SuperWesIrishWizard 0 Posted December 27, 2007 Big Big mistake if he has, hugely influential to Robert Green and more recently Joe Lewis. A superb goalkeeping coach, its no concidence that the only thing our academy has been producing in modern times is goalkeepers. Mistake, simple as. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rasputin was a C... 0 Posted December 27, 2007 He is still listed in the match day programme as the Goalkeeping coach. I''ve not heard anything about him being sacked. I presumed he wasn''t warming up the two ''keepers yesterday was because he was away or something like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rutland Canary 0 Posted December 27, 2007 Yes Bryan Gunn did warm up the Goalies at Scunny so thats two that James Hollman has missed. If he is ill I''m surprised there''s nothing on the official site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The post was a clear statement saying Holman was sacked before Christmas so we must assume that someone didn''t want this news announced before the clubs official statement. That then begs the question, who was behind the decision to delete. Archant or the club?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,531 Posted December 29, 2007 [quote user="Web Team - Pat"]I''m not aware of why it was removed - but we do not delete posts without good cause.[/quote]Well the poster basically said that he was a friend of Hollman and had a little pop at the club, I won''t say what he said because obviously that''s why it was deleted. He then had a pop at us for supporting them. "Nice club you lot support" were his words. This was the part I replied to because I felt it was unneccessary. I also couldn''t resist pointing out that if we were no longer a ''nice club'' it would make some of the posters on here very happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unlucky Fried Kitten 0 Posted December 29, 2007 Today''s EDP quotes Glenn Roeder as saying that Holman is on holiday at the moment and that the club will make a further statement regarding Holman when the time is right - or words to that affect. If he has been sacked, why be so reluctant to say so? If he hasn''t been sacked, why not issue a statement reaffirming that James Holman is still in his post? The plot thickens!

Web Team - Celia Sutton 0 Posted December 29, 2007 OK, OK...The post first came through for moderation yesterday to me. I did not allow it to go through, and I explained to the poster why in the deletion message. It seems to have been posted again regardless, and got through a different moderator. I deleted it again last night.My reasons are that while speculation is one thing, it''s not fair for someone to come on here as an unofficial spokesman for James Hollman. I have no idea whether this person does know James, nor do I know whether James would like it to be made publicly known that he has been sacked - if indeed he has. Having said that, so many of these seem to have got through that it''s hardly worth trying to stick my finger in the dam now!Celia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don''t need to know the ins and outs, just if he''s still in the job or not. Not too difficult. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iusedtobegood 0 Posted December 29, 2007 wow i didnt realise i would be causing so much hassle.. I did not have a go at the club i just merely pointed out it was not a very nice thing to sack someone the week before xmas. All I was doing was confirming the question that he had been sacked.. Fact that the club are saying he is on holiday may be due to the fact that he was sacked for crap reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Helsinki canary 242 Posted December 29, 2007 Its seems to me that he might of been sacrificed as GR saw no need to keep Gunny in the job that Grant put him in as GR would rather do that job himself? therefore as Gunny is such a legend at the club it was easier to put him into the position as GK coach and sack poor Hollman... purely a theory but a credible one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iusedtobegood 0 Posted December 29, 2007 i would agree that the real reason is GR probably didnt want him anymore and wants to bring in his own man, and if that was the reason Jim was given I think he would be ok with it. The reality was somewhat different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet he isn''t cheap either.Something stinks with this whole "jobs for friends" business and I was hoping it would have been eradicated by now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
