Ian Holloway

Why has nothing been stated publicly by JF or our magnificent PR machine?
This is where he does himself no favours whatsoever.
Even if it's to confirm that talks are taking place would be go a long way to regaining some respect. Get an extra 1000 on the gate with the appointment and am sure many more would possibly tune in on ifollow for the Salford game

If talks are ongoing surely it’s best for jsf to keep quiet until it’s agreed/not agreed

The thing is if it comes down to money appointing Ian Holloway right now with the boost in attendance over the next few games its gonna help towards that.

Sticking to what we have now is only going to hurt us in the long run, i honestly cant believe its even a decision as the bloke in current charge was part of a rather unsuccessful run and hasnt had a win in 9 games.

All delaying time does is cost the club money and disgruntle the fans even more..

We have a proven league manager with a great personality saying he wants the job, it would boost morale and the while gloomy feeling right now how can sticking with limbrick even be a decision ffs.

Ongoing?...he's had 8 weeks to get a replacement in!!...the Holloway thing is only a week old granted, but when someone of that ilk openly says he wants the job JSF and the board should've worked night and day to get it over the line...
But, as most have said, the board want that win so they can employ AL full-time and save a few pennies for some paint for the blokes bogs ..

Why? Even leak a bit of speculation to someone. It gets the buzz for the club going and helps ease the apathy that is setting in doesn't it?

JF and IH would've named their respective terms, and if done correctly, I'd like to think that a time limit has been agreed by both parties.

It's just the hope that breaks you. Look at the size of this thread on potentially the biggest name manager for a generation coming into the club, while we are in the doldrums too.

I’m expecting a statement around 10pm on NYE, John wearing his new cashmere roll neck, drinking a snowball, perched on the edge of his snooker table wishing us a happy New Years, claiming we’re moving in the right direction. Discussing the prospect of employing Holloway but claiming we’re waiting to get all of our ducks in order and when that happens we’ll all be tickled pink...and well, it’ll help us move forward...

Ffs stop dillying about NOW and get this over the line

I sincerely hope that the talk of Board members wanting AL is balderdash.

The last time we appointed a caretaker with a winless record we got relegated. We seem to have a false sense of security because only one team is going down this year.

Our current form is 3 goals in 11 games, no wins and a few draws against crap sides.  At this rate we are not safe from relegation. That six point cushion could disappear in January.

We need a new guy who can come in, sign  a couple of new players in January, change things round tactically to get the best out of the players we have, and actually win a game.

This is the summary of what the board need to read and act on immediately.

We’re assuming that there’s an element of common sense and logic within our boardroom and quite frankly...I don’t believe that.

When they do venture on here or Twitter they merely seek out the negatives and attack them, they don’t look and review the sensible comments and act or respond appropriately. The position themselves above everyone.

It’s as if they know more because they’re on the board which is such a ridiculous attitude but we’ve all seen it...it just reinforces the idea that our Baird holds the fans of the club with contempt.
