I like the idea of someone coming in with that level of experience and profile but if he does I just hope the ghost of Christmas future has managed his expectations.
There is no money, the squad is paper thin and at the moment has no goal scoring threat, 2 of today’s 3 better performances came from loanees. The location isn’t exactly appealing to upwardly mobile professional footballers and the Board...... well we all know that their ambition is to sell the club which says it all.
We have support that tonight was described on National TV as “crackers” and decent portacabins though.
If we get Holloway it will be either a massive success or Titanic failure but after all the sh1t we’ve endured since coming up and before I think we should take the risk on him if he’s willing to take a risk on us. 🙈🤞

Also mentioned a wonderful old club, a lot of passion and its a famous old football club.

They’ll both look as daft as each other if it doesn’t happen now. I remember posting something very similar when Sol Campbell publicly expressed interest in the job last time after Fenty called him out on it. What happened then?

Not many potential managers get a TV slot to make the hard sell! Can't blame him, I suppose.
He's got plenty of managerial experience and a decent record so ought to be a decent appointment, if he comes.

Think Holloway may shine too brightly for a certain board member and put him in the shadows. That never seems to end well, but as stated, if Holloway isn't the next manager now, it'll be a massive own goal and more disillusionment among the supporters.
I’m sure being in the limelight is great and all, but surely if you’d spent the last 15 years of your life being showerered with the anger and discontent of your patrons, you’d welcome some time in the shadows? Unless you were some kind of sociopathic narcissist or something... Oh.

The question for me is who initiated this contact. Are we actively pursuing him, or is he actively touting for the job? It seems talks have taken place, so who is doing the courting here?

I was told weeks ago that the board wanted to appoint AL and JF wanted to bring someone new in, and was willing to pay for this. The board apparently voted against this and have since pressed to appoint AL. All speculation I know but JF is always to blame isn’t he!

Don't get him started on courting again.

That would be very interesting if true.

If the board voted not to appoint a new man weeks ago why interview one last week?
