Ian Holloway

Quoted from gaz57

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

Because Limbrick has had rubbish results and so having to reconsider I guess

I don’t know, they may have been holding out for a win and in the mean time continued to allow interviews for the job? Who really knows what goes on in their heads?

Holloway gone back favourite again 8/11

Quoted from Marinerz93

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

The Board have a problem then - Holloway has gone public, if they stick with AL when it goes pear-shaped it will be the Board that will take the flak from the fans...
- but not really. Because we've been here so many times now many are just so fed up with years of failed direction of GTFC that we are getting to the point of just shoulder shrugging; sadly, I think the passion is waning. I think someone else mentioned on here that they are just going through the motions of supporting. That's how I feel at the moment and it seems like the case with many others - our home attendances and away followings are now down below Conference level.

As it happens my big hope rests with Cummings, not Bobby, but Dominic. I can't stand the Tories but I do think there will be cash chucked around for a while [url]https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/conservatives-diverting-public-money-north-midlands-reward-voters-1350648[/url]. Appoint Holloway, get new investors in and there will be money for enabling and infrastructure works for a stadium - the time is now. But member this up again and we'll be heading for local derbies with Boston...

This situation really is a massive predicament for Fenty!! Now it’s gone Public AND IH has said he would come, JF has two choices available?

Choice 1:
Appoint IH immediately and watch the attendance rise from 3,600 yesterday to between 5-6k on NY Day (I’m sure that would add up to about £10-15,000 extra each week on gate receipts).

Choice 2:
Don’t appoint IH after all this speculation and IH publicly saying he wants the job and watch gates plummet even further!!!

This is an absolute no brainer JF. The chances are that the rest of the board don’t want to fork any cash out because they are all tight as 🦆 asses and only have their premium bonds to secure their position on the Board!

Please make the right choice for everyone at this Club!! If it doesn’t work out; The fans and Club made this decision together!!

Followings IH comments on Quest the board would look very stupid and unmotivated if they don’t bring him in. The club is in a similar free fall to 2009/2010 and I don’t think we would bounce back from non league, this is a final roll of the dice for Fenty and co to put things in place to try and improve our club for the next season or 2.

AL has got us playing better but we ultimately haven’t won in god knows how long and scored two goals in 8 games. He’ll be an asset within the back room team but he cannot he the main man any longer.

Come on Fenty/The board... get Holloway announced and bring some excitement back to the club from the fans and hopefully the players.

I some how cannot see it happining.. we would need the 250 grand back that we are told fenty took back.. A decent manager will want 100-150k a year , And we will need better players , we have seen what you get for 3/4 grand a week . We would need players that can command 4/5 grand a week to move forward and i cannot see that happining, We are at a crossroads as a club and we have to make a choice what way to go. Its going to be interesting to see what happens. Everyone is clammering for Fenty to splash out, me included, but would we do it if it was our cash ????

Dont think Holloway would demand huge money, he knows the going rate for league 2 and i very much doubt hes skint.
Probably the club finding him a home would be a starter and then promise of some wage funds for players.

As it is i can see a few players going, Sadly i think Ohman will be gone. Happily Whitehouse.

Not sure if the loanees will stay but they havent been taring up trees either, Gibson was decent yesterday and Robson is decent but a bit pedestrian.

Personally think we need a left back, winger and 2 central mids.

I have been someone who has urged for patience, but seeing that it took west ham and spurs one day to appoint new managers I am coming round to the need for a new manager at GTFC.
Eight games with no wins by AL does not justify keeping him. Sorry.

The delay in appointing a new manager is unjustifiable.

But to compare with West Ham and Spuds is unfair.

They knew in advance they where sacking their manager. JF did not.
