Im not sure about this all Ipswich talk with Matty, I did think this but on talk sport Matt himself stoped a calling and said people think of him as Ipswich but he spent the same amount of time with us and has a real effection for us.
Also on twitter he does talk about as Ipswich and Bouremouth equally.
Always liked him as a bloke and until pretty much the relegation season, was one of our best and most consistent performers on the pitch. Then lost his legs/was played at centre back but at the very least would always give 110%.
Always struck me as a manager's operative on the pitch, sort of like a Hall Monitor at school, making sure his team-mates followed the ideas and direction from the boss. Personally think we need someone like that now, because Semedo doesn't do it to the same degree and Dailly is too far back to do it effectively. Suppose that may be where the link to Plymouth's Fletcher came from if true, as evidenced yesterday, he does a similar job.
Can see why people would think he'll be a coach but he strikes me as enjoying his role on the Beeb for the time being.
Quote from the Bournemouth Echo in interview with Matt Holland
“At the start of this season, I thought I would still be playing but that didn’t happen for one reason or another. I am also halfway through one of my coaching badges but that has had to take a back seat because of the media work."
He seems to be a very busy man.

And he's a columnist for the Football League Paper.
I wouldnt agree with this appointment, he has not done any coaching, although, there is a first time for everything of course Chris powell being our manager but I didnt like him as a Charlton player and dont really think he could add anything in terms of experience. He has written about it on twitter.
Wouldn't like to risk having an inexperienced manager and coach. KP has to stay involved, his influence since Parky left has been huge. We now look like a well organised team who are looking to pass and play football in the proper way.
Seems unlike most on here I liked Matty and he was a great servant to the Club. I believe you will find he played as many games for us as Ipswich, maybe more. If that is who CP wants then fine but I'd prefer he appointed someone with more experience, Mervyn Day for example
This is what Matt Holland has put on twitter: mattholland8 Just watched football league show. Nothing to report on the rumour of becoming Chris Powells No2!!

Mervyn wont go anywhere without Curbs large, joined at the hip mate.

day's at leeds mate... curbs nowhere to be seen
Fair point Ledge & Large, I never knew that however I have just looked and he is scouting for them so hardly the big time, I still think we can do a lot better than having him back as an assistant/number two to CP.
Surely you'd want balance with such an inexperienced manager? Somebody that can help him out with the questions around how things work in practice and that has seen and done it before. Yes there's a club connection but Holland's heart (and house) lie much closer to Ipswich.

I'm heartened by KP overseeing things.
Agree, Len.
Peacock's a wise old head, got the experience as his own manager - and with Curbs in the Prem.
And already knows Powelly inside out.

Lucky he didn't have a career in snooker or reggae then.
