Afternoon ristac, gutted we lost. According to LUTV, we deserved to get something out of it. Yeah, but how would Pagliara have heard of him?
Wotzzzup Billy, regarding Allerdyce, if you play with fire.... How any celeb could fall for the foreign arab trick is beyond me. Hang on a minute...
Afternoon Jamster, Ayling plays a lot like a midfielder. I remember a few of the Bristol City lads on here saying just that.
Afternoon Doc, wonder if that's the case whether talksport will get rid of him? (Colin) Still think we need better than Wood, but pleased for the lad that he has 7 under his belt already
Afternoon Wolves, I agree with you there regarding McClaren. Colin must be top. Also Nigel Pearson has been put on gardening leave as of yesterday...
Is seems the Hockaday appointment may be under some scrutiny. It all boils down to The Guardian's expose of big Sam. It seems The Guardian have evidence of many dodgy dealings within the football world. One name which was continually mentioned was Pino Pagliara. Let me share a paragraph of an article Phil Hay wrote in 2014 :- Precisely how Hockaday came to Cellino’s attention has never been explained - a number of sources claim he was recommended by Pino Pagliara, the Italian agent who has been around Elland Road for many months - but Cellino made the decision freely. There were other candidates and other avenues to follow. “I don’t know him but I think he’s a good coach,” Cellin
Afternoon fine thanks. What I had intended to say before abandoning it was. He made " a significant error of judgment" seems to be the excuse these days for greed. It is on a par with being told he did it for his beliefs. He believed he wouldn't be caught.
Seriously though, how can anyone be probing the appointment of Hockaday? Who the **** would bung anyone to secure him as head coach and what the **** would his agent to with £9.99, a family size pack of hula hoops & a conker (not to mention the two pannini stickers of Bobby Moore & Geoff Hurst to get Junior)?
