    I reckon Les would have bought Tim Dim in if there hadn't been such clear disapproval from the fans.
    I think we need to offload him as well at the end of the season.

    I would love them to succeed, but Holloway was appointed out of past loyalties not hard-headed managerial acumen based on his current form

    So over the past 6 matches, suffering 6 defeats, we've transitioned from top of the form table to bottom - could only happen to us and St. Jude.

    Exactly,no place for sentimentality in appointing a manager..like i mentioned before,cheap fan appeasing appointment,and the mugs in charge gave an unemployable manager out of work a two year contract! You couldnt make it up :(

    IAN HOLLOWAY - Managerial career

    please log in to view this image


    Bristol Rovers
    Holloway took over a club that was struggling both on and off the pitch. The 1998–99 season ended with a somewhat disappointing 13th place. Holloway retired as a player following that season, having played more than 400 matches for Bristol Rovers, to concentrate fully on management. In 1999–2000, his last full season at the club, Rovers finished 7th, narrowly missing the playoffs.

    Queens Park Rangers
    In February 2001, midway through the 2000–01 season, Holloway was appointed manager of QPR, where he was given the task of keeping the team in Division One. He failed to do so, as QPR finished second from bottom and were relegated to the third level for the first time in 34 years.

    Holloway was suspended (sent on gardening leave) as manager by Queens Park Rangers on 6 February 2006. The reason given by the QPR board was that the constant rumours linking Holloway to the vacant managerial position at Leicester City were causing too many problems for the club.

    Plymouth Argyle
    On 28 June 2006, Holloway became the manager of Plymouth Argyle, and promised to take the club to the Premier League.

    Following press speculation, on 21 November 2007, Holloway submitted his resignation to the Plymouth Argyle board, with speculation that he was about to be offered the vacant managerial position at Leicester City.

    Leicester City
    On 23 May 2008, following the club's relegation, Holloway and Leicester City parted company by mutual consent. Reflecting on his time at Leicester, he said "Leicester City is a marvellous club and I am as devastated as anybody that this great club suffered relegation. I gave 100% to the cause but unfortunately we ran out of time. The fans here are a different class and deserve a lot, lot better. I'd like to wish everyone connected with Leicester City well for the future – the club will always remain close to my heart."

    Blackpool
    On 21 May 2009, it was reported that Holloway, after 364 days out of football, was set to be announced as the new manager of Blackpool following the departure of their caretaker manager Tony Parkes.
    In May 2012, Holloway guided Blackpool into The Championship play-offs for the second time in as many seasons in the division.

    Holloway's win percentage in League games as Blackpool manager was 37.8% (54 wins from 143 games). At the time of his departure, Holloway was the joint-ninth (with Harry Potts) longest serving Blackpool manager in terms of Football League games in charge.

    Crystal Palace
    On 3 November 2012, Holloway agreed to join Crystal Palace as manager. On 23 October 2013, after a 4–1 loss against Fulham, Holloway left the club by mutual consent after less than a year in charge.

    Millwall
    On 7 January 2014, he signed two-and-a-half-year contract with]Millwall. On 10 March 2015, for the first time in his managerial career, Holloway was sacked, with the team second from bottom in the Championship and having lost five of their last six games.

    Queens Park Rangers
    On 11 November 2016, Holloway was appointed as manager of Queens Park Rangers for a second spell replacing Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink....................????????????????

    19th position (and falling) is just not good enough

    I don't know what to think any more. 6 games ago we were saying things like 'we've got our rangers back' yet 6 games later under the same manager we are playing like dog ****e and now we're saying 'he's got to go'. Sometimes feels like no one can succeed here, no matter what players we have or who the manager is.

    I think we do have our rangers back,and solely to weeding out the mercenaries.The squad thats been badly assembled just aint up to it and nor is Ollie.This club isnt a poisoned chalice ,it just needs a proper manager and funds to get some quality in,and upper management needs to start wising up and quick!
