5 years ago today

5 years ago today Ian Holloway walked out on Argyle for Leicester. 1 admin and 2 relegations later we'd do anything to have those days back!

 

[Graham Evans]

In a heart beat , best manager we have had in recent years.Pity the board at the time faild to notice.

 

[Sam Barker]

Feels like a hell of a lot longer than 5 years.

 

[Quintrell Green]

Feels like a hell of a lot longer than 5 years.

It feels like a generation for me.

Whatever happened to him? :greensmile:

 

[Greenskin]

Whatever happened to him? :greensmile:

I think he's at some tin pot club in South London now. :lol:

 

[BadBoy]

Whatever happened to him? :greensmile:

He just walked out on another contract, and is currently talking up his latest club apparently he wants to paint some south London landmark red and blue.

Absolutely, but after administration the only way is up

Hate to think which landmark you mean. He didn't walk out on Blackpool though. Palace approached their chairman who allowed Ollie to speak with them and then compensation was paid. Nothing underhand whatsoever.

When QPR sack Hughes - another contract ripped up by Hollowords.

Bleedy hell - they were the days seeing us in the top 6-8 :sigh:

You sure there wasn't any 'encouragement' for Palace to make contact, any 'clues' that Hollowords might be interested? There are a lot of service stations between London and Blackpool.

I'd wish us back to the championship in a heartbeat but I'd never wish to be associated with that back stabbing two faced brizzle spiv. He may be good, he may well have been proved right about Argyle since but he led me into his taxi only to leave me as chuffed as a badger at the start of culling season. He lied to us, he left us high and dry having only days previously told us his blood ran green.

He burst our bubble and took our innocence, he's the football dream equivalent of a certain BBC children's presenter and for that he can never be forgiven.

If I wish any former manager back it'd be every single other manager and caretaker manager first headed by Luggy all the way down to the ill fated 'Team Nisbet/Gillett' (one for the pub quizers there). If every single one of them were unavailable I'd then fold the club before taking him back.

 

[monkeywrench]

Nisbet/Gillett, caretaker managers after Dan Mac sacked David Kemp. Both replaced by Shilton. If memory serves!

Back to holloway, his leaving hurt more than any manager before or since.

 

[bandwagon]

Hollowhead was a self-promoting, two-faced merchant - also quite a good mananger!!
'Where d'ya fancy next luv'?

 

[Suffolk Green]

5 years ago & we have all aged by 10 years!!!

Never be taken in by anyone who claims to have green blood if they have at sometime in their past held another club close to their heart. We as football fans know that you can only really have one club in your heart and you can never really change. If any manager tells you different then take it with a pinch of salt.

Ollie wanted to go in a different direction than the board. It was as simple as that and I can't see why a lot of my Argyle friends still can't see that.
