An Evening With Ian Holloway

[Sainghin Green]

---

Just beat me to it! He made us competitive at the top end of the Championship which hadn't happened for many years, hasn't happened since and probably won't again in the next ten years.
He's also entertaining. Ok it was disappointing when he moved on - it's a pity other people don't seem to be able to.

On that premise, I could let you have a bottle of olive oil!

None of that cissy foreign muck for me.
'I'm hard because I eat Lard'.

Some Argyle fans still haven’t got over being dumped, just after he swore undying love for the Greens. I personally can’t see why what he did was any worse than Sturrock when he left. Holloway was arguably the best manager the club has had and lack of ambition is why they lost him. He had his purple patch subsequently at Blackpool and he’s yesterday’s man now. I still like him though.

Try, looking at the FACTS, why he left, absolutely different from why Luggy left.
Hollowords the ‘best manager the club has had’, don’t think so.
There is a lot of information, not out there, as to when he left, and why didn’t he sue Stapleton, when he said he would.
The bloke is an absolute clown.

 

[IJN]

He wanted double his wages to stay. FACT.

He was more than a clown Martyn he was a con artist.

The fact that he profited financially out of the SEB move to Wolves proves how much he loved Argyle.

His demands would have pushed us into Admin even earlier.

Of course it depends how you measure these things but “best manager ever”? Better than Sturrock, Waiters, Warnock, Smith to name but a few? Get real! One of his better ideas was to paint Smeaton’s Tower green! Prat doesn’t do it justice. He never actually won anything! Champion talker though.

Don't worry about DGO. He thinks Wednesday's manager is useless and should have been sacked weeks ago. Currently unbeaten in ten league games.

Bloody hell, with the squad at Hillsborough I reckon I could have em top six.
I hope he does completely turn things around, but no question he probably came within one defeat of the sack at Accrington after that pathetic performance down here in the cup. I certainly wasn’t in a minority of Owls who thought he should go, that’s for sure.

With regards to Holloway, I did say 'arguably' 😀

Never won anything? Well he won a Championship play off final, something no Argyle manager has ever done or ever looks like doing.

Surely you’d have to put Neil Warnock and Tony Pulis’s achievements at their various clubs above those of Ian Holloway at his.

 

[Kentishgreen]

And arguably Bovril is better than Marmite. I wonder under which chairman he achieved his godlike status?

Of course.

I am going to the game at Ipswich, unless Peppa pig changes it, but won't be going to his chat,

If you were a football manager (a profession where you could get sacked at any moment) and Leiceister offered to double your wages, maybe you would consider taking up a job there. I bet most people would !

The truth is Argyle managers either get sacked , or they get poached by clubs that can pay more money.
