I suspect Fernandes will cough up quick enough if he thinks it's the only thing that will save us from the drop and consequent loss of revenue
Point taken Seagull but I fear Holloway's pay off would pale into insignificance compared to the loss of revenue due to playing L1 football.....He will be on a (comparatively) low package as third/fourth choice at the time when we were trying to replace JFH (remember he was not managing a club). As for Rowett not wanting to come when we sacked JFH, wasn't that down to Birmingham saying the compensation package would be massive if we tried to tempt him away? Anybody can see what a great job he did at Birmingham with a crazy owner selling all of his best players/no money/arguably a lesser squad than us - he is only out of work due to the madness of their owners. Don't get me wrong - I really do like Ollie as a bloke & I will carry supporting the club that I have supported since 1979 (I'm going to Brighton on the 27th & the Ipswich game on the 2nd) but I genuinely believe that if we stick with Holloway we will (as I have said in a previous post) be supporting our team at MK/Gillingham/Wimbledon/Charlton etc next season. Like some of the other posters on here I think we have some decent players - just poor coaching/systems/formations/tactics etc.
Loftus Rd was like a morgue today. Atmosphere awful. Not one of our players broke a sweat today. None collapsed on the ground at the final whistle with exhaustion.None looked distraught. Almost all laughed and talked with the villa players. Our players simply are not working hard enough. No passion, no energy and no desire. Sound familiar.
Several of the supporters around me saying they've had enough. My uncle said that was the final straw, "we're too boring".
We wouldn't score in the preverbial brothel. No confidence, too slow, no pace, no creativity.
IMO we're going down. A team that can't score is in big trouble.

I'm afraid I don't see too many decent players in our squad, we have five or six at the most who would be squad players at best if we were looking to challenge for the play-offs, Smithies is the only player who would be guaranteed a start. As I said earlier this squad wouldn't make the League One play-offs, no creativity, no goalscorers, suspect defenders, unable to keep possession. How many times have we played lower league opponents in recent years and been embarrassed by teams outplaying us?
It's not Ollie's fault, he's been dealt a bum deal by Sir Les and TF's 'austerity drive' recruiting rubbish players who just aren't good enough...
This is a diabolical and total f**k up.
What a complete and utter mess our club has become. I know there have been bad years - but considering the resources of the owners this has to be the worst ever mess this club has been in - we are facing L1 square in the face.

I think the gloom and doom on here is overdone. Certainly we are underperforming, mainly in creating goal-scoring opportunities, but today's performance was not so bad. As happened on Wednesday, we lost to a bad goal defensively after being worth at least a draw. We have a reasonable squad of players in my opinion, it remains to be seen if Holloway can get them playing to their potential.
I tell you what's damning - Mackie looked like our best player when he came on.
Onouha is, was and always will be the poorest excuse for a footballer, let alone be club captain.
Ollie seems to be trying to get some stability whilst at the same time be a bit more attacking, seems as though that is something this squad is incapable of.
Dark days currently, how long before Ollie jumps on his sword - I'd think 4 more straight defeats and he'll be off.
Hope fans don't turn on him - for those needing blood, look no further than Fernandes and Ferdinand.
Were we worth a draw? We created nothing while they missed a penalty and forced several good saves.
I could fully understand our predicament if we were a poor club,but the state were in is down to total incompetentcy from TF et al.
If he fell in a barrel full of pussy he would come out sucking a c**k

I don't think Villa deserved the win, and neither did Derby. In both games we matched the opposition, but couldn't create goal-scoring opportunities. And in both games we lost due to late defensive lapses.
All teams have a bit of luck or bad luck along te way..but look at league table it dont lie..
