Indeed we can, fingers crossed fellow reds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, I think he's already been told that he's got the job. Agreed. The ingredients are there - long serving manager, replaced by assistant. I think we will really struggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 Don’t get why people are willing to accept Holden as the cheap option. If we want a cheap appointment, we can still do much better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Fulham have a much stronger squad with whom you’d expect promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughton was appointed on a 4 year deal, but then we all had a change of heart and picketed Ashton Gate for Holden to be brought back into the reckoning.

We also have an appalling track record with internal appointments so it’s no wonder people are dubious. I think it would be a terrible choice to appoint Holden, partly for the anger from the fans.

Yes it’s preferable of course it is.... but for whatever reason that looks unlikely. People act on here that the ONLY reason is because it’s a cheap option.

So Chris Hughton got newcastle and brighton promoted with bang average players???? He did not. So he only did the exact same thing Parker has done at Fulham in his 1st job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
