To be honest I’m not too sure many managers get complete control of transfers these days. I’m sure Holden was involved and had a voice in the decisions.1

That probably says more about the trigger happy nature / poor up front decision making of our owner rather than the six month contract. But still context worth sharing...5 -

Has Holden ruled out staying on next season?
I know his family live along way away in Salford but it would be interesting to know if he would relocate / stay if that becomes an option.
Definitely think he likes the club & is enjoying the challenge to turn things around (plus surely new owners would look to keep him if he brings the results).7 -

I can’t believe that anyone isn’t won over by Holden. Clearly cares and has turned things around quickly25 -

Its a list put together before he got here.
He seems just to be having a phone chat to introduce himself for form's sake and then the deals are done.

Oh Eddie Youds... said:Heard good things about Kane from QPR & Oxford fans.
Real gutsy full back who gets stuck in.Both said he would be playing at a higher level if it wasn’t for his past ACL / knee injury problems. Hopefully he can stay fit and show us what he can do.2 -

Holden has been after Bonne for years.
I doubt he's even heard of him until now4 -

I would suggest out of work managers have a better idea of what players they would like to sign than working ones who end up completely consumed with the grind of saturday-tuesday-saturday. They have a good idea of what sort of level they will end up at and the list of available players isn't infinite.9 -

Of course he's aware of him, he'll have been aware of him since at least 2019.5 -

You are correct.
Out of work managers and Coaches spend more time networking and watching matches (after the break with their partner and kids) because they don't want to be forgotten and to most football managers and coaches, football is their raison d'etre, their drug of choice.
I'm loyal and supported JJ to the end and still think he can do well as manager but Dean Holden will bring more discipline to the team as he's not their mate ( "look at me when I'm talking") and with some more help in this window can at least have a strong 18 man squad for selection in positions they are comfortable with.
Let's get to the end of this season around 8th or 9th and then see if we can assemble a squad to be at least top 6 with everyone on the same page in the Summer.
We were imploding less than a month ago so let's not get ahead of ourselves and talk top six.
One effing game at a time.
A certain poster said Tayo Edun was a done deal, but as we know until the contract is signed and medical completed its just speculation.
I hope it wasn't Kane or Edun as we want/need a left footed Left back.

Cov supporting mate has this to say about Kane
’ Marmite mate. Some fans liked him, others didn’t. Rumours he’s a bit of a bad egg and caused some issues amongst the other players. Robins tried to bin him off earlier but we had so many injuries. He tenacious though and gets stuck in.1 -
Are Bonne or Kane proven left-footed left backs?
If not, we are still pissing in the wind.4 - Sponsored links:

Edun is apparently still being sought after too so they are obviously still in the market for an actual left footed left back too.7 -
Regarding Taylor, even it was possible, I doubt if we’d get the all action 2019 version.6

eaststandmike said:lolwray said:Free or not ..these two are decentI’ll take Bonne as I think he did well for us and don’t get the criticism. Kane seems like he’s up for the fight, so that’s encouraging. The best thing about these deals is they are both short term. The last two Jan windows have shown up TS’ incompetence in running the club with Mansfield, Schwartz, Aneke and Fraser signing.Now I know Fraser has returned to form recently, but you can’t say at the 6/7k a week wages, we’ve had value for money. We may do, if he carries on, but we haven’t yet. As for the other 3. Oh dear1

We had to sign 2 players by Friday, otherwise i would genuinely been concerned, about what on earth was going on.
The question now is , will there be any more incoming / outgoing through the window?

For those guessing that Stockley might not be on his way to Gills due to them signing other forwards, it wouldn't surprise if his medical didn't go brilliantly?
Seeing as he can hardly sprint or spring into the air. A rigorous medical will not be easy for him.1 -

Holden has been through some shite times outside of football and is so far doing a good job at winning over Charlton fans with his approach / the football he’s producing.
Hopefully we finish the season well & he puts himself firmly into consideration for the role full time.
A few more good results & I can see him earning some Dean Kiely style Deano songs.9 -
