Whether he’s gone, or should go, is one thing but the team selection, tactics, formation, set pieces and fitness levels are all things which could be improved and are the responsibility of the manager.
This would be a handy excuse not to sign anyone for the rest of the window. ‘We’ll wait until the new manager is in post and strengthen in January’. The investors are being conned and the fans are being conned.
I never thought I’d be the person to say this, even with all the manager shit we have been through *cough* Karel Fraeye *cough*, and I’m not necessarily upset Holden has gone as to me most managers sound like they are just a variation of a theme and it is what is on the pitch is all I care about.
But if Lee Johnson comes in as manager it stinks and I think I might need a Charlton time out.

I wasn't being serious about him being an option, but he has been sacked!
What a coincidence that Lee Johnson leaves Hibs the same time that Holden gets the sack.
Johnson was sacked by Hibs because he’s another sh!te manager.
Edit: by a former Charlton employee:
‘Chief Executive Ben Kensell commented: “The Club has taken the tough decision to relieve Lee Johnson of his duties following a disappointing start to the domestic campaign.”’
If it does turn out to be true then its a crap decision. New manager has no time to assess his squad before the transfer window closes. He will be stuck with players he doesn't want & maybe wont fit into his system of play.
Might as well just stick with Holden until xmas.
If a new manager knows how to set a team up. Can improve the non existent defence and knows how to attack and defend at set pieces we could be miles better off.

I'd hope they've probably had someone lined up just in case who might have been able to at least watch all our games
FFS, the cycle of bringing in a new manager, not supporting them in the transfer market and then sacking them continues it seems
Agreed. I don't know who would do better with the players we have. No good keep sacking the manager and not improving the squad
Agree to a point but he lost the plot on Saturday with his team selection and subsequent scrapping of it within 40 minutes despite having had a whole week on the training ground to get it right.
Maybe that’s why he went hell for leather at the end and sent everyone up - knew he’d go without a win?
Really really sad if it happens. Dean is one of the good guys. Who is the person with the authority to hire and fire? I'm not saying it would be wrong in a results business, but I dunno.... Very worrying times.
If this is true I hope they have someone good ready to go and we don’t end up with a convoluted process which will conclude with some cheap as chips nobody with limited experience and pedigree being appointed in October

I didn’t say you were being serious or even respond to your comment as it has been mentioned across social media in general. Considering his previous with CM, it does not take a huge leap of faith to think it could possibly happen.

That back operation causing him to miss today's City game was just a cover story
I couldn't wait to see the back of Saangard, but it seems like nothing has really changed
