He s probably not happy at some idiot fans shouting he needs to make a statement about this Alex May bloke.
Ollie has always said he leaves the business side to the board not including himself.

Maybe he is finding out how bad and fickle some of our fans are after a not ideal start to the season but lets face it no worse than it has been for years.  
Lets face it we get a win and people scream promotion, get a loss and its relegation.  

A complete rebuild of the team and we are struggling, the building blocks are there but not the patience.

Quoted from Tommy
Jesus, some of the posts on here!

Is it such a ridiculous idea to wait to see what he has to say and then react to what he actually does say?


Oh as Burnsy would say "give your head a wobble" this is the fishy and talking sense is not allowed. If you haven't a false rumour, can't twist the words, have no inside knowledge, don't know someone who someone knows whose got a mate that's overheard a conversation, if you want to sack everyone or want a poll on a bleedin obvious question then your not part of this community 😉🙄🤔

Quoted from pontoonlew
If anybody actually listens to what Holloway says in his interview, it's quite clear he's not wanting to leave the club but like most of us is annoyed at what the powers that be have done.

I feel like whatever his statement later says, it'll be to the advantage of Shutes. It'll also likely bring national media attention to what's going on at our club at the minute which can only be a positive IMO, the more pressure on JSF the better.


He actually says quite a lot in the interview and quite a lot in the post-match after the game the other night. He's not the sort of person to keep his thoughts to himself. A prepared co-authored statement is not as spontaneous and to-the-heart as the comments he has already made. But we'll see.

Ollie did say months ago, that if Tom Shutes took over, he would leave, oh well.


He didn't say he would leave. He said he would have to rethink about his situation at the club. Not quite the same thing.

The bee all and end all is what Ollie wants to do.

He has the choice of backing his 'bezzie mate' JSF, who along with the rest of the Board have put nothing into the club in the last year, therefore leaving him on the breadline with only two thrupenny bits to use for transfers. To continue with this option as is, he will be gone before the end of the season in my eyes

or

He backs a takeover by THREE investment businessmen who may not have an affinity with GTFC, but will bring much needed funding in to be used for the team, the training ground, and even a new ground. They may only want it as a business, but no businessman invests to throw his money away. This is the long term option which could see Ollie firmly encamped in GTFC folklore

You, like me have no idea of the level of funding they will bring. You are guessing, and I dont think we will ever know.

I have listened to the RH interview, and it is much more positive than the Telegraph headline.

He is obviously hurting like the rest of us, but he naturally wants his say on this weeks events, and is putting out a carefully worded and professional statement in due course.

He hints it will be a rallying call to supporters. Lets hope we get a positive result this weekend, and get some further news about the takeover talks asap.

True, but it is likely to be more than the sodomist all we have got at the minute.

As many have said, it is the expertise and collegiate way of doing things that will probably have the biggest effect, but I am sure they will be in a much better position to find investors and sponsors and helpers and bring a much-needed sense of purpose to the club.
