Colman and Bell both went public saying they wanted new contracts but Holt was telling them to wait when Accy were in the playoffs. Holt went on a rant saying that the relegation was their fault the season before and that they'd signed loads of crap player's. Then he came out saying that the club was losing £1m a year and he wasn't footing the bill anymore so high wages were a thing of the past. So it looks like this is a combination of money saving and him not trusting their judgement anymore. Terrible statement, they deserve more than 2 paragraphs. I would have thought that they would have gone at the end of the season so that they got the chance to say goodbye to the fans properly.There was a fall out earlier in the season about not renewing Colmans contract. I think Holt said most managers would probably have been sacked after the drop. IMHO most football is unsustainable so for me a rich person’s hobby & a potentially expensive one at that. Holt seems ok to me from what I know. I think he’s had enough of spending & no doubt stick from all angles, which is why he’s trying to sell the club to somebody who’s genuine. Who would want to own a football club
Totally agree - look at some of the clubs Accy are above in League Two - no such thing as an easy ride in any league.I've never liked Andy Holt, he likes the attention too much.
Like I said I think Holt has had enough of spending & stick from all sides. We don’t exactly know if things were handled correctly or there’s been a spat between them all. I suspect the latter.Colman and Bell both went public saying they wanted new contracts but Holt was telling them to wait when Accy were in the playoffs.

Holt two weeks ago was listing a load of players who have spent their whole time in the treatment room, costing him £500,000 in wages. Writing was on the wall then as clearly he didn't trust the managers judgement any more.Colman and Bell both went public saying they wanted new contracts but Holt was telling them to wait when Accy were in the playoffs.

Reminds me of another club closer to home !!!Holt two weeks ago was listing a load of players who have spent their whole time in the treatment room, costing him £500,000 in wages. Writing was on the wall then as clearly he didn't trust the managers judgement any more.
So the manager gets the blame if players get injured? I don't see Klopp getting pelters because half the Liverpool squad are injured. The fact is that Coleman has had them punching above their weight for years and one relegation to what you would think is more their natural level and Holt has turned on him. Let's see what Holts judgement is like now because he's going to have to do very well to get a manager anywhere near as good.Holt two weeks ago was listing a load of players who have spent their whole time in the treatment room, costing him £500,000 in wages.

He did another post as well saying that the club was supposed to be all about progressing youth players as that's what would make them sustainable, but that hadn't been happening and they'd lost promising talents because they didnt see a path into the first team. So I agree, the writing was definitely on the wall.Holt two weeks ago was listing a load of players who have spent their whole time in the treatment room, costing him £500,000 in wages.

Harsh , I don’t particularly like either of them , regardless of that they’ve done a decent job, I’m not sure who Accrington could get as an upgrade unless holt puts a shitload of money in which is doubtfulColeman - bellend
Holt - bellend
Eventually this pair of gobchites were always gonna clash.
Hmm. Maybe we should take note.He did another post as well saying that the club was supposed to be all about progressing youth players as that's what would make them sustainable, but that hadn't been happening and they'd lost promising talents because they didnt see a path into the first team.

Puts a different light on things. Obviously has the club’s best interests at heart. Hope they surviveFull explanation of what's been going on behind the scenes. Bell doesn't come out of this looking very good.
