Why??

Exactly. This made me laugh: “I’ll earn their respect, and they’ll have to earn mine,”
As someone has already stated-arrogant prick. As to Hockaday, he seems very calm and confident. Why wouldn't he, he has nothing whatsoever to lose from this ridiculous appointment.
I'll wish him all the best, but that still doesn't take away from the fact that this is probably the most stupid decision to befall LUFC.

Using a mis-quote to form the basis of an argument I would suggest could be viewed as agenda pushing..

From what I could gather he was talking about the players not the fans.
I'm going back to 505, I saw them at Sheffield and they were amazing.

Which, is still highly arrogant of him, imo. Those players have proven their mid table championship mediocrity. He has to go a long way to attain such heights.

Ha ha cheeky

The thoughts of a friend of mine, who is an ex pro, he now manages a conference team.
Ges, what's going on mate? I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I saw he was appointed, you're going to be the laughing stock of football with him there, the bloke is a complete joke, He should have been embarrassed applying for the job . honestly mate I am a world away from managing a team like Leeds but I'd do a better job than him,he can't possibly relate to the players at Leeds, I'll guarantee they'll be no respect for him from the players, about 20 minutes after it was announced my chairman phoned and said, have you seen who Leeds have appointed, what a joke.He then told me a few things that went on when he was at Forest Green, which I won't repeat but they were less than complementary to say the least.
He was appointed because he was unemployed and therefore cost nowt.
Remember Cellino didn't want him, he wanted Dolan but he was going to cost compensation. We have just gone for the cheapest option. Even now, scouts are out at Beeston Job Centre looking for his replacement
Bates, GFH, Cellino: Same s**t, different arseholes.
Awkward moment wsomeone bought up the fans were expecting someone bigger, like Gary Mac. Then had to inform Cellino that he wasnt actually managing anyone and was a free agent....
Cue 5 minutes of Cellino pulling faces like he couldnt remember if he had locked his front door.
Is it just me that thinks there is a resemblance here?
Good luck to David Hockaday, he is certainly going to need it. I will give him a chance as I would with anyone but he is going to have to hit the ground running if he is to get the fans on side.
Those thoughts of a friend don't sound too positive though Ges!!

Like you Liam, I will give him a chance, no option but to really. It was the way my mate said it as much as what he said that made my heart sink.
