I guess 23rd in the table, it was always going to happen. Shame some of the players can't get sacked for underperforming, which is probably closer to the reason they are in that position.
We should give him a job back at QPR as at least a replacement for Steve Black. Who needs Steve when Ollie comes up with real heart on your sleeve passion like this... Taken from 2001, following our relegation to League 1 “No words can do justice to how I feel. Devastated doesn’t even start to cover it. To have played for this great club in the premier division and see it now, in the third division for the first time since the 60s. It’s a tragedy. It breaks my heart. And to think how those QPR fans will feel, having come from what we had to this, here today. I feel sick. Absolutely sick. But let me tell you this: QPR will rise again. I promise you that. Like a phoenix, it will rise again. We’ve lost everything, but everything we’ve lost we’ll get back. Trust me on that. We’ll get it all back. Whether I’ll be the manager when that happens, I don’t know. I’d like to be. I can at least get the whole thing started. Believe me, I’ll be proved right. Remember me saying this. QPR will get back there again - back to how it was a few years ago and the years before that. Mark my words. Remember them. It will happen, I’m telling you. Everything we’ve lost, we will get back.” I will always be a huge fan of his and I hope he gets back into management very soon. Football is a better place having the likes of Ian being a part of it in my opinion!
They sacked him too early, why couldn't they have waited a few more weeks until the Wall were safely and mathematically gone?
Always liked Ollie both as a player and manager. He wears his heart on his sleeve and is an honest but sometimes too open bloke.
Sad for Ollie as he's a nice lad. Millwall? Scum fans. Thank god we won't be playing them next season.
We should get him back to LR. If I was Tony, I'd create a job for Ollie. How about Motivational Coach?
Nice chap but deserved the sack. They're cut adrift now and the Board hope a last roll of the dice will inject some impetus into the team. Buck stops with the Manager
Buck only stops with the manager because it's so fricking difficult to kick a player out, their contracts are so watertight. Maybe if a few did get dumped for poor performance (like everyone else in the world) some of them would try a bit harder.
OK so he's not a Jose Mourinho of a manager but let's not forget he has three promotions on his CV, two of which were to the prem. He can't be that bad a manager, plus he has achieved this at clubs that did not spend big.
I like him and I'm sure he'll be fine. I hate Millwall and hope and pray that they get relegated, back to where they belong!
