Quoted from gobby
I have never seen opposition supporters waiting to see our manager and then getting autographs and photos from him as he walked to the dugouts. The man just brings charisma and charm.

Yes I saw that and when he was appointed there where lots of fans from bigger clubs coming out saying that they wished their club had appointed him.

He's a sound guy. He'd have made his money from his time in the Premier League (or getting Blackpool and Palace there) but deep down he's a working class bloke who's done good.

I think we've got him at a time where he can reflect on past mistakes. He's spoken about his departure from Plymouth, to Leicester, which he regrets. He has children with disabilities but has worked hard to balance his job(s) with the needs of his family, and I think we can all respect and relate to that.

These 18 months he's had out of the game seem to have reinvigorated his passion. You can tell he's desperate to succeed again, somewhere, and his efforts seem genuine. Buying shares in the club... he's not 'passing through'.

I initially thought that even if we got Holloway as manager, he'd be on his way as soon as he achieved any sort of success with us. But the way he speaks makes me think he'd stick around even if we won the league next season - even if other clubs come into him.

Creating a legacy seems to be at the top of his agenda. Hopefully he gets what he wants from this, and if he does then, well, we'll all be happy too!

I remember tuning in to my sporting life on talksport while dropping kids off one time and he was on. Now I'm usually like Oh God boring and switch off but this guy was truly captivating; the struggle and strife he's been through with his disabled daughters while carving out a successful career.

He's a true warrior hell bent on self improvement and leading the greatest life possible, a real passion for existence and leaving some kind of legacy to make people proud of him and remember him fondly (a mantra he repeating now).

Strangely he has his own insecurities and inner demons that he not done enough, he not good enough yet, but I guess that's just the sign of a true winner - there's always more to strive for.

Ive been on the self improvement train and found parts truly inspiring, what a great motivational speaker I thought - even though that's that what he was really trying to do.

No wonder he eeks higher level performances out of the player's under him and others are desperate to play for him again, like I say infectiously inspirational.

I'd be more than content with a life lived having achieved half, a quarter of what he has and never mind about money but he still thirsty for more more more. The man is destined for greatness, little did I realise he would end up commandeering GTFC for his vision of going down in folklore.

Woo hoo! 🤗 If we have a little blip I think its imperitive we stick by him. To go down in folklore he'll be thinking big, Championship at least, pushing for Premier.

Let's buckle up and enjoy.

I said after Macc scored against us that Town wasn’t worth supporting. I take it all back. They are now. I’m as excited as I’ve I’ve ever been in my 41 years of supporting town. It might go belly up but it’s going to be fun.
