Won’t happen, look at the news, the whole of the EFL is totally screwed, if we end up with most of our existing squad and not in receivership we’ll be ahead of a number of Championship Clubs.

AshtonRobin21 Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 This just screams of past mistakes. For the first time in as long as I can remember we have some top managers linked with the job. Managers that have been there and done it in terms of promotions. A large number of Bournemouth fans were calling for Hughton immediately after Howe left. Paul Cook has 3 promotions under his belt (albeit at lower levels) but has an eye for talent and has done very well in all of his recent jobs and has worked very well on minimal financial backing. I would have been interested to see what he could do within our clubs structure. However City look likely to employ from within, as to quote Gregor "players like him". I worry that if Holden is appointed, and isn't successful, we may risk some of these managers not applying for a 2nd time around in the future. 4 and a half weeks of interviews, only to go with what you already have. Shambles. I can imagine the conversations between Ashton and JL went something along the lines of... "Well Jon, it says here that Mr Hughton has two promotions from this division, and an 11th place finish in the Prem" "That's all well and good Mark, but he hasn't got the experience of being the right hand man in back to back Johnson Cup victories has he? Maybe one to revisit next time around". If Holden is our next manager, I really hope he surprises me. Because currently my expectations for next season are very bleak.

Lrrr Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 1 minute ago, GrahamC said: Not as mad as us appointing Holden (if we do) that would make appointing Jimmy Lumsden look like appointing Klopp. To be honest I understand the gamble of Holden on a 1 year deal its just not the way I think we'll go. If Holden could see us finish top half we could look to appoint a quality gaffer with potentially the financial backing that LJ received upon knowing our revenue streams are returning. Again not the way I think we'll go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman_Red Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I think (hope) that DH odds have tumbled because lots of city fans are lumping on just in case he is appointed and they have a consolation prize! I've put some money on Hughton and Cook to try and bring their odds down to help people stop freaking out But I think there is some value there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Have to disagree with the OP & others that this is the time to financially “batten down the hatches” Attended matches may come back next season but how long for - who knows or in what capacity. If they are most fans will be in & out spending far less on the day. What is not going anywhere is the TV money on offer in the Prem. If SL truly intends to make the club self sufficient this is only achievable by treading water in Champ selling players or going up, even if only for a season or 2. Each season the club keep peddling the dream that the club is focused on promotion for too long to now decide to consolidate when the future looks uncertain. I don’t expect us to be rolling the dice on this but taking a calculated view on investing when others are consolidating & reducing the odds. We’re finally getting the parts together to compete at the top end of the table with the infrastructure in place & it would be a huge risk to appoint Holden to take it forward. However sound he may be. I believe the club is at a crossroads & maybe they’re starting to feel out of their depth in deciding how to approach the next stage on its evolution.

How can the board ask for patience as they undertake due diligence to "take the club to the next level"; and then appoint the deputy. An appointment like DH would show every experienced manager out there, the level of our ambition as a club. The next time, the position becomes available, i guarantee a large number will be put off by the current fiasco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking 5 weeks after interviewing all best available coaches then appointing the DH would smack of a massive ego trip from our CEO. Surely he should have known if he was a viable candidate from outset and if they were smart could have replaced LJ with DH back in Jan until the end of the season & 99% of us would have said fair enough.

No chance, Lansdown is a Billionaire and if he’s so committed to getting us to the premier league as that’s all him and Ashton go on about then surely this opportunity is the best chance to get someone in who actually knows how to get out of this league instead of going for a person who was assistant to some of the worst football I’ve seen in recent years down City starting to think you’re either SL, JL, Ashton or Holden by the way you’re going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
