What are we to presume from today's news?

That SISU have to now pay off SP's wages just to replace him with Hockaday? in February? Or have SISU really done the right thing here and decided to not risk relegation under SP's helm and try someone else? You'd imagine McFarlene will leave, so Hockaday a good replacement for Assistant Manager, or he just keeps the role he has at present if a new man comes in?

SISU and co obviously have acted because they do not want us relegated this season, why else would they sack SP? If they were never bothered about relegation?


You'll never see a thread like this again with someone who actually agrees with a SISU decision.


I really believe they'll bring someone one in, others don't.

Either way someones going to be right.

They will start the search for a new manager, if Hockaday manages to do well in the meantime he will probably get it till the end of the season. If they don't do well they will appoint a new man.

That's a big risk. Considering we have only 3 months to save the season and the future of this club. Should we risk hockaday?

Which is why i don't understand some people today thinking SISU have gone for the cheap option, today wouldn't of been cheap for them, and they obviously don't want CCFC dropping into League Two.

If they pull it off and we stay up, they deserve some praise. If SP did make all the signings, then his sacking was overdue.

We couldn't afford not to change managers.

Fair enough for me. The important thing is to drag ourselves up towards mid-table. I don't care if it's Hockaday or anyone else as long as they do it.

Anyone will be a risk.

Talk on the radio the other day that Lamberts contract termination would only be 3 months if he dropped into relegation zone.

You have to think SP had something similar for them to give him a 4 year deal and stand by him until the minute he drops into relegation zone.

If that's the case, something like 3 months pay is nothing. In reality, they have prob just reduced their outgoings by doing what they did today.

I think there would definitely be some performance related clause where they could sack, whether it would be 3 months, 6 months, 12 months pay off who knows.

What experince does he have in a league 1 relegation battle? He managed to techniqually get forest green relegated with one of the biggest budgets in the conference. Cheap option but do we expect with sisu?

Hockaday is in temporary charge, he's not our appointed Manager yet, also he's not even had 1 game to show us what other people see in him.

We just need someone that can pick the best 11 players and 5 subs for each game and set them up in a decent formation. The rest is up to the players. The problem is I'm not sure he's been here long enough to perform this role. He may have to get advice from the most senior players. I still see us being relegated, so we'll need a good manager to get us back up and that wont be Hockaday.

Hopefully he's seen enough of Turgott to let us see him at last. He HAS to be positive. PUSB

The trouble is, we hardly have any senior players left! Webster in terms of experience. Fleck in terms of time at the club. Sheesh, Barton is probably classed as a senior player too. We hardly have any stand-out characters, do we? Where's a Killer when you need one?
