Bloody hell seth you really are a hard taskmaster. With the players we have Pep couldn’t engineer a win after two days at the helm. Bonkers post.seth plum said:As far as I am concerned Holden is responsible for what happens tonight.
In his interview he said his appointment has been on the cards for a while, he says he has seen us play a lot, and it has been his decision to load the Brighton pressure on Anthony Hayes shoulders.
Giving Holden a chance happens tonight, right here right now as Brighton fans might sing.
I am not interested in Holden having a honeymoon period however unreasonable that might seem, all the club have to do to calm things is to knock a fine premier league club out of the cup this evening.
Otherwise Holden is in deficit with me.0 -
Am I reading this correctly? New manager appointed on the Tuesday, not involved in the game on Wednesday but if we don't win the game, which is against a top half premier league team, you turn against the manager?seth plum said:As far as I am concerned Holden is responsible for what happens tonight.

So you know the Brighton squad for tonight do you, never gonna be a team of reserves with the Prem staring again over the weekend, not that i feel we will win, be nice to, but...🤷♂️BenHaimandBikey said:
We are 9/1 outsiders against a top ten team in the country who have a squad of reserves that are better than any players in our squads.seth plum said:Yeah, but I have paid for a ticket, Holden hasn’t.
My ulcers have monetary value, as well as emotional investment.
I am intrigued by the position that argues give Holden a bit of a chance, and am interested as to why I should.
Hasn’t Holden got into this with his eyes wide open?
But yeah, if we lose tonight I'm Holden Out. Not holding out, Holden Out. Dean Holden is the manager.0 -

If saying Holden would be ‘in deficit with me’ is turning against the manager in your view fair enough.Todds_right_hook said:

To me turning against the manager would be calling for him to be sacked.
My attitude is about who takes responsibility for results.
Who knows, we might win through this evening, and Holden can be a hero.4 -
apologies - misremembered Airman's tweet.ShootersHillGuru said:
Don’t think Rick has said that. Rick has heard Scott has a six week deal but doesn’t know about Holden.RichmondSE10Exile said:
If Airman is correct and he’s only contracted to the end of the next transfer window it would have to be a very short honeymoon period anyway.seth plum said:As far as I am concerned Holden is responsible for what happens tonight.

I see he was born in Swinton. Do you think he was recruited by mistake and that TS/MS read it as Swindon?14

Short contract. Will he see in the New Year ?0

I wondered if as Swinton is only seven miles away from Chorlton they thought they'd picked up a local lad.thetomahawkkid said:I see he was born in Swinton. Do you think he was recruited by mistake and that TS/MS read it as Swindon?8 -
Ultimately I have no connection with the owner any more, little to no connection to the team, other than perhaps Miles and Dobson. Might as well get positive about this guy, seems our best chance of getting anything other than 3 defeats in the Christmas period. If he can get 90 minutes out of them the way Hayes got 45 on Saturday, we can at least build some optimism for next season. Welcome Dean.1

He said he'd asked Scott Minto for Alan Curbishley's phone number. He wants to invite him to the training ground and pick his brain about what this club/fanbase needs and what it's been missing. Said he's a terrific resource to tap and that he'd also be asking other ex-Charlton people so he could immerse himself in the club quickly.The Red Robin said:

Also said the Charlton community reminds him of Salford where he grew up, in that it's filled with hardworking, good people who love their football. (But our music isn't as good as up there.) Ha!
He mentioned that the feeling around the training ground is quite glum and really needs a lift. Said there will definitely be movement in January with players coming in and others surplus to requirements. He has been watching the team and has an idea of who that is.
Those are the bits that stuck out for me. He came across well. Authentic, honest northerner.40 -
Hearing that he wants to tap into Curbs and others knowledge was good to hear.3

"Dean, I heard you signed a 2 1/2 year deal.
2 1/2 weeks actually, but if I meet certain performance criteria, there's an extra week extension on offer."5
