Holloway

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

If the big clubs have to stump up to save us they'll want us to sign our souls over first.

Absolutely nailed it.

If anything will open the door to the B Teams in the EFL it's this.  We'll save you, but...


Genuinely appalling that the Premier League aren't fall over themselves backwards to help save the foundations upon which their mega rich league is supported by.  No doubt about it in my mind, remove the building blocks and the Premier League crumbles away too.  

Quoted from Boris Johnson

did he? thats great, if he left i assume he would take it back?

He can not take it back and no one would buy them off him.

If that is not commitment I don't know what is.

Can anybody name any manager putting 100,000 pounds in a club never mind a L2 side.

But if he was to leave I’m sure he would have to get rid of those shares as  he couldn’t get another job at a different club, conflict of interest.

I’d be spitting feathers if I was IH reading some of the things being said here regarding his commitment. Ffs can’t you just keep your mouths shut and wait to see what happens rather than making up hypothetical situations? He can hardly prove himself at the minute when there is no football can he so to be saying his media exposure means nothing, it’s results that matter is quite simply pathetic. Just be positive for god sake or please give it a rest!! UTMM!!

Errmm...it was Holloway who said he would have to reconsider his position if there was a change of ownership........not us.

Fact.


Facts.....are what the fishy is built on  

In the 60 years I have been trotting to BP Ian Holloway is the highest profile manager we have appointed. I hope he will also prove to be the best.

His appointment and involvement in all aspects of the club was a miracle and I still have to pinch myself it really happened.

When the football restarts he will continue to have enormous goodwill to call on and of course he will know every club has fans that are very negative , so a few on here wont worry him unduly.

This is our one chance of turning a corner and putting the club back to where it belongs. We should be able to attract players we could only dream about pre Holloway so I desperately hope it all comes together, as the alternatives are just more of the same.

Like everyone else Holloway is not perfect or superman but when you think of the future prospects when Jolley left, to appoint IH with a future to look forward to was, I repeat, a miracle. Please GTFC and everybody involved don't member it up.

Some of the Prem clubs in the past have fallen by the wayside and joined the plebs.  (Sunderland, Coventry, Portsmouth and Bradford City etc).  They should remember and be careful what they wish for.  But they won’t.  Greed is all-consuming and corrupting.

You left out Blackpool from your list.

Can't remember who their manager was.

He was the guy that got them promoted to the Premier League.

Aside from them not having to bail us out, let’s face it, if we, by some miraculous event found ourselves up there we wouldn’t be cascading any cash down to Scunny or Oldham...the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth etc sail very close to the wind financially (suggesting they’ve never actually learned anything) so when we talk about Prem clubs bailing teams out what we mean is a handful near the top.

There’s naturally a huge gap between finance at our level and their level but this thing of premiership teams bailing people out is odd. Whether we agree with the figures, they essentially need them to operate the same as we need all our cash to operate. Now if the EFL were serious about their product, perhaps they could reach agreements with certain clubs to loan cash etc, much like the FA but don’t hold your breath.

But as Die Hard said, you allow prem teams to bail teams out, it happens and suddenly you slowly open the door to B teams and franchises...if people are happy with that that’s fine...
