Hockaday is a cheap option though surely, i thought they wanted someone with a "track record"? He has none

He fits the bill in the sense he doesn't have the "wow, wow, wow" factor  |

It's not about a name. It's about getting someone with experience or pedigree or a track record. IMHO Hockaday has neither and so is another massive gamble, whereas Money does have some of those attributes.
If Hockaday was appointed by Diamandis 99% of people would be moaning like fuck that the cheap option had been appointed.
How much more experience in england does money have than Hockaday as a manager, if it is hockaday i am fairly certain a experienced head maybe brought in with him. possibly someone with alot more experience than Money for example |

Hockaday ruled himself out in todays adver tho so I don't think its worth having the discussion, Calderwood still looks a good bet.

Money has about 4 seasons as a manager in English football.

1993/94 Scunthorpe
2006/07 Walsall
2007/08 Walsall (majority of)
Plus UEFA Pro licence and years of coaching abroad.
Dave Hockaday
18 years of more-or-less constant coaching experience. Helped form the first football academy in England and helped bring the likes of Ashley Young through at Watford.

I'd give Hockaday more support than Money.

If it's an ex-scummer they can fuck off.
Otherwise they'll get my support, I'm inevitably going to be less patient than I was with Malpas to see an improvement on the pitch though. That doesn't mean I expect us to suddenly become world beaters however.
Couldn't put it better myself. |

Fair enough, but why? |

I will give any new manager 123% support, potentially rising to an variable 136.3% support depending on appearances, league position and not being dour in post-match interviews which is apparently a very bad thing.

My support will follow a variable tracker rate aligned to the Bank of England Base Rate.

So you'll be starting out giving the new manager around 2% support, probably falling to less than 1% over the coming 12 months. Best get over to that comments section on thisis  |

Most pundits (economists) now think there is a real chance that Dozno9's support will actually fall to zero before next summer. At this point, he may start supporting Oxford.

I think there is a serious risk of some of your support going into deflation.
Sure you say you'll start of with 100%, but come 5pm tomorrow that may only be worth 99.9%.

Which is why I've started out with a recession-protected 123% to give me some slack as a buffer against that. Of course, I'm running the risk that we experience a period of hyperinflation, sending my support into unsustainable 200%+ levels, at which point I'd probably implode in my seat or simply pop and fly out of the stadium like one of those balloons that fly off making a rude-ish noise. But frankly it's a risk I'm willing to take to get us out of this support recession |
