Im a big fan of Holloway, would like him even more if I felt he was 100% committed to the club.

Quoted from Ipswin


I'm giving him a chance, on the pitch. No one has siad he should be sacked. I'm simply as another poster states not jumping on the Holloway bandwagon screaming with delight because he's very different, always (or trying to be) in the limelight off the pitch, giving endless interviews on radio and in the press.

I just want him to get results and change the 'best run club' he's ever been involved with from a music hall joke lower fourth division outfit into the team we, and Holloway, dream of it being. If he can't do that, and yes its very early days, then all the other publicity, bluster and hero worship is irrelevant and wasted


It's neither irrelevant nor wasted. Sure, the most important factor is what happens on the pitch. But we've got a manager whose reputation has propelled us into the national press regularly. We haven't had that since... well I don't ever remember it. Grimsby Town being mentioned in the media regularly, with a well known manager that is keeping our name in people's minds can only be a good thing when trying to attract players, sponsorship and new fans.

not sure how many points you get for being in the press every week.   Swin is right, its results that matter, nothing else.

One mention on Sky, three in the national press, a monthly column in the Bristol papers and on a dozen websites and over a thousand in the GET and we get automatic promotion?

That's not what I said, as you very well know. Take your rod somewhere else, I've had a nibble and it's all you're getting

He put £100,000 of his own money in, I think that shows commitment in my opinion.

It's shares, so someone would have to buy them off him?
