From what I've read, it seems Holloway handed in his keys rather than being fired. The Palace chairman said ""Ian's been very noble and he's come forward and said: 'I can't do it.' I've spent three days trying to get Ian in the frame of mind that he can do it." Holloway said "This club needs an impetus of energy - but I just feel tired to be honest. I'm worn out." I have sympathy for someone who's under that sort of stress. However, in interpreting why Holloway left us, one thing now looks sure. When the going gets tough, Holloway really gets going.
