Be be fair to him, before Millwall, as a manger he's done a decent job wherever he's gone apart from maybe Leicester?
Going back to where they belong along with Blackpool and Wigan hopefully Holloways Millwall record doesnt make good reading. Lost nearly half of their games with him in charge Played: 62 Won: 14 Drawn: 19 Lost: 29
I imagine Millwall's budget is one of the smallest in the Championship. I hope we pass them going the other way, because the games against them are always unpleasant
He will be back in work,done a decent job, Millwall was always going to be a struggle,done well elsewhere.
squad of 36 doesn't help.... and a quick look at whats left, well they look nailed on LGE 1 CANDIDATES next 2 Bolton and Brighton Wigan HAVE Watford AND Rotherham last seasons promoted club! 6 teams involved in survival..3 with a 8pts advantage, think HOLLERS GOT OUT IN GOOD TIME!
I can't stand the bloke, thank god he never got his mouldy claws on Bristol City, I'll say no more about him...
Holloway is one of life's characters and a great family man. He always calls things as he sees them and shoots from the hip without fear or favour. Football would be a lot poorer without the likes of him. He will never aspire to any of the top jobs as he will always be "difficult to control". So he's got the sack so what , many good managers have befallen the same fate. At the end of the day it is the players who win (or lose) matches.
He is statistically and has been recently voted the worst manager currently in the football league, there is a reason for that, he has been found out, lunatic rantings have only so much mileage and his ran out long ago. I can only thank God that no one was listening to the ridiculous calls from some of our less knowledgeable fans to bring him to this club, stating they could forgive the history between us as he was such a good manager (yeah thats right!) it would have been disastrous! I hope he slopes off to where he belongs.. non league obscurity!
Exactly! Blackpool was one of footballs biggest flukes and he took over a palace side who looked likely for automatics and just about got them in the play offs! Other than Blackpool he's done **** all.
He was **** then and he's **** now.! "Ian Holloway was last night sacked as manager of Bristol Rovers, the club he previously played for and pledged to remain with for the rest of his football career. The 37-year-old Bristolian, away from the ground this week with what was described as a virus, has struggled this season to find a settled or successful side and they are only one place off the Second Division relegation zone. The Rovers vice-chairman Geoff Dunford said: "We feel Ian has taken us as far as he can." "I'm very disappointed," said Holloway, Rovers' manager since 1996. "But the foundations are strong." (oh yeah, they really kicked on!) His anxiety was revealed recently when he was briefly involved in an altercation with fans near the dug-out. Rovers have still not won a home league game this season"
journeyman as a player, poor manager and no friend of this club, so sorry i really don't give a monkeys about him.
