Ian Holloway

Quoted from GollyGTFC

Did I imagine him getting MK Dons promoted last season?

Doesn’t count. Plastics.

Would much rather tisdale than Holloway but doubt we will get either.

What did  anyone expect IH to say when asked about the speculation linking him with Town ? P.iss himself laughing , say the clown of the chairman offered me £50k a year , a scratched up S class , a transfer budget that’s smaller than a mouses co.ck and his spare room to lodge in during the week . But it’s a famous old club so yeah why not ?

He’s a media savvy bloke with far too much experience to make himself look a kn.ob and has too much respect for other clubs/ professionals- he always comes across well on tv and talkSPORT. He said all the right things . But I really can’t see it happening. A lot of fishy peoples dreams are going to be burst I reckon .

The board at GTFC go from one extreme to another when we make managerial changes.

After trying a young, up-and-coming non-league prospect in Bignot, we went with the tried-and-trusted warhorse in Slade.

Then, when that went mammaries up, we go for a young, up-and-coming manager with every qualification under the sun. A proper coach with intellect and an education.

And when that didn't work out? Well, the board's swing-o-meter goes completely the other way to the been-there-done-that sort of manager, with hundreds of league games under his belt (if we really are after Holloway).

I don't know what the answer is because I don't actually know what the question is. Are we looking for a manager to get us out of a rut and avoid relegation? Are we wanting a manager who can build a team at this level with a view to get us promoted on a shoestring budget over the next 2-3 years?

Are we investing in the next manager as part of a longer-term 'project', as it was intimated when we appointed Jolley?

There are still too many unanswered questions for me. I'm not sure what the board's long-term plan is, and I doubt there is one. We need to be absolutely crystal clear, as a club, what it is that we want before we dive in and appoint the next manager.

Because living from one manager to the next with no long term vision or any semblance of strategy to help us achieve that vision has not been serving us well for a very long time now.

Does anybody know why Holloway has been out of work so long -could he have been waiting for a lucrative job like the great GTFC to come along ?

The above link is from the AGM a month ago and some thoughts from JF about where we are going as a club from about 46 mins onward. Stick with it until the 59 minute mark, it may give some clues. Of course, we still haven't won a game since then, so the thinking may have altered, but the gist of it will still be relevant.

Ask him when he becomes manager. 2 prem promotions to his name, managed Championship sides.
