bcfcnick Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I'd be quite happy if Dean gets the job. Good bloke, endorsed by the likes of Aaron Wilbraham, good man manager, will give academy talent a chance and will create internal unity. An angry and resentful fan base won't help him so I hope fans give him a chance. Ideally, I'd have liked someone such as Arne Slot, but if potential candidates such as him just weren't interested or realistic then I am more than comfortable with DH. He played a set system consistently that suited the available players and switched from LJ's contain and route one approach to a more attacking mindset which was refreshing. I thought he brought out the best in Paterson, Jay Desilva and Weimann and finally played a ball playing centre half who looked like he way enjoying playing at long last. I can see young players thriving under Dean and I wish him all the best with full support if he gets the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Why don’t you all just calm the **** down and wait and see what happens? Honestly, the rubbish that is being posted, and no one has a CLUE about any part of this process. It’s like mass hysteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Harry Dolman which owners/major shareholder, chairman and board have been better? Remember the one that took us to the old first division also took us to the brink of extinction. Perhaps you'd like the sometime Bros keyboardist back. Yeah, actually I would! Rather than being constantly sold a lie. At least we would know where we stood.

Jeez Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Had they booted LJ & bumped up DH earlier it would have given all a chance to see what he could achieve. He may well be the right candidate but the way the club have gone about this appointment is nothing short of appalling and DH should consider that point if offered the job. I’ll back whoever is given the job really but don’t mess about interviewing coaches with no intention of hiring them - I’d prefer if they came out and said this is our plan and our philosophy we intend to promote from within rather than the current circus. Fundamentally you have say whoever is in charge of the HC role has not come through this with any merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that if this goes wrong, it’s time for fingers to point at Steve Lansdown and Mark Ashton. No one ever says this but maybe SL has taken the club as far as he can. when you break it down his tenure has seen us hold steady as a level 2/3 club. It’s less of a club and far more SL’s business. I sit in the Dolman, have the same seat with better catering and bogs....the football has been as bad as ever recently. Not a lot to write home about really.

AshtonG666 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 The whole Covid situation in the Evening Post article makes no sense if it's true they tried to lure Gerrard At least the club will get something positive from Covid, using it as their primary get out clause for appointing DH if it happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did what we would all do, went for a promotion. On one hand it’s up to him to make a success of it, but the blame won’t just lie with him if it goes wrong. Trouble is, it will.

Of course they'll still be City supporters, but less enthusiastic, and not investing in a season ticket. What else can the club expect after raising expectations? Hoping this appointment won't be made, we have such an opportunity to move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MATT BCFC Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 If he doesn't do very well MA has to go. This feels like another example of the club treating the fans badly which seems to be happening a lot at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 Will appointing Holden attract players? will it enable good loan signings? will it be a signal of intent to get to the next stage? probably not on all three.....so he would have to be an absolute outstanding Coach for this to make any sense. im not sure he’s quite that.... after investment in ground, squad and state level level of ambition it would be a bizarre signing. maybe all just a ploy to get the main target to agree terms......I hope anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolman Block B Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 I wonder if our owner/board members/staff look in and read this forum and can see this poll about Holden and just how many do not want him to become our new manager/coach? Surely they would take note of this? If DH has the job and fails i hate to think how many fans would stay away? It could end up being a disaster for the club.

He’s not Trump FFS No one is having a pop at Dean Holden. Just fans sick of mediocrity and actually have ambition for their club. There are thousands of fans bored and tired of the style of football we were playing under LJ and we when just decide to appoint his assistant. Let alone the lies from Mark Ashton.

I can see young players thriving under Dean and I wish him all the best with full support if he gets the job. If he does get the job I hope he does a bit better than in his last 5 games, one of which was a difficult game against Hull who conceded 7 in the first half of the next game. I don’t understand why everyone thinks he will give youth a chance he didn’t in any of his 5 games he had. Vyner only later because of injury and our youngest player Massengo couldn’t even get off the bench when we were crying out for something in the middle! I respect your positive approach to this, and I try my best to be positive about this football club, but when (and I am hoping it it is not true) this does happy it is getting more and more difficult to swallow the Lansdown approach, which all just seems as though Lansdown Jnr is playing Football Manager but in real life!!!

Simon bristol Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 i dont think holden is the right man for the job, but Whatever happens, holden is a good straight talking guy. He had to choose from a squad with weimann and paterson in midfield, and has conducted himself with dignity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
