Quoted from monkeyboy
Honestly do any of you wonder what it would have been like without the covid situation?
We roundly blame him but we all know the biggest problem at the club was the non chairman.

I’m not saying Holloway was great but I’m pretty sure if covid hadn’t turned up we would still be in the league and not in the position the board put us in. I fully blame the board and honestly don’t feel that sour again Holloway.
The rotten root cause was to blame!

Would he have got better funds come January ? At the point he left it looked unlikely as the deal for the takeover was dead and no hope likely. Not being funny but if you aren’t given the tools to do a job most people quit.


Holloway decided to have one pre season game, proudly boasted he had found three young strikers for the price of two, signed a load of permanent and loan players without ever seeing them play, just on the recommendation of some mates, brought together a huge squad, thought league 2 goalkeepers and centre halves could play like Barcelona, put 15 year olds on the bench at the expense of experienced players, played darts at the training ground breaching Covid regulations, claimed Mohsni had left but the player himself had no idea. Covid may have contributed, but those decisions rest firmly at his feet.

Seem to remember Rod Liddle's scathing opinion of IH in the Guardian & the list of clubs he had left in the lurch.
It would seem he was a one hit wonder at the Oyston's Blackpool?

Quoted from KingstonMariner
But Holloway was a board member. And the manner of his leaving suggested he was heavily involved with Fenty.

Was he actually board member? He said he would put in £100,000 of his own money and therefore get a seat on the board. However, he never did that so I wonder whether he ever took his seat. With his lies and the way he walked out and then had the temerity to say he left us in better shape than we were in when he first arrived, I can still get very angry just even thinking about the horrible man.

Rant over, I feel better now!! #UTMM

There’s a documentary on Amazon about Crystal Palace where he uses that unmistakable ‘charm’ on the players staff and supporters

Remember that scene in the video where he was lecturing the young lads, reminded me of Fagen and the pocket pickers.
