PFree Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 And you thought you mattered More seriously, and as a loyal fan of 30 years, most of which five of us have been ST holders, I just hate being lied to - progress, ambition, let's be honest, actions speak louder than words! As a final thought, what is the point of having a Billionaire owner who doesn't any longer want to invest in the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew me Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Pathetic. Lies again. "We're looking for experience" "proven" Five weeks to end up giving it to a lad that was part of the problem! Genius city This has to be a new low point, totally floored by the bull5hit and continued lies about progress and investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want us to be successful, but I don’t like the way the club have gone about this. I can be disappointed by the appointment as I would rather have Chris Hughton and would question what in Holdens CV convinced Steve Lansdown that he can deliver premiership football (Steve’s goal for the club). Why cant I hold this view now? Why should I have to apologize for it at a later date? I don’t expect people to apologize for believing in Johnson.

Could have stopped all the speculation, overreaction and the like. Whoever is running the team next year there is no doubt that we have a circus above them in charge of the whole thing. Anybody who can defend the decision makers in this process is exhibiting the kind of blind loyalty that allows any organisation to become complacent and when that happens it only heads in one direction. People running any organisation have to be accountable. The overriding feeling for many, whether right, wrong or indifferent is that the benefactor, particularly his son and the CEO hold the fans of the club in nothing but utter contempt.

The club could've handled the fans a whole lot better during this process and made themselves look alot more professional and popular. Cant justify that.

redking Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Disappointed but not surprised this will split the fan base even more than Johnson`s appointment. I take it then then Holden was the one the board wanted five weeks ago and Chris Hughtons interview was to cover their asses under Rooney`s rule. So much for the promised land or did the board mean playing up Horfield at the memorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in a situation where the black guy seems to be head and shoulders more qualified than all the other candidates to do the job. Clearly, race is not the reason we wouldn’t appoint Hughton but do not be surprised if our managerial process is used as an example of BAME candidates being jettisoned when they were perfectly qualified to do the job.

Nigelmalta Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Have to agree, board is a total shambles. I just cannot work out how this has been handled so badly. Other clubs like Southend who are also appointing a new manager come out in the press and apologize and say give us a little longer. If it is Dean then what an absolute joke. Nothing against him as he does seem a decent man but against CH. pathetic. We need Ashton out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Let’s be honest here, Steve Lansdown has a huge amount of form here, first of all he was one of the driving forces behind appointing Tony Fawthrop in 2000, that led ultimately to Scott Davidson being removed as chairman, then ultimately off of the board. He also presided over the disastrous appointments of both Brian Tinnion and Keith Millen. So he has a lot of form with these type of appointments. The fact is over his tenure, the club has become so dependent on him that he has total carte blanche to proceed as he chooses. Personally, throughout this whole process, I’ve thought that there’s been an elephant in the room, namely the Steve Coppell debacle. Appointing Chris Hughton would of been a similar appointment as Coppell’s was. I hasten to add that I’ve always been curious as to what Coppell’s side of that story is. Hopefully this won’t end up being as disastrous as the aforementioned managers, and I wish Dean Holden the very best of luck, as he really needs to hit the ground running in September. He’s very fortunate that he’ll have at least a month with no fans in the ground as a bad start and the nature of his appointment would of made for an extremely toxic atmosphere.
