Big Mistake Mr Holloway!

Joining a sinking ship is never a good idea.

I think Holloway is a very good manager & would love him at the albion personally,but leaving plymouth to go to leicester has defo proved a wrong move.

If he goes....then that for me would be the right thing for all parties. Because the relegation sydrome can be unkind to managers who get given 6-10 games of the next season to be in the top four or there gone...

The lure of a 30k all seater and money was a big thing for holloway, but form is temporary....class is permanant and he will rise back and hopefully one day be in charge of us.

Whatever team he is with the performance is always the same, mid-level championship. Well apart from Leicester but that was going down the swanny anyway with Mandric there. He will get them up if he stays but it will only be mid-table again in the Champ.

I take it this is some kind of sick JOKE, right ?


:laugh:

No it isnt a sick joke!

He did a great job at plymouth...no-one can deny that..they loved him down there and it wasnt because he gives a good post match interview.

He had a small budget and turned them into playoff contenders....and that is wha I call a good job.

He has more character,passion and motivation in his right finger than the whole of Dean wilkins.

You would have to question the judgement of anyone who thinks Leicester is a better place to live and work than Plymouth.

I think his post match comments are quality...the media treat most people like scum and he makes a mockery out of them..he's class.

How can you be glad he failed.....if he was palace then or a rival manager.??

ok, not maybe 'glad' but i do find it funny

he obviously thought he was onto a winner with leicester, and going to end up in the premiership as they cruised past plymouth in the table who were obviously going to plummet without him

Agreed 100%, thank GOD for that. I also cannot stand this eccentric persona that surrounds him, and the weekly updates we have to endure in ITV's The Championship. He isn't THAT good a manager. Did a decent job at Plymouth, but what he's done at Leicester shows that he can't be that good. He actually signed players at Leicester and still failed to keep them up. Someone to compare him to would be Kevin Keegan, who has done a great job with the same players. I hope the chirpy dickhead 'Ollie' takes a bit of back seat now and stop bombarding us with his native tales.

byf - the guy is a complete GIMP. He's more interested in coming up with tedious one-liners and chucklesome soundbites in the media than anything else. He's really quite cringeworthy. Brian Clough he most certainly ain't.

He spent over £1m and that was just transfer fees. Plymouth have a great deal of potential, particularly with a large support and buying their stadium of the council for a (relative) peppercorn sum. Granted, it is not a huge amount in terms of some Championship teams, but they had the core of a good team. He inherited a decent squad, bought some more players and then farked orf when a bigger team offered him some more cash. Nice.

Glad to see you were able to get a Wilkins dig in there somewhere. :clap:

EXACTLY! Surely it was him who let the likes of Jason Roberts, Nathan Ellington etc leave Bristol R as well?

some times the best teams don't allways have the best individuals you can't judge a manager on one or two players if we did that there would be so many to judge if you look at his recordes its pretty decent compared to most managers at his level

I'm pretty sure there are LOADS of other strikers he let go who went on to play in the premiership (Marcus Stewart might be one of them). I appreciate you have to allow mistakes, but I would have been pretty agrieved as a Bristol R fan, seeing all these former players go to the dizzy heights.
