JoeP Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 It's thoroughly depressing idea that we'd be setting out to 'contain' Chesterfield, at home, in what for Latics was an end-of-season dead rubber game. It shouldn't have been an end-of-season dead rubber game in Holden's eyes, if he's serious about getting the manager's job permanently. It's an opportunity for him to demonstrate how he'd adapt his tactics for a game when a few players are out, against a team who are sixth in the league who had just won 6-0. It wasn't a great spectacle, but occasionally we're going to need to grind out a result. It could be argued that Holden showed on Saturday that he knows how to do that.

BP1960 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Glossop FC Chris Willcock, Manager. 2013 to date 120 86 14 20 71.67% And a Wembley appearance soon. Not a bad record, can he do it at league level? - probably no league club would give him an interview anyway, so we will never know.

NewBlue Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 This article is quite a compelling case for Neil Redfearn: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/leeds-united/11551152/Alarm-bells-ring-at-Leeds-United-as-cowardice-and-anarchy-undermines-Redfearn-and-his-talented-graduates.html It says his contract is to expire and not be renewed in the summer, his track record with youngsters is one of the best in the country, and he's guided a very troubled club with relatively little funding to a decent league position, while his own backroom staff were undermined. Obviously a Latics legend so a big name for fans who might be attracted by a new stand and bit of ambition, and he probably won't be attracted that many suitors in better positions than us. I'd offer him the gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd offer him the gig. A few weeks ago i had a look on the Leeds messageboard. Many were not overly impressed. No plan B etc. Given they are Leeds fans, I take that as a ringing endorsement. Come home Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Very much doubt he's applied as when things were at that stage he was working with relative stability. Doubt he would do it for the money at his stage of life and people seem to forget that he left us in not ideal circumstances. Doubt he'd want big Joe as his assistant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owdumer Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Rick Holden said that he (Redfearn) would probably jump at the chance, and that money wouldn't be the driving force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad record, can he do it at league level? - probably no league club would give him an interview anyway, so we will never know. 33 clean sheets this season for GNE they have won the north west counties league finals to play and could get a historic treble. However this is the NW counties league their is a big big difference. I'm averaging a goal every other game in my 6 a side team and the games last for 25 mins. I regularly bag atleast 5 on Tuesday nights works 5 a side games. I'm not the answer to the striker problem at oafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 has he even applied ? Does he want it ? Both Redfearn & Klopp were not available at the time, its worth 2 phone calls isnt it?

losesome Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Can't help feeling the new manager is already in !!!!!!!!!!! Surely if it wasn't going to be Holden they would have already appointed one by now to give him the last few games to see what he has to work with for next season ?
