The quicker he is gone the better. Followed by Lansdown. If he is the next head coach then he will be the City head coach and the only one we have. Why would I not support him? We should all hope he does well and support him in his efforts. Its in our job description - supporters!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoPal Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 As i've said before, this is no longer Bristol City Football Club. That's dead. This is Mark Ashton's Recruitments and Events company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I'll get behind him, like I have done every other City manager, including a few that I didn't want. It shouldn't have come to this but he's not to blame and I'd love nothing more than for him to prove everyone wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it depends on interpretation as they see it. He's not a fresh face around the club but as a permanent head coach for the first time with a pre-season and serious chance to put his own stamp on things he might be seen as such. Pedantic yes but I'm speculating on their interpretation not my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you think of Mr Lansdown's ability to choose a manager, without him this club would be languishing in a lower division, with an antiquated stadium. So show some respect.

SouthStand Sandwich Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Waiting 5 weeks for this... joke. Oh well, if it happens, he'll be gone by December... An experiment that did not work out... By which time hopefully fans will be able to return to the gate to coincide with SL (and not MA) finally appoint someone with gravitas... Only thing is expect another season of what ifs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReggyRed Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 11 minutes ago, bcfcnick said: Excellent news. 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. You’ve been planted on here haven’t you. Don’t talk so much tripe. A league two side wouldn’t be excited with appointing Dean Holden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Davidson got him out as soon as he took over, saying no other club in the league would have employed him as manager. We are in the same place now. Yep - very similar. When I think of the emotional energy we all invest...I think this might be the limit! It's just not a serious proposal - Holden... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldlandReddies Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 3 minutes ago, TomThumb84 said: 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. Clearly other candidates were not prepared to take a salary drop. The player salary cap announcement is imminent as well so that will have a big impact. Maybe the full financial implications were not known until recently? We and most other clubs are right in the shit now because of Covid. This is simply about survival until the virus goes and we get back to full stadiums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
