Hollands leaves on loan

Good luck to Danny Hollands who moved to Gillingham today on loan for 3 months. Martin Allen seemed happy to get his man and we know that Hollands will do a good job for the Gills in League One.

Hollands has been a bit part player since we won promotion and has also been hampered by injury including whilst he was on loan at Swindon at the end of last year, which resulted in an early return to The Valley when I thought he may end up joining the Robins on a permanent deal.

Mind you Danny wasn’t overly complimentary about Paulo Di Canio’s methods when I spoke to him at the Sponsors Dinner in May, but it doesn’t come as any surprise that he has been moved on by Powell, which benefits both parties. Previously when Powell has allowed players to leave, it has meant we have seen a new face, although CP has denied that will be Emmanuel Frimpong.

I sponsored Danny for a couple of seasons and had the pleasure of his company and he really is a nice bloke. Good luck to him.
