BCFCGav Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 This might not be a popular opinion, but I don't hate this idea. I'd have Holden over Cook. My thinking is that he knows our squad, including youth and the loan army, so no lengthy integration or 'missing' some of our promising young players (Walsh, for example, seems oven ready. A new manager might opt to shop). And second, he uses 3-5-2, a formation I feel yields the best results for us. Defensive solidity is key to any team.

EDIT: that was a different world though - he was 'player-manager' for a bit wasn't he? You wouldnt have messed with big Joe though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be in utter disbelief like Lansdown has lot the plot if he thinks Holden is the answer. He must know how badly the fan base will react, many won't commit to this silly obsession he had with Tinnion, Millen and LJ only then to move to holden.

Mr Hankey Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 If it’s Holden (which it won’t be) he will be getting all his help & direction from LJ. It will essentially still be Johnson in charge. Would be hilarious if it happens mind, be the biggest “**** off” to the fans from Johnny boy for forcing his beloved out. But i am 1000000% sure it won’t be Holden, it is funny to see the reactions though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it's just doing the process right etc, interview sure why not- in no sense is he the best or most qualified candidate though so yeah 1m% sure it won't be him!

brad blit Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Total non story designed to lower fan expectations. Lansdown has publicly stated he wants Playoffs minimum and a realistic shot at Promotion. He wont be going for someone with no managerial experience at such a critical point in the clubs history. Move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street red Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Really is this club actually shortlisted holden,It's a joke that he's even on the list and that he's even in contention with Hughton and cook is some kind of P***take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Island Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 If he is appointed I will be surprised but give him a chance. Some were getting excited about that fella who spent his whole career as a coach for Guardiola, no managerial experience and no experience in the Championship. I’d take Holden over him, if we were called Dino Holdini maybe he’d get more respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Charlton was a better player than Jordan but was a disaster as manager of Preston. Was meaning respect from other players, potential players having been there and done it playing wise at one of the worlds leading clubs in Man United. And he wasn't a bad manager either.

Mind you, what a disastrous 3-3 and a half year period it was for us! Worth noting too that at home, we had quite a bounce under O'Driscoll for a time. Wolves away felt like the turning point for our survival hopes, mid-March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
