Holohan

Interested to know if anyone knows if Gav has got fixed up anywhere?
Still think about the Notts goal and the two pens at Southampton!  Hoping he has found something.

He was on a LNER train heading north (towards Leeds) last Friday.

His pal told me he's had an offer from Notts County, no idea if true?

I’ve heard Crawley are interested in him. If it’s also true about Notts County then looks like some decent clubs are after him

I’d be amazed at this. We released him a season too late.

I'd be expecting Holohan to turn up at a northern team in the National League, or in the National League North so he can commute from Hull.

If he can get a deal at this level then fair play to him!

Good luck to him if he can get it but he's nowhere near L1 standard.

Wasn't the same said about Terry Taylor?...
Holohan has something to offer an EFL team, but more aa a squad filler than a nailed name in the match day squad.

Yes but Taylor was at the start of his career, not 32 and in decline. Holohan hasn’t spent much of his career in L2, let alone L1 and you reckon that he’ll suddenly be up to that level as he approaches his 33rd birthday?

Wouldn’t surprise me to see him back at Hartlepool.

Good lad Gav, hope he gets the best move possible. I know he’s got coaching qualifications so maybe he’s exploring his options.

He's in the video with the Mullarkey reveal...in full Crawley training kit...

I like Gav as a bloke and love what he did for the club, but you have to say that’s a bizarre signing from Crawley.

Great for Gav though

Wow.

Good luck Gav!!

2 year deal, Good for you Gav

Thoroughly decent bloke and wish him nothing but the best

Pleased for him. Definately one of the good guys.

Good for Gav, he's a top bloke.

But if this is the calibre of Crawley's signings for L1 then I will be having a flutter on them to be relegated.

Didn’t see this one coming. Wish him nothing but the best.

Really pleased for him, but doubt he will pick up many winners bonus.

Good luck to Gav and Toby but Crawley have lost their marbles

Brilliant news for Gav, not sure what Crawley’s strategy is though.

American owners haven’t they? Not sure the understand the concept of promotion and relegation.

Actually, thinking on lets hope we got the money up front for Mullarkey.

Two-year deal as well. I’m very much in the camp of those who loved him and thought he was brilliant for us - one of the single most influential players this side of the millennium when you look at his contributions, but assumed he’d be making a step down, not up.

Good luck to him though, can’t help but wish the bloke well. Scott Lindsey has been fantastic for Crawley, easily the manager of the season last year. Assuming he’s involved in recruitment, then maybe he sees something us mere mortals don’t. Who knows?

Wow! I was expecting a national league club at best. Cracking effort from Gav’s agent there. Good on him!

Don't think Gav is a League 1 player, but I wish him well.

To look at this another way, it’s heartening to see players go on to decent things after leaving Town. For so many years BP was where the careers of players and managers came to die - how many dropped out of the professional game completely after exiting in the noughties and 2010s?

It’s a very subtle sign of the progress the club has made imo, even if we might not be direct beneficiaries in this instance.

He must have bitten their hands off for a 2 year deal.

Hope he does really well for them.

Good call, I never anticipated we'd be pipelining Crawley though.

Best wishes to both of them, especially Gave. He was a good servant for the club and had many excellent games in our promotion season.

A fantastic move for him but I only saw it likely that he would move down a division, not up. Hopefully, he'll hit a purple patch and chip in with some goals just like he did with us during his first season and a half with the club.

I’ve just had a very quick glance at Crawley’s transfer business. Looks like they have lost a number players from their promotion season (Orsi and their goalkeeper included), and have signed a number of players from League 2 clubs.

They look destined for relegation to me.

Still looks like another empty seat next to mullarkey to me

Wilson?

32 and playing League One football for the very first time in his career.  Good luck Holohan.  Would be quite amusing if Crawley do very well and end up in the top 8 lol.

Many (myself included) thought Crawley were certainties for the drop last season and look how that panned out. On the face of it, their summer recruitment this year paints a similar picture, albeit in League 1.

One of a handful of players from the last 20 years that I’ll remember fondly, not a legend but someone who gave everything and understood the fans

Really love Gav, the play off campaign and the FA cup run, he was absolutely pivotal in both. But for me he's conference level at the moment so really surprised to see him go to a league 1 team. Great move for him!

They seem to know our telephone number now. Instead of press 1 for the ticket office, 2 for commercial etc. do they get ‘dial 1 for Mullarkey, 2 for Holohan, 3 for ******?’

Phew! They can have Wilson (a little begrudgingly) or Pyke.

Came here to say this.

*strops off*

Didnt reach the form from the previous season unfortunately ....but fck me he has played a blinder there !!  All the best , guaranteed a warm reception. Thank you.

Love Gav and what he brought to us in his first 18 months. Brilliant move for him as he's really fallen on his feet there - as they're in a different division I can wish him all the best with no caveats.

I really liked Gav.

But if Crawley think that he and Mullarky will make a similar impact to Orsi they might be a little disappointed.

Same.  Their summer dealings 12-months ago looked very poor and destined to see them relegated.  Just shows what we know as fans...

Despite getting caught out by them last season, I still think they'll struggle this season.  Big step-up and a lot of their key players gone.  However, there has to be a strong nod of acknowledgement to what their recruitment approach is and how it is clearly picking stuff up that no-one else is.  

I wasn't overly disappointed to see Holohan go as I thought he had run his course with us, that's not taking away what he did for us either!  I guess without having seen any of the replacements yet, my slight concern would be that there's a risk we've lost both of our tempo setters of the last 3 years in Holohan and Clifton at the same time.  

Regardless, it's a great move for Holohan and it's rare that you see a player move on and genuinely wish that he does well. Holohan firmly falls into that category.

Quoted from Hagrid

2 year deal, Good for you Gav

Fair play to Gav, awesome for him, but good god, Crawley are in trouble here. I dread to think how we’d do in L1, let alone a depleted Crawley.
