Honestly fuck Sandgaard, this is a pathetic appointment. He sacked Garner because his pathetic ego couldn’t handle some home truths, which has left us up river without a paddle and now this.MattF said:
I hope it’s loud clear what we think of him tomorrow.17 -
I’m honestly not sure I’ve heard of Dean Holden before (I thought it was Dean Holdsworth, guy that used to play for Wimbledon and Bolton in the 90’s).8

I know nothing about Holden, like @se9addick I was thinking of the Wimbledon player. So, I can't talk about his merits or not.
Let's face facts here who do we honestly expect? No manager available or contracted would be willing to come on board with TS's sacking credentials and watch as the Titanic merrily slips below the waterline.
The reality is that nobody in their right mind unless given assurances, possibly signed in blood would believe TS and accept the poison chalice we've become.
So, unpopular as it is, people like Holden are perhaps all we can realistically expect, even if that's as unpopular with the fan base as it appears to be!1 -
I did not know who Dean Holden was when I heard his name touted, looked up his career and associated stats and have to admit my first question to myself was, why the fcuk would CAFC be interested in him? Because we have clueless tw*ts running our club is the only sensible answer. Perhaps he is the master of the ‘low block’ in lower division football? We need somebody who can mount a promotion challenge, not tick buzzword bingo cards…
Who knows, but if TS thinks the fans are going to be remotely enthused by this appointment, I suggest he sees a shrink!?!1 -
I guess he was a candidate in the summer and still available?
If the sale is not the done deal that those ITK think, then a manager to take us through the Christmas period is exactly what we urgently need now, and an ex defender will help!
The length of contract will be interesting. A six month one will tell us everything we need to know, but that maybe hidden in a break clause.0 -
Cheap, available, coach only, utter no mark with no track record. Is Sandgaard now just doing this out of spite?

If there is no news regarding the sale of the club come kick off time tomorrow the fans have to be loud and clear what they think of Sandgaard.
He may well not be at the match but his son will and I hope he gets dogs abuse throughout the match.7 -
Cawley confirms Holden will be announced today. What a crap appointment0
-
I am always support the team not the regime - but that’s an embarrassing appointment.

It's just another cheap, knee jerk appointment devoid of any strategy other than it being cheap and available and willing.
Don't expect us to attract the Mick Mccarthys etc but that's down to the deterioration of the club that this clown and preceding clowns have overseen.
It's all just a punt and hope for the best on the cheap as is expected from someone clueless about running a football club and bringing in equally clueless family members in unmerited senior roles.
Not so fucking easy after all is it .

Bizarre.Is the takeover talk rubbish then?I can’t see how Thomas can appoint someone if a buyer is close to taking the reins??1

Hayes is embarrassingly out of his depth but, in all seriousness, until the ownership issue is resolved Pep could decide he fancies a challenge and it would make no difference. Dean Holden, Amanda Holden, Noddy Holder…..I couldn’t really give a toss. The handcart is approaching for the journey to hell……….3

Presume this is Andy Scott... Previously Head of Recruitment @ Nottingham ForestScoham said:

Gallen gone too?0 -
Surely Martin will be moved out of the structure now? If indeed this appointment is not the Sandgaards pick. It would make sense to move Gallen out as well now with a new DOF coming in as some are speculating. What a rollercoaster this club is.1

That will be the real clue into who’s running the show. As for the manager, all irrelevant until Sandgaard sells. Same old.DagenhamAddick said:Surely Martin will be moved out of the structure now?

Suggests TS is staying and has a new (stupid) investor.
God knows how he pitched that.0 -
To a certain extent, it feels almost irrelevant. New manager- same players, same recruitment, same drive to, well, break even....? Same old, same old.I'll wait and see what happens, but there is a lot that needs changing, and the new manager, after failing to back the previous one, is moving a deck chair on the Titanic six inches nearer the port rail.3

Either that, or with January coming up, the new investor is taking majority control.grumpyaddick said:Suggests TS is staying and has a new (stupid) investor.

TS is being left with a smaller stake (for now), to speed things up so we can strengthen next month
Least I bloody hope so1 -
really confused really passed off. I thought the reason he booted Garner out was so the new owners could appoint there man and they did not have to pay him off
Like most people here feeling really down0 -

No he's not and that is the problem. He remains entirely ignorant of his own ignorance and just what a terrible job he's done. I've no doubt he genuinely thinks this is the kind of appointment that will win fans over.Clem_Snide said:Cheap, available, coach only, utter no mark with no track record.

Honestly past caring about who the manager is because as we all know unless TS is prepared to invest they're going to be up against it.
We could get Klopp in but if he's working with Morgan and Lavelle then what hope would he have?14
Think his sister was in Steps
