Banjo Red Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Wouldn't surprise me if that shithouse Ashton was the one to pull the trigger as the Lansdowns were not about. Or was it as Michelle Owen said he was on the phone in the dugout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 There we go then. On reflection i do feel for Dean Holden tonight in a way - set up to fail by the snakes above him.

keflav Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 anyone notice the wording "Assistant Head Coaches Paul Simpson and Keith Downing will take charge of training until further notice." not take charge on Saturday but take charge of training, does this mean they have someone in place? just speculating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks for the efforts Dean. Had my full backing and sad to see it go this way, but you gave your all and City are grateful. All the best for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean was set up as the fall guy when it all goes wrong, and it did, very quickly as the majority of us expected. I expect another yes man type inexperienced manager to come in and be the next victim. Until Ashton goes, not much will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not going to employ anything else. Personally speaking, if we are not going with experience I would like us to tempt Duncan Ferguson into his first managerial role. You'd see Nahki ****ing Wells trying then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 An age to appoint Deano, due diligence and all that and it still hasn’t worked - again.

Bottom line is Ashton appears to be rather good at it. Whether we like him or not is immaterial- there will be many, many CEOs like Ashton in football IMO. Of his style.

Devereux Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Interesting that the statement says Simpson & Downing to take charge of “training” with immediate effect and doesn’t mention games.

Taz Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 The thing is, you know we're going to get a repeat of the Gerrard situation from the summer, just change his name to Lampard. The fact that he did a half decent job at Chelsea, and will be out of our league will be ignored by the board as they'll persist in trying to get their "name".

Dr Balls Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 2 minutes ago, billywedlock said: The team needed strong action when things were slipping under LJ. Holden was a terrible appointment, anyone with an ounce of intelligence would never have made that call. But, and this is the issue, it is not only about LJ and Holden, the malaise is heavily connected to our terrible recruitment over the last few years. We are left with an unbalanced, injured.., out of contract, ageing squad and a club with no ethos or strategy, so it is completely rudderless and has been for 4 years. Who really wants to come into the club as it is set up today ? This should have been actioned 2 seasons ago, now we are reacting, and that is a position of weakness. Whilst you cannot change everything in one go, the recrutment team and those responsible for it, if that is Ashton so be it, but they all need to go. The situation is that serious. It will need someone with great vision , a clarity of vision, to turn this around. Trying to find, attract, and install all of these changes in one go is almost impossible., but the next appointment needs to be inspired. These last years have been painful to watch, the greatest opportunity in decades slipping through our fingers. But, that has now gone, it is the quality of the next decisions that will shape all. We have not been so good at these tough ones, but I hope Steve L has a Pat Lam moment for the football club now. The equivalent of a Pat Lam appointment or anything even close won’t happen because that would immediately undermine Ashton. And he’s the one in charge of appointing Holden’s successor.

Lack of Action Man Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 So the man to “take us to the next level” was in fact not the right man for the job. Who knew? Ashton has to fall on his sword now. The man is totally full of crap. Good luck to Holden for his future career. But totally the wrong appointment by Ashton and the Lansdown duo.
