Even the things they may not have actually done are usually a symptom of their mismanagement.AddicksAddict said:

This is not true. He was ready to sign for us despite being advised against it by football people within our club. the sole reason he didn't sign was Roland's refusal to put in the contract he could full control over the team.Swisdom said:

As an aside I can confirm that S Unt are trying to tie him into a new 4 year contract as bigger clubs are sniffing around. He is considering his options.
I don't know where you get your information but it is wrong. If you look back over my many posts over the years the only ones I state as factual are ones about Chris Wilder.1 -

Seen reports he was going to Sheff U, then he would sign a new contract and then he is going to Sheff U again. Get the feeling he will go sadly. Hope I''m wrong.0

Another bid rejected according to KR,more than one club in for him now as well. I will be shocked and very pleasantly surprised if hes still with us come September 1st. Still in talks with the club re new contract apparently.0

I think Southend are interested so might be them.
He lives there so that would be the only attraction for him2 -
Them offering would be nothing short of an insult. Can't imagine they would be able to afford nearly what us and Sheffield United could offer anyway.Southendaddick said:I think Southend are interested so might be them.

He's off. Can't say I blame him. Reading yesterday's SLP with comments from the manager about Marshall, made my mind up that Holmes won't be here soon.
Reading that new link, just underlines that he will go in my opnion
From 12 months ago
Holmes made a transfer request to Northampton on 15 June 2016 after repeated bids by Charlton and one day later after the 2 clubs eventually agreed a fee of £125,000, Holmes signed a two-year deal with the Addicks being the first signing for new manager Russell Slade.0 -

Cant help but think that if he was staying, it would be sorted already.0
-
If Southend were interested the only deal we should be looking at is a straight swap for Ryan Leonard, has as much quality as Holmes if not more.0

Was it Holmes that was on Holiday at the moment? I can see him signing on his return. (I expect he'll be just behind Tex in the salary brackets)0

He's just booked his second honeymoon in Sheffield.1
-
When we signed him I was thoroughly underwhelmed and then struggled through his first interview, his sniffing all the time annoyed me. Now I would be gutted if he left proper fans player, ability matched by desire.0
-
Very good player one we should hold onto. if he signs a new deal with us it will show a sign of intent, if not then nothing's changed.
Fingers crossed.0 -

That is one enormous fart he's letting off in that tweet.
Whether or not he agrees a new contract with Charlton this summer, if Roland receives an offer he (on a whim) considers adequate Holmes will be available to the bidder. We know this, cos this has happened throughout the septuagenarian shit4brain's tenure. If, like Michael Morrison or Chris Solly, Holmes doesn't like the move he won't have to take it.
The timing or size of any incoming fee will be irrelevant because KR (whomever) won't get to spend it on replacements.
From the nature of the players signed already, my money is on Holmes being available to Sheff U or anyone proffering a sufficiently large sounding fee. As far as tommy underpants or roly the grouch understand things, Clark, Fosu & Marshall are all the same as RH anyway.
Securing the services of Jason Pearce enthused me for a minute or two but that was soon reined in by the wider real experience of the last 3 and a half years.
As with all his predecessors KR will be expected to generate results with whatever ragtag, tissue-thin, rabble is on the books on 1 September. If that rabble proves inadequate or injury prone, KR will pay with his job, just like BP, GL & RS.
The absence of any senior leftbacks or goalkeepers strike me as the most pressing issues.

Another interview.
Holmes says Kashi is the best "number 6" in the league. Robinson clearly likes referring to their roles by their number.4 -
Sorry Ricky, but a number six is a centre back

Didnt realise that Holmes had played with Marshall @ Barnet2
-
Two more exquisite goals. What makes him so special is his willingness to graft - often not the case with a player of his quality. He really did make Ipswich look ridiculous at times.10

This fella is going to turn into a CAFC legend in a Claus Jensen styleee.
Top man.7 -
Really looking forward to seeing what the season holds for him. Going to be very interesting.
Lets 'ave it Rickyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy0 -
They both played against us in a league cup game at The Valley.ForeverAddickted said:Didnt realise that Holmes had played with Marshall @ Barnet
Marshall started and looked decent and rapid then. I may have even suggested him as one to watch. Ricky came on from the bench towards the end.1 -
A very interesting interview, the club all pulling in the same direction according to him....good news at last? I'm back in the UK for a couple of weeks, and after watching the Ipswich game live on Valley Pass I've decided to attend the opening game of the season for the first time since our promotion winning season under Chris Powell. It'll be interesting to see the attendance and feel what the atmosphere will be like. I'm quietly optimistic about the season, definitely more so than the previous two. Is this a false dawn or the beginning of a turnaround? Time will tell and, come the end of August after we have played a few competitive games, we will have a better idea. It does seem to feel a bit different, but what are the reasons for that? Is it, as has been said on another thread, RD is ready to go and the Aussies are ready to move in, or has RD changed his approach? Once again who knows, but for me the team need to do the business on the pitch and serve up winning and attractive football. If they can do that then all well and good, but for now I'll reserve my judgement until the end of August and the end of the transfer window. I'm back off abroad again soon, so Saturday is my chance, of which there wont be many this season, to go and have a look for myself.6
