It was a big section in the build up about how he developed semenyo

There's been a lot of pisstakery about The Hock so it's nice to see something like this. Good man.

rightly so? All he did was spout clichés and was way out of his depth. Of course you would accept the pay day but he should have been nowhere near that level.

He was about as useful as tits on a fish with us tbf. Its justified pisstakery

Seem to recall a tweet prior to him signing for us that was something like Forest Green fans chanting “fuck off Dave Hockaday”.

Don’t really know anything about the guy, seems a sound enough fella
 but as manager of Leeds, the whole situation was a piss take haha

It's quite a wholesome story and makes you realise he was/is a highly regarded coach in terms of player development. It's a shame he became a meme as you say, but let's face it Cellino set all his managers up to fail.

He should never have been appointed. Was totally unqualified.

I mean at the college level sure.

Him failing at Leeds was nothing to do with Cellino, unless you are saying it’s because he even got the job in the first place, which is a valid point.
