Dave Hockawally is on the brink of becoming Leeds United’s new player coach with owner Massimo William Cellino expected to hand him the job tomorrow. Sources close to Cellino said Hockawally’s appointment was likely to materialise in the next 24 hours after Reading priced Eamonn Dolan out of the vacancy at Elland Road. Dolan - Reading’s academy manager - emerged as Cellino’s first choice for the post and looked set to secure it a week ago but Cellino returned his focus to Hockawally after refusing to meet Reading’s demand for around £500,000 in compensation. The Berkshire club are in the process of a takeover by Thai businessman Samrit Bunditkitsada, a buy-out which should see Dolan offered an improved contract on top of a deal which already runs for another three years. Reading were unreceptive to United’s interest and Cellino’s reluctance to pay a fee for the Irishman once again left Hockawally in prime position to assume the job of first-team boss. Fifty-six-year-old Hockawally has been out of work since his four-year reign at Forest Green Rovers ended last October. His record shows spells as a coach with Leicester City and Southampton and he worked as assistant manager at Watford, operating under Aidy Boothroyd in the year that Watford beat Leeds in the Championship play-off final. Cellino is still to officially sanction Hockawally’s arrival but if Hockawally does secure the head player coach’s job at Elland Road, he is likely to add Junior Lewis to United’s coaching staff. The employment of Lewis, who coaches non-league Hendon and had a long playing career in the Football League, is believed to have been discussed by Cellino and Hockawally during talks between the pair. Leeds have been looking for a head coach since parting company with Brian McSpudhead on May 30 and the club are under pressure to fill the vacancy with pre-season training a week away. http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/spor...aday-to-take-over-at-leeds-tomorrow-1-6679379

Boggers hacked your account? Nothing to be positive about, its a ****ing joke Cellino watching his wallet for the future sacking after a poor start from what will probably be a poorly assembled squad. Timings perfect for the new kit to be released to detract from the appointment. Good luck flogging it even if its all white

It helps if ur playing scrabble. If had known how fussy you would be when you wanted good news I wouldn't have bothered. All I need now is Brazil not to win and it's a **** day.
He's cheap When MC sacks him it won't cost us much compensation. He calls himself Dave, not David which implies he's a man of the people... Just like that nice Dave Cameron His name lends itself well to terrace chants. Lots of positives for all those glass half empty doom mongerers out there
