Ian Holloway

Quoted from Ipswin

I'm sure you are right in that.

Appointing Holloway would have an amazing effect amongst the fans but I am not at all sure whether, given what he has to work with, he could turn things around results-wise which IMO is the most important part.

Personally I'd take boring hoofball 1-0 wins over interesting and possibly exciting football resulting in narrow defeats any day.

Whoever gets the job only a top 12 finish will do.

Fact is though, that's the kind of mentality that has pervaded at BP for donkey's years - a top half finish in the bottom league of the EFL? FFS, we are Town and we deserve better, especially the diehards that are to be found at all corners of the country cheering the teamm on. We HAVE to aim for promotion, nothing less, and nothing less is good enough -, otherwise it gives JF and the board yet another excuse to philibuster.

We can aim as much as we like but the manager hasn't been born who is going to get the current lot promoted and I wasn't talking about this season anyway  - please read the post I was replying to before you criticise - 12th will do this season

The discussion was not how Holloway would take us to the Premier League or even League 1, merely that simply appointing him would get the fans interested again and bring a buzz back to BP which I agree with but how long will the 'feel good factor' last with our fickle fans

For my part I don't give a excrement if the football is entertaining or not frankly, the result is more important but many when moaning about the Conference (despite our win ratio) seem think entertainment is the key factor

Totally agree with you and Swin but as soon as we say such heresies back come the “realists” with “we are where we are” and “stop living in the past” and all the rest of it. We have to start somewhere with a climb back to respectability and we need to start with a bang, a signing that brings another thousand on the gate would do nicely.

I can't stand Holloway - think he's thick as intercourse and full of excrement

Riveting analysis.
Thanks.

Sadly I have to agree, in fact he clearly isn't the sharpest knife in the box if he agrees to come to BP however he has the experience which Jolley sadly lacked, he has had success previously which Jolley also sadly lacked, he has the contacts which Jolley appeared to have but didn't and he can tell RH to intercourse off and they won't understand a word he's saying. I quite like his appearances on Talksport tho

If he is offered the job it proves we are desperate and if he accepts he is even more desperate,

Apart from that good luck to the fella and I reserve judgement until we can see what he can do (hope he hasn't bullshitted and promised too much that's all)

Sadly not happened since the great Sir Matt came back to BP

True.
Apart from Bonetti,put more than that on the gate.

Well all of my great hopes for gtfc have been shattered in the last few years. I'd now like a team I could just be proud to say I support. Maybe that means one that it is not locked in annual battle to stay in league 2 or is generally 66/1 for promotion at the start of every season.
I've been a moderate Fenty supporter in years gone by, but I now know nothing will change until he's got his last 20 pence back an then sells. Remember we're dealing with a man who looks back on 6 years of conference football as a success, that's why we're always going to struggle while he's in charge

Think Joe Waters did as well?
