In amongst all this nonsense I’d quite like to see a proper structure in place (CEO/DOF/CFO) and then Garner re-instated and given a fair shot - I.e funds to work with! At times I think we showed promise but working through such a toxic and unsettled environment with complete lark of experience above must have been so frustrating!2

How do we know he's a 'defensive manager' btw?1

It took Duchatalet less than a year to start making desperate managerial appointments. It's taken Sangaard two years, so I guess that constitutes an improvement.5

I thought you were better than cheap LOLs!Leuth said:
Looks like a man who ran out of ideas and he was sacked only a few days later. His run at the end at Bristol City was obviously unacceptable but taken in the context of an entire season, he left them 13th in the table after 30 games played. More than solid.
They sacked him and replaced him with Nigel Pearson, a bloke who was definitely going to rebuild and get them promoted…
Almost two years later and right now they are sitting in 18th after finishing 19th (falling from 13th) and 17th the last two seasons. Maybe Holden wasn’t the problem after all?
Seems like he did an ok job at the level above, in my opinion. They did go on a really poor run and no manager survives those in modern football but hopefully he’ll have learned from it.
Taking my Charlton goggles off, I’d say it’s a good appointment for a team sitting in the bottom half of League One.10 -
I hope he can sort our defence out1

By all accounts from the research I’ve done he seems like a well respected coach and indeed person within the footballing world.But then again so was Garner.Sounds like there has certainly been a change in strategy or at least some investment has come in, so perhaps it may work - nobody really knows.
The only thing that is certain is that if we stayed on our current path it really wouldn’t matter who the manager is or was.5 -
We’d be as well with the Shake and Vac woman.Callumcafc said:Andy Scott? Wasn’t that the bloke from the Cillit Bang adverts ten years ago?2 -
A new manager, whoever that may be, is largely immaterial when the club is set up to fail from within.Callumcafc said:

It’s like constantly changing the tyres on a car with no engine and wondering why it won’t start.30 -

Agreed but that’s a separate argument. Only here to defend Holden’s credentials, not the club as a whole, which is a shambles.Valley11 said:

Haha, pretty cheap of me I agree. He actually seems, as promised, quite dignified and likeable at least1

Holy mother forking shirtballs - his record at Stoke was outstanding!
😎 Chill out everyone

Everyone said the same about Garner. Irrelevant how good a coach he is with this squad. It needs investment and rebuilding. Any coach or manager needs Sandgaard to spend money and be left alone.Callumcafc said:12 -
I have less reservations about Holden than I did 24 hours ago.
In the main because its clearly not all that is happening.11 -
I’ll copy and paste what I replied to @Valley11The Red Robin said:
