Saint Bri Posted 17 December, 2008 Author Share Posted 17 December, 2008 I'd heard he'd made it to the final 5 and they were meeting the final 2 today. He's obviously not part of that then, but he must have had talks with them to get that far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Bates Posted 18 December, 2008 Share Posted 18 December, 2008 (edited) Saint Bri is correct, Hockaday in the last 2. Swindon hope to name Southampton academy director Dave Hockaday or his Newcastle counterpart Richard Money as manager, BBC Radio Swindon understands. Reports have suggested former Walsall boss Money has already left his post at St James' Park. Dave Byrne has been in caretaker charge of the Robins since the departure of Maurice Malpas on 14 November. Town have refused to comment on these claims but hope to name the new boss in time for Saturday's game with Yeovil. The club said earlier on Thursday they are confident they have got the right man, but admit he may not have the 'wow' factor of some of the people they have talked to. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swindon_town/7785320.stm Edited 18 December, 2008 by Master Bates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted 19 December, 2008 Share Posted 19 December, 2008 Hockaday will be a bigger loss than people expect should he get the Swindon job. As a coach, he is very highly thought of and the youngsters in the team are big fans of him. In fact, he tends to have more of an input with the goings on at St Mary's than people would imagine.

Master Bates Posted 19 December, 2008 Share Posted 19 December, 2008 And Hockaday may get another interview as Swindon look to "re-start the process, following a frustrating week of trying to finalise an appointment". http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~1494054,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give it to Ron Posted 19 December, 2008 Share Posted 19 December, 2008 Now this made me smile given old rosey cheeks history of getting good deals. "An announcement was expected in the current week, however in the final stages it proved more difficult than originally anticipated to negotiate acceptable terms for the candidate to leave his current club."

um pahars Posted 19 December, 2008 Share Posted 19 December, 2008 In fact, he tends to have more of an input with the goings on at St Mary's than people would imagine. Not me!!!!! I pointed out a while back that my little moles inside SMS were saying how big a part Hockaday plays, and how he has Lowe's ear big time. Now this made me smile given old rosey cheeks history of getting good deals. "An announcement was expected in the current week, however in the final stages it proved more difficult than originally anticipated to negotiate acceptable terms for the candidate to leave his current club." And just as Lowe demanded a "transfer fee" for Webster in the summer, I reckon that if it is Hockaday they want, then Lowe would be hanging on for a good price. Not just because he always does, but maybe because this time he wants to price Hockaday out of the job as he thinks he is such an integral part (and maybe even our next manager;)). A pi5s5ed off Hockaday may not be a good thing, but maybe the sweetener has been an "I'll see you alright next season" LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
