Two relegations in the last three years of his managerial career.

If you thought Jones didn't have a plan B, wait til you see Holloway (which you won't, cos he's not coming).

I said that to my lad lastnight, hopefully we'll rid most of the wankers from the club and rebuild with players who show respect and want to succeed instead of sitting back and claiming easy money. But yeah love to have Hollie :ayatollah:

He's the blackpool manager and people are living in dream land on this forum talk of big players comming in yet we got 11 contracted players as we stand + players allowed to leave for nothing due to contracts being let to run down and last season all we done was buy 1center half under the new owners and aload of loan players not really good if you ask me in terms of squad building so i doubt it very much 99% of the names even mentioned on here will ever play or manage cardiff,this year will be a bottom half finish if we are lucky with freebies comming in and thats all it will be but we will all still be there thats the main thing.We are so close to going down the f*cking pan debt wise yet deluded people on here think we are going to splash out it makes me chuckle and they need to get real but hay thats the world of the net :ayatollah:

People always throw that at Ollie, he got leicester relegated......after that he took a year out of footie and travelled europe and totally changed his whole managerial philosophy.....he then took over blackpool and done wonders....got relegated on 39 points which he would have finished 15th last season!! He also had barely any money and a wage structure of no more than £10k a week in the prem to be halved if relegated......not many players go for that.....hes a real motivator and character and COULD do a job with us

I don't see what all the hype with Di Matteo is he has been in managment for three season, MK Dons finished 3rd lost playoff semi, then 2nd last year with a good West Brom team and half a season in the prem and he gets sacked hardly a glowing CV and not enough experience imo. I'd be happy with holloway though.

I wouldnt oppose Holloway being here! Plenty of energy, good with the fans and media, can build a successful team on peanuts, and plays attractive football! Fits the bill!

Leicester were struggling when he was appointed! He joined mid season and didnt have a chance to build a squad or make his mark on the team! After being sacked at leicester he took a year out watching football and learning new ways of playing! On his return to football with Blackpool he utilised his his new methods with stunning success, promotion in his first season on one of the smaller wage bills in the championship! Beats DJ's record hands down!

Jay was always going to leave, Burke wanted a stupid amount to stay £25k a week, or he wanted to go closer to scotland. We gambled on Ledley/Bothroyd and it didnt work, i dont beleive DJ had the full backing of TG/VT but their own appointment will (i hope) truth is none of us know, just speculation :ayatollah:

Re: BUGGER DI MATTEO, LETS GIVE HOLLOWAY A OFFER
