Barton and Holloway, it has me in giggles!
Holloway’s the worlds biggest Gashead, I know many who are retired who would work for free for the Gas, this bloke wouldn’t have. And then Barton making Tyson Fury statements (all winnings going to charity), Barton was on a wage at the club and so was his extensive management team.
I used to like Ollie a lot, he very similar to Barton though, more famous for their mouths and talk than success as a player or manager. Granted Ollie isn’t a wife beater and his wife doesn’t have to press number 9 button three times.
I said I’d take Holloway back when Barton left, I envisaged a mess and wanted us to get to 50 points ASAP and felt he could do the job. His latest comments though, he wasn’t the best man for the job at Grimsby or Palace when he had a break down. Sacked from Millwall with 5 defeats from 6 and leaving them second bottom in March 2014, QPR and Grimsby was next, both poor jobs. Him saying he’s still got it is laughable, keep to podcasts, TalkSPORT pal, like your mate Barton both surviving talking about the past.
People laugh about my friendship with Lee Johnson, I admire his Dad more than Holloway, not particularly liked at Torquay right now but managing them in the Play Offs in National League South. Holloway and Barton call themselves men of football, both willing to give nothing back, why doesn’t Ollie go and manage someone like Gloucester City of he loves the game so much 🤷🏼♂️

As has been mentioned many times ,every time Rovers have a managerial vacancy Ollie's name crops up. In this latest article i think Ollie is right in saying JB 'got' the club and was determined to put us on the map, he was also right in that he needed the help of an experienced head to achieve his aims.Unfortunatly it became clear that JB did not have the tactical skills to achieve his aims and with all due respect to them both i could not see the two working together in harmony, i don't think JB is the type to welcome advice and i am pretty sure that Ollie is never going to be a 'background' figure , wears his heart on his sleeve to much to play that role. Much as i Love the man i don't want Ollie to come back in any role other than an ambassador type ,why risk his legend status ? let it be Ollie.

The managerial Jamie Cureton but at least Curo has now stopped with the silliness. |

Colonel Gibson - Ex Army
Eddie Jennings - Ex Scout
Ian Holloway (if Wael never sold or Kuwaiti’s agreed)
Joey Barton
Tom Gorringe
Imagine this lot together, you couldn’t make it up and if Dave Bright had survived (ex Golf shop manager, sacked by new owners) we’d have had one the best ever leadership teams in sport 😂👍
No wonder Wael was doing so many direct debits to keep the club going. One person missing on this and he’s a Gashead as well, Chris Sanigar, I’m sure boxing would have helped us somehow.

Yes he has some ups and downs but deserves respect imho. |

He walked out on Palace in October for mental health reasons and 3 months later was at Millwall their rivals! What he did at Grimsby as well, made all those signings and instead of fighting on with them, he jumped ship. Loads of managers have had a promotion, Phil Brown took Hull up like Ollie did at Blackpool and he’s a legend as well at Southend. You can’t deny it, Holloway is famous like Barton for his mouth and accent, the media loved him at Blackpool and he loved playing up to it. Paul Jewell took up Bradford, there are loads like Holloway but he’s famous more for who he is more than what he’s done. But he’s the biggest Gashead in the world, my club crap, prove it and work for free Ian, loads of our fans would do this. Millwall, QPR and Grimsby were after this syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/1823597-ian-holloway-possibly-the-most-overrated-manager-in-history.amp.html |

He always seemed to show Rovers a good amount of respect in all open honesty' and was it not Johnson that linked us to Vitalis Astevez back in the late 90's, a truly fantastic player |

Anyone ever seen Holloway at a rovers game when has hasn’t been paid to be there? and was a manager who never ever loaned us a player. In most cases loaned to a rival |

Any other Gas legends we want to give a kicking today? The season of goodwill didn’t last long this year. 🤣!!!

I don’t think he is getting a ‘ kicking’ eric, a few home truths, he is forever going on about how much of a ‘Gashead ‘ he is - but the reality dosnt quite marry - the time when he sat with Colin Murray and said in no uncertain terms when asked he would be rooting for QPR against us, Colin Murray looked 😮 shocked - wasn’t expecting that !!!! 💙Utg |

Holloway is still trying to stay relevant.
Hes got no punditary work, hes not linked with any management roles bar us (probably through association rather than a genuine chance) and hes doing loads of interviews with nobody bits of podcasting and local rags.
He marked his own card with us over the years and there is probably only ever 1 time in the last 20 years where appointing him would have ever been a good idea and that is when we sacked Trolls and it was utter carnage. Hes probably the only person that would have sorted Cams and co out. But he was employed then anyway.
The only upside to it was he is mates with Penny and he might have been tipped off with some good signings.

Blimey so we’ve turned on Ollie now have we?
One of our most successful players, football played under him as manager very good until Spring 2000 when it went wrong. I wouldn’t want him back but some of the posts on here well…….
Loyal and true eh?
UTG!

He’s like a washed up boxer who’s been retired 10 yrs convinced he can make a comeback and kick some ass against the younger whippersnappers. |

Very interesting comments re Taylor. He either has beef with him or genuinely thinks he isn't the right man for us. Just a rather nasty thing to say about MT...saying he would not have him as manager in a million years and then wish him luck. There was no need for that and he's not, I suspect, going to be too welcome at the club with his comments about MT and the new owners. It's sad as we all love Holloway but at the same time know he's not really ever going to be a future part of the club. |
