Kings win wars and generals win battles. Few remember the generals but we have to learn all about the kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may well be Holden but it still doesn’t seem certain to me. You seemed to think it was a done deal so I genuinely wondered why.

AshtonG666 Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 The sad thing is, DH must have been that low on the list that it's taken 5 weeks of negotiations with other people which must have all fell through for various reasons, to now only have the DH card to play If it was always their number 1 priority and they come out saying it was always their plan, why waste time with what has been reported as interviewing 8 others and taking 5 weeks and counting to appoint the assistant to LJ He is likely to be right up there as the least experienced of the bunch, but is cheap and knows the club and they are banking on that being the recipe for success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the club owes us at least some explanation of what Plan A (B, C, ...) was and why that didn't work out. One thing for sure is that DH was not Plan A. It also seems a big mistake to let these message boards rant on and on with no information at all from the club. They could have stopped at least some of the wild speculation (whatever did happen to the Pochettino thread?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose Fam and Elliasson think we would struggle to replace them. We don t have much experience either. Easy to lose a few on the bounce and wonder where on earth the next win is going to come from. I wouldn't say our defence is great and we create very few chances not a great combination.

Spud55 Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 38 minutes ago, MATT BCFC said: Anyone else worried we may get relegated this season? No, almost all 3 of the relegation places are nailed on, with fans Adams Park and the New York stadium might have been difficult places to go, but with no / fee fans I think they are nailed on to go down along with likely Sheff W with their points deduction. So although I don't think we would go down I don't see us being anywhere other than nearer the bottom than top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they wouldn't state that DH has been offered the job without some due diligence - they knew that it would kick up a shit storm ? More smoke and mirrors.
