Has he been approached?

Why, what has Holloway done. Besides being a great bloke he took Blackpool up and brought them straight back down.

they had 39 points with no player or himself earning over £10,000 per week, on a team of nobody's except charlie adam....pretty impressive i think :shock:

Not for me sorry ! Great, Blackpool were a fantastic story but at the end of the day they were relegated - R-E-L-E-G-A-T-E-D !

I've said this over and over again - he's only done well at clubs with low expectations, i.e Blackpool and Plymouth. Put him in charge at a club with much higher expectations, i.e Leicester, and he gets them relegated.

I don't think he'll ever repeat his success at Blackpool, it was a once in a lifetime achievement.

Mad as a box of frogs

yup, I would be happy with Holloway! A manager who has proved they can get success at this level on a limited budget and play attractive football at the same time, plus im sure we could beat his salary at Blackpool. What worries me is that it is obvious we havent asked Blackpool permission to talk to him!

Re: Ian Holloway

Can't see it happening, but I am sure if his name was added to any poll he would come out tops.

Agree. I think his success at Blackpool was a flash in the pan. I don't rate him at all.

He is full of hot air. It works for a little while but the players and fans soon see through it.

I genuinely think that Holloway would be about as bad an appointment that we could make. He'd take us down.

He's right down there with Strachan and Dowie imo.

I'm not a huge fan of Holloway. His side played decent football last year but his whole thing of talking bollocks when on TV and having rants etc just seems like shameless self promotion. The guy's a joke.

Everyone else seems to think he's brilliant. :roll:

Totally agree, his ego took over and his southampton outburst was cring worthy.

Nothing impressive about being a loser

Also I guess robins did a similar job for Barnsley just a league lower down yet he isn't rated?
