Of course he has to take it if offered. Only get out of jail I can see for the club and leadership is to surround Holden with Walsh, Morrell, Massengo and Semenyo in the reveal photo/video and preach the youth development strategy until the cows come home... Also, Gregor McGregor unusually quiet on posting his own tweets this morning when theres a lot of chatter about impending reveal. Press may already be under embargo if being revealed today - hence radio silence. **EDIT** And just to show me up and dispel any theory; Gregor tweets within 5mins of posting That would just be more depressing :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yozzarian Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 If Hughton was revealed in the kit on the roof the slight embarrassment I'd feel for my part in a meltdown would matter not one jot. I'd be excited for the season ahead. The comms on this have been badly handled. You might say the meltdown was of our own making but just think how much positive PR we could have been engaged with on SM if we had been kept in the loop just a little. Of course, if it is Holden, grab your popcorn and enjoy the true meltdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s less we have to pay the difference. Let’s hope the rumours of LJ being in the frame for bigger jobs are true . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a ridiculous OTT rooftop shot that pans to JL and MA holding a sheet that says ‘Announce Holden’ before the camera turns to Holden grinning in full City kit (rrp £84.99) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d have my upmost respect then. Honour ? firstly this is professional football we’re talking about. Secondly, I am sure DH would think he could do at least as good a job as LJ and possibly better and the only way for him and anyone else to find out is to accept the challenge.

Camera pans left to Holden shaking hands with JL and MA as they wave the taxi off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downsy. The appointment where the club started slowly to fall from grace. But seriously, very strongly dislike Downsy. Maybe because he could be Lee Tomlin’s brother but probably mostly because he seemingly knows FA about football and is generally just annoying. Idk I may be alone but never got why he was appointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
