I'm disappointed but I can fully understand why we have had to appoint Deano We don't have a billionaire bank rolling us.

Gerbil Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 He's going to need all the luck he can get poor bloke. The powers that be have missed an opportunity to progress the club. I hope he does well but we have been down this road a few times over the years. Cant help feeling let down big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowie Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 This could really be the final nail in my football coffin. Been losing love for the game for years and only City now has my interest. Seeing my life long ambition of them in the PL, huge step back and think I’m done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to see a head coach appointed who has an inclination to play attacking football rather than CH whose instinct for dour, pragmatic defensive football led to the majority of both Brighton and Norwich fans being delighted to see him depart. Some might argue that we would get an early opportunity of premiership football with Hughton but without a big budget and being allowed to rip up the current squad I don't think we would. I hope fans give Dean a chance of 10 to 15 games before passing judgement as I suspect we will see some decent football and good results.

TomThumb84 Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 4 minutes ago, OldlandReddies said: And?? He just had to go didn't he. And we've replaced him with someone on less wages and also cut backroom staff. Why don't people get this? Why not give it to him straight away then? 5 weeks? Thorough process? Does Dean Holden match the brief or objectives that the board openly set out? “someone coming INTO the club” “we need a breath of fresh air” etc etc. If anyone can actually say that Dean Holden has more experience, nous, a proven track record, footballing connections, than every other candidate (of which we were assured were far, varied, wonderful and surprising) then I’m sorry I just cannot entertain that notion.

Wrongagain Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Can’t see how we could expect Holden to be anywhere far away from LJ when it comes to setting up the team - they were together a very long time! lack lustre and totally devoid of ambition, how can we be buying so many for the future when the now will see the same talent continue to be wasted - forget ambition we are going nowhere - though I would love to proved wrong! How many seasons will we be waiting for success or rapid failure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean we give him another 5 games as I didn’t see anything in those 5 games that I thought yeah this guy needs a go! Was it Swansea we had every striker we had at the club on the pitch and did t create a chance! Holden does not play youth, he had that opportunity with the last 5 games with nothing to play for, but chose to use the same duffers that played under Johnson! Like with everything at Bristol City all we do all talk, always have, always like to talk but nothing else! Only at this club could we appoint a guy who has been fundamental in the coaching for the last 4 1/2 years, and the promote him to the single most important job in a football club. Lansdown clearly doesn’t want promotion, a total lack of ambition and direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loco Rojo Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 The amount of anger towards the club of the back of some Bristol Post/Live reporting before the club have announced anything.
