    Don't agree with the length of the contract, but wish Holloway all the best.

    Let's all get behind him now, you never know, he might surprise us.

    You know what? I couldn't give a ****e what the miserable gits on this board say I f*cking loved reading Ollie's words there and definitely got a buzz now. he's achieved 3 promotions as well so he isn't an idiot.

    2.5 year deal is as surprising to me as it is all of us, can't say I'm overjoyed with that but I hope he can turn passion for the R's into performances on the pitch.
    Come on Ollie, get them going!

    Despite my logo I'm not sure this is the right thing for the club but his managerial record isn't that bad as people making out. 39% win ratio with us first time round I would take that again at moment.

    I am surprised at the length of the contract, but feel that this is a good move. Those lucky enough to be at the six-fingers game will certainly HEAR the difference, HQ will be buzzing.

    As a way of comparing, what was his win ratio at Blackpool and Millwall?

    Not sure but I'm not the one trying to justify someone's selection as our Manager.

    At Millwall, it was 22.5% according to a tweet by Toby Young, the QPR supporting political commentator

    Time will tell, of course.

    He was successful in getting both Blackpool and Millwall relegated.

    So.......a little more than one in five games he won. No wonder they got relegated.

    Ollie had something once, but I'm not convinced he has now. He'll have my support, and I hope I'm proved wrong

    Yes he had it with us 10-15 years ago. That's a long time ago and most of his jobs since have ended in failure. I also hope I am proved wrong and he is success but I am totally mystified how TF could select him based on his recent CV.

    I s'pose he's seen more Championship matches from his pundit work than most of us so he should know what's required.........Reserve judgement until the end of the season and see where we are then.......and yes we may be in League 1 before anyone says anything......
