Slack Bladder Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 It's a either a fantastic opportunity for him or a poison chalice, either way he would be mad not to take it. He sounds hungry and desperate to do well, if it goes pear shaped it will not be his fault in my opinion. Of course if things go well and he earns the respect of the fans, they will be more likely to stick by him thick or thin. Time to pull together.

Red Exile Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Dean Holden - Bristol City manager/head coach, whatever... Hard to believe...or indeed take seriously! What a time to be alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like it, the communication has been appalling and the club clearly think we are fools but Holden has done nothing but be offered and accept a job. I am pissed off he was offered it but I wish him well and he will get my full support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddoc Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Feel sorry for the guy. Pretty sure he'll be aware of the negativity surrounding his appointment. If he doesn't hit the ground running he'd be in for a difficult time if we had any supporters in the ground. However it's a payday I guess and I've taken the job in his position, why not? Now, when do I get to find out how to refund my season tickets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Good luck Deano. Like the first interview. Very honest. Hopefully he delivers on his attacking football promise and honest interviews. Personally I back him and will support him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Good luck to him. No blame for his appointment should fall on him, of course he will take the opportunity and I hope it goes brilliantly. If it doesn't, the blame should squarely fall on the king of spin and the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoyo2345 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 In the interview says he’s going to give 100% to the job. Jesus Christ i should hope so, doesn’t give the enthusiasm about a love for the club like our last coach. He will be gone by xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 In fairness to him, more so on the Twentyman interview, he fully acknowledges that he’s not the popular choice, and he understands that. I like that. It’s hard to move on without understanding and acknowledging a problem, and he’s done that straight off the bat. Not everyone’s choice, but time to move on now. It’s done. I support City through whatever, and I want Dean to succeed. So I’m 100% behind him. Like Davefevs has mentioned a few times, I did see some things that I liked in those last 5 games. Particularly formation, possession and effort (a difficult thing to get in those dead-rubber games). Come on Deano, do your best and prove all the doubters wrong (of which I was one, but I’m fully behind you now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturny Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I just get a vibe that it's not about progressing Bristol City but about Holden not f*cking up. You can see how excited and proud he is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcredandwhite Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 He comes across as a strong character - a Richie Wellens type - you wouldn’t want to piss him off in the dressing room.

Bris Red Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 2020 - an absolutely horrendous year. Good luck Dean , see where you are in 10 games pal struggling like **** I’d imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_s Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I’ve certainly no personal issue with Holden but the way the club handled the process since LJ left just comes across as speculative, cheap and amateurish at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaning To One Side Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Anyone else pick up on the little snippet where DH praised the club for bringing in the two assistants rather than saying they were his choices?

BCFCGav Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Enjoyed that. Clearly very proud to be here, think some names we were linked with saw us as a nothing club which Dean certainly doesn’t. Can’t wait to see how he gets on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loosey Boy Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Definitely not my (or many others) choice but thought he spoke very well - don’t blame him for giving it a go and if this interview is anything to go by,he will be honest in his assessment(s) moving forward. The 12 month contract is quite telling for me though......almost as if SL just wants to get through the next 12 months and then re-assess! He has already made a couple of brave decisions - JMac and KS both being released..... With Fam and NE on their way, let’s see if the Board trust him with some money to spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
