Wiki says he was put on gardening leave in Jan 2009 before being released in Maythis year - did he do something wrong ???

 

The rumour is that he questioned Lowes methods - about just kids and the need for experienced players, so lowe kicked him out.

 

Also webster the same, as he questioned the signing of forecast as he didn't rate him as a goalkeeper - he was let go too.

 

As i say, they're just rumours - but i wouldn't be surprised if they're that far from the real truth.

I think in the Poortvliet interview that was translated on here a while back, Jan himself claimed to not know why Hockaday and Webster had gone. JP made it seem like a case of 'suddenly they weren't at the club anymore'.

Both proven to be right with hindsight, although one wouldn't have needed much foresight to have imagined that they knew what the outcome of the mad experiment or the potential of Forecast would be.

Webster and Lowe had fallen out way before Forecast came on the horizon. I understand Webster wanted a move back to Ipswich last summer (before Forecast was bought) and Lowe blocked it as he wanted a fee from Ipswich (who baulked at the prospect). It was downhill from then on!!!!

 

As for Hockaday, then let's just say from all I have heard the Revolutionary Coaching Set Up was in disarray from about Day Two, with only Henderson keeping his powder dry!!!!!!

 

(and it wasn't as a result of him going for the Swindon job last year)
