Ian Holloway

[littlejohn]

Ian holloways name as been touted round the training ground as a candidate. Hope this isn't true!

 

[bigbirdblade]

Why. He's pretty good.

 

[boo radley]

Love his accent.

 

[Torrix1889]

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. He is one manager I have always believed would turn up at BDTBL one day, also had exactly the same feeling about Martin Allen..

 

[grafikhaus]

Why. He's pretty good.

Based on what?

Love his accent.

Well, it's better than his record. 36.39% win ratio. Never above 40% in almost 20 years. That's worse than Parkinson. Have we really sunk this low? (Nigel Adkins is 48.75% - that's more like it.)

 

[Houso]

You mean he got Blackpool and Palace promoted with a win ratio of under 40%?

Presuming you're looking a wiki stats, then that includes tough Premier League seasons while at those clubs.

Ultimately, i would prefer Adkins and Robinson, but I don't hate the idea if Holloway despite him being a silly little gobshite.

You are making it sound that he has only managed in the lower divisions!!!

 

[Silent Blade]

Would love to have him. Did well at QPR, Plymouth, Blackpool and Palace

 

[SotonBlade]

Holloway.....not for me

 

[SK10Blade]

Great idea, no politically correct interviews and a team that would fight. It's good for a start for me.

 

[Aston max]

The post match interviews wunt send me to sleep anymore
And doesn't he hate warnock? ? Makes him a ideal candidate for me
Still no tongue in cheek avatar

Who exactly is hanging around the training ground this time of year?

 

[Pierre's PC]

Word around the campfire is that Mongo is a candidate.

Mongo only pawn...in game of life!

Would prefer Holloway to Parky

You got the point then?

A lot of it is show for the cameras, which he freely acknowledges. Came across as a thoroughly nice bloke in person.

 

[gavtheblade]

He's pot the loop.

 

[DaleHillBlade]

He's pot the loop.

Ideal candidate then, will always be guaranteed a welcome on the Shoutbox on a Saturday...

Strange because he was quite a fun figure for a good while with some memorable interviews.

He was also part of that documentary where you could see him looking after his daughters who I believe are deaf.

In the past 12 months he seems to have gotten headlines for the wrong reasons losing his rag.

It’s a pity that this is what he’s getting known for at the moment as there were plenty of positive press about him before.

We all go a bit Victor when we age.
Your tolerance level with others and yourself diminishes.

Are we getting Ian Holloway?!

Wilder loves a culture carrier…

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

I'd take him as a director of football. He's well connected and knows a good player when he sees one.
