Many of us are disappointed. I get that based on records many would not see Holden as a better coach than Hughton, but who exactly has lied.

ZiderEyed Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I'm so unreasonably angry about all this. UNPROVEN is the word. Lee Johnson was sacked because he couldn't get us in to the top six. What the **** is Steve Lansdown smoking if he thinks that Dean Holden, a man who has never held a managerial position except for Oldham ******* Athletic, is going to be able to take us up??? I'm sick of having my hopes and dreams played with by billionaires, middle managers and smarmy *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumRed Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Just now, 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. Well 15 games doubles his experience as a manager at least.

Cardy Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Season ticket holder for over 20 years - I’m done with this club. There are more important things in life than following a tin pot club run by control freaks. Forget the Prem - start looking downwards. I actually feel sick at this news - our worst appointment ever & we have made some bad ones in the past. Oh & why is this news coming from the local rag & not the club itself? Suggests a boardroom split of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We simply aren’t - cut the bullshit , cut the spin we have no ambition Said sold 12k season tickets before shutdown , out of what 15k last year , can’t imagine anyone else will bother now ( very different if Hughton got it ) and lots of the 12k wanting a refund , absolute shit storm coming Arrogant controlling bastards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meets none of the criteria outlined at the start of the process. Just not a serious appointment. Heaven help us. There are better things in life than this shambles. For someone thats not an egotistical maniac the choice is obvious. Unfortunately we have people higher up that are well suited to being egotistical maniacs. One bizarre management appointment to many for me to believe otherwise now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
