ChippenhamRed Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Quite simply the Holden debacle is his failure, he should own it and he should be sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greedo Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 He absolutely has to go. Nothing changes until he does. Maybe unfairly overstated, but to many he represents everything rotten with the club. The corporatism, the disconnectedness from fans, the “Bristol Sport”-ification. Gross. Get rid.

Gilli74 Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 He took 7 weeks to choose the assistant of a failed boss as the outstanding candidate, out of hundreds of quality applicants ... and then had to sack him after 6 months ... his ego must have taken a battering tonight... so do I trust him to make the correct next appointment.... Hell No ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying convinced they've made the right decision and that others were suitable shows that his and the boards judgement, as well as SL'S...again...was wrong. Hung out to dry. They made a massive error. I'd respect them more if they admitted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could all see the club made a mess of this process and this sacking isn't really Holden's failure. He knew it was a big step up but an opportunity he couldn't turn down and if it was Ashton who recruited him, it is on his scorecard. This club really needs to restructure at the end of the season as its a mess in just about every department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said on the pod Coppello Ashton needs to go Steve is exiled in Guernsey Jon is basing himself in exile in Bermuda ( And almost certainly totally incapable) The Medical / Conditioning team needs surgery and reset The recruitment team incl Ashton’s Brother In Law needs surgery and complete overhaul The Coaching team needs a complete rebuild So who is going to sort out all this and urgently - Truly frightening moving forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the bloke that said that after 5 weeks of extensive search they had the right guy under their nose all along and so (so say) rejected Houghton)..... of course not. But only yesterday Lansdown was saying what a great job Ashton was doing. For what, appointing the bloke that you knew you were going to sack the following day Steve? How good a job is that for ***** sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I'm really mixed. He's, overall done good on the front of infrastructure, commercial revenue, sponsorship. Part of me feels LJ's 'clubs-in-bag' approach meant we simply bought in players (as requested) to allow different setups and counter the opposition - Ashton can only recruit based on the premise/requirements as detailed. The issue is that the debacle of the Holden appointment has severely smashed the remaining credibility among supporters including myself. I'd be interested to see how performs above a more experienced manager who can say 'No' to a signing. If it still fails - then that would be the final nail in the coffin.

fgrsimon Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Personally I think Ashton did an OK job up until last year, but it's pretty clear that Holden was his appointment and this has been a catastrophic choice. So at very least he should have his wings drastically clipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear Twentyman play back sound bites from that last interview he done where he was trying to justify the "due diligence" they had gone through and the aims for the coming season.
