S_C Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 23 minutes ago, Monkeh said: They are saying holden in the final list If holden gets it I'm done with the club Was thinking a week or so ago that Holden as, essentially, filler, on a 12 month ‘prove it’ type deal isn’t miles down my pecking order. Don't get me wrong, after Gerrard/Hughton it would be hugely, hugely underwhelming but I genuinely believe, contrary to what his appointment would imply, the club are aiming high. If you can't come to terms with the targets you think take you to the next level - Gerrard, Hughton, let’s throw Jokanovic etc in there as well, do you give Ryan Lowe a 2/3 year deal, turn to Robins who you don’t really want, or let Holden carry on in the hope that when a better opportunity presents itself it is no longer needed. I can’t see they’ll give it to Holden, it wouldn’t wash, would scream from the rooftops that we tried and failed with other candidates. I suspect the interview is in part courtesy and could pave the way for him leaving the club with a feather in his cap. But, without doubt, I’d rather they sat tight with Holden than appointed someone they weren’t sold on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soultrader Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 1 hour ago, Leveller said: Bristol City’s hopes of landing Chris Hughton as manager have faded after failing to strike an agreement with the former Brighton boss. Hughton, 61, held talks over succeeding Lee Johnson following his dismissal earlier this month as Championship play-off hopes tumbled, but it is thought the club will look at other options after failing to make a breakthrough with discussions. Paul Cook is expected to be in contention following his resignation at Wigan Athletic, where he only suffered relegation due to going into administration and suffering a 12-point penalty. Hughton is still expected to be in the running for jobs, one year on from his departure at the Amex Stadium where he kept Brighton in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons following automatic promotion from the Championship. He was also promoted with Newcastle before spells with Birmingham City and Norwich City. Bristol City chief executive Mark Ashton has been biding his time over an appointment, with Dean Holden taking charge of the last five games of the season as caretaker and only suffering one defeat. Johnson, 39, had been in charge at Ashton Gate for four years and earned a reputation as a promising young manager after keeping the club in the Championship and finishing eighth in his final full season, four points off the play-off places. During his time at the club, young talent from Premier League clubs have been given chances on loan with players such as Tammy Abraham, Kasey Palmer and Ryan Kent getting short-term deals. Johnson was dismissed after a run of nine games without a win, including seven defeats, after looking contenders for a play-off place earlier in the campaign. They ended up finishing in 12th place, seven points off top six and a chance at fighting for promotion. Reads like a writing assignment, when you've had to copy every piece of information and stitch it together. Does not look like an sightful piece of journolism to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
