True and he transformed the football we were playing over night and kept us up.
However your cant keep sticking plasters on it. If DH came in did well kept us up.
Next season would be failure again.

And if he's been interviewed prior to arriving, and understands the priority of academy....which means we must NOT go down, SW must appoint.....'til end of season.

I think you referred to losing 7 out of 8 and having to leave Forest Green Rovers in the premier conference then not having a job for 8 months as progress.
However I was been serious, what makes him a candidate for CCFC two divisions above.
That would be like someone in mid table in our division losing a load of matches gets asked to leave. Doesn't have a job for 8 months then their next job is Villa?

Nope, I pointed out the gaining experience and obvious club progression.
After all, if a man can have a distastrous finish to their time as Hereford manager, have nearly a decade out of managing a team, and then end upo managing a top flight club...
We're too quick to pre-judge in this country. He may not be the right candidate, but he's being judged because he's not a 'name'. It's the self-fulfilling prophecy that would make Sillett a failure were he to take a job in equivalent circumstances nowadays.
I'd far rather somebody who has prior experience rather than AN Other former player. It's only in football this ever happens, that people get parachuted in because their face fits.
Well... football and the landed gentry!

No I agree with you I also want someone with experience.
However I mean relevant experience like Gary Johnson. If they are to come from two divisions below then I want them to be a shining star not s failure two division below sorry

You need some context around that though. They were favourites for promotion.

It was considered a bizarre decision when it happened.
The explanation for it was they had a good dinner together.
He was sacked after 6 games
Hardly a success story in my book

Not really. Overwhelming favourites would have been Wrexham and Luton. Then you probably would have had the likes of Fleetwood ahead of them. Sure, a decent budget came with a new owner, but they've never been the powerhouses of that league.
Of more concern isn't his Forest Green record; it'd be perfectly fine to consider a manager on the back of that. Rather, he's probably only here because his profile was artificially raised by Leeds... which suggests little consideration in the thought process going on. If they'd have taken him pre-Leeds that would be reasonable, but I suspect such considerations won't come to the fore.

I think he is here till at least the end of the season. I think SISU had this in mind all the time. Why do they now need to add another wage when they are trying to curb spending .... plus they have just employed Hockaday and a new manager might not want him around so they would have to get rid of him as well.
Not anymore,most likely out of work

he is already talking the talk....
""I've got to happy as we have come to a strong Nottingham Forest side and we should've won the game." Coventry City's Dave Hockaday, who lost 2-1
Which is how we got George and John.

Couldn't agree more - he was sacked from Forest bastard Green and stumbled into the Leeds job because of who he knew and would allow Cellino to call the shots.
Hockaday is in no way suitable to be managing in the Football League, it was farcical decision for him to get the Leeds job and they should be a complete uproar if he gets this job, he will take us down like the Titanic.
Lots of you on here have called for Pressley's head - well now we're here, with bloody David Hockaday in charge and absolutely no clue of who would realistically take us.. I've heard people saying they want Nigel Adkins, Mark Warburton, Mark Robins - there is fucking absolutely no chance they would even open an email from Coventry City, never mind consider managing us.

I think you have it right there.. if nobody has been lined up already then what should we think of Mr Waggots ability to strategise? Dear lord, it is shambolic.

Wow "Hockaday"..you guys on here are amazing..you've found someone else to potentially blame already.
No doubt when he can't do anything when he hasn't got anything to work with to start with he will get you're vocal disapproval.
Nobody wants this job..so what are we going to do now?

There's plenty on Hockaday if you look on You Tube. There are Leeds fans singing in one voice that he's "getting sacked in the morning" and even one with the Forrest Green fans chanting the same. There are sports programme interviews where pundits are saying that he is a coach and not a manager and that there is a big distinction between the two. It was being said that if a game needed to be changed tactically then he wasn't neccessarily the man to be able to do it. Also that he is not the sort who could look into a mirror and say that he had changed it his way and that it was proven to be the right way. He was awarded the Leeds job because he was prepared to do what ever their chairman Massimo Cellino asked him to do. Cellino made the decisions to bring in some Italian players that Hockaday new nothing of and so he subsiquently failed after only 6 games. He doesn't appear to have a strong enough character to be at the helm of a football club and would perhaps be better suited to the coaching roll that he is more familiar with.
For me he would be a poor choice and should only to be used for a very short interim period of time.
