What? If Barrow signed for holt?

Well, this thread sure goes to show you can't please all of the people all of the time!

I for one welcome the news, if confirmed.

Or is Holt abiding with league protocol and will not say anything to Kings Lynn until the official period for him to talk to Barrow starts. Yes we all know it is probably done and dusted already.
But Holt has the chance of working with a top non league manager that was until recently working in the football league. Would he get the same class experience at King Lynn. Its life! Crap happens, we have had a torrid time so, so what if Grant wants to further himself. I see it as an honour he thinks that our club and new boss is where he thinks it is best to learn.

I genuinely can’t remember the majority of our fan base (looking at social media etc) being this excited in a very long time

If this is correct,fantastic. However until I see official confirmation it has all the hallmarks of another PR disaster and if it doesn't come off the sh1t really will hit every fan on the Casson ranch,though it clearly wouldn't be their fault.As I read it at the moment we have given Kings Lynn seven days notice of approach and nothing else. From there someone has picked it up and run with it.Don't get me wrong, this has the potential to be our 'Dave and Daz' moment and propel us on a good run,but the backlash if it doesn't happen will be merciless.

A signing (player or coach) like this obviously means PC is tightening the purse strings. Well done Paul and Andrew. Over to you Pedro

Thanks glad to see we are following protocol yet again suppose its the way of the world Donald Trump would be proud of us.
A really good signing and from a Evostik club thats really burst the budget , Holt is a improvement. all we need now is 2 wingers at least one midfielder and a centre half.

Let me know paddy when we actually pay a fee for a player .

[Moribund]

Having read that non league article where he said it was a no brainer he sign for kings lyn cos of family etc and assistance in coaching role I think he has not treated them well.Yes he is ex pro played high level loads of experience
but appears he just following the money if coming back here.I can understand the people who think he be good asset but can’t say I am impressed with way he has gone about things.

Signing for Kings Lynn, he swapped no work for paid work - no brainer.
Now he's swapping non contract for a secure deal - that's a no brainer.

If he wasn't Grant Holt, and we just signed some random striker who'd been at Kings Lynn for five minutes, you wouldn't care less about how he'd gone about things.

The club management seem to have done things by the book. The leak apparently came from Kings Lynn. The club statement only came in response to that leak. I cannot understand why any backlash should happen against the Cassons or the club in general.

Fantastic to have Grant back at the club that kickstarted his impressive career, what he’ll have left in the tank for this level remains to be seen but of corse brings a wealth of experience to pass on to the current squad/future squads.
Credit to the club for this one, add to that the open training session for kids earlier in the week. Realy hope similar things continue.

He can certainly help make the strikers at the club better players especially the younger ones like Yuosuff,White and Harry P with his knowledge and experience.

Also he has crested a feel good factor already and he isn't here yet.

Lots of fans wanted him in as manager but to me this allows him to learn his trade in management alongside an experienced head in Pennock.

After the last few months it's great to have positivity back.
