This guy has made me laugh over time.

 

Last night he was getting interviewed by TalkSport and the chat of Charlie Adams came up (who sounds a cunt). He said "A bid of £3.5m, are you pulling my plonker" :lol:

 

Now, that aside, I am starting to get bored of the shite he is banging out. "Ive got the easiest job in football" "These Premiership faries asking for more money*"

 

*Errr Charlie Adams got a double wage 12 months ago according to you, and now he is wanting it doubled again?? COCK!

I quite like him. Doesn't buy into the hype and has got people like DJ Campbell outplaying people like Fernando Torres

 

My gran could outplay Torres at the moment and shes 6ft under! However, I get what you're saying. I just think some of the stuff thats starting to come out is bollocks.

I like him as well but I think he's starting to play up to his character a bit rather than just being himself, if that makes sense.

 

Aye, thats what I was meaning really. Being a bit daft, talking stupidly etc

Is he? Or is he just getting more coverage by the media than he was at Plymouth Argyle? I would rather have had him here than Pardew tbf.

Well, it's either one or the other. Or a bit of both :lol:

Just reading up on him, he's got 3 deaf kids. When he was manager at QPR he used to commute 250miles everyday to work so that his kids could go to the best deaf school down South. He also had to nurse his wife through cancer.

 

Deserves a bit of a purple patch imo. Sounds like a nice bloke.

He is in a lucky position to do that, not many people are who have similar circumstances. He is a sound bloke and he does make me chuckle, I like the no bull approach, but I think some of his recent mutterings are getting the same and shit

Don't get me wrong, I like him. He's a character and he seems to get the job done too. I think his wife is deaf btw and it's a heriditary thing as I've read about it somewhere.

Anyway, he's done some great things this season but the real test will come next year. Even if they stay up this year and go down next season he'll have done a fantastic job though I suppose.

Aye it does but he is piping down very slightly, I think he's been content being a decent lower league manager, but now he's up in the Premiership, he's had a look around and thinks fucking hell I can do this. He was interviewed a while ago, and the interviewer suggested he was a bit of a character, and he didn't like the line of questioning, he said "I'm not a joker, or a character, I'm a serious football manager trying to keep my club in this league", reminded me of when Redknapp lost it when Rob Palmer called him a wheeler dealer (its on youtube) "I aint no faakin wheeler dealer, I'm a faakin footbaww manager, no faak off". I think Holloway realises he needs to move away from being seen as the joker if he wants a bigger club. It's strange how amazing he's done at Blackpool, he had far more resources at Leicester and took them in to division 3.

I think he'd be a bit like Barry Fry at Birmingham here. I remember the day he got the job Fry and he walked out of his car 50 yards to the entrance dancing and singing Simply the Best by Tina Turner.

Every cloud...

 

Nah I'm joking, top man and I'm glad he's doing well this season, he comes across as a top bloke. If I had to go for a pint with two PL managers it'd be Hughton and Holloway.

Whats people's thoughts on Blackpool and them having to pospone matches due to a frozen pitch?

 

I think the PL should be make them install one if they stay up this season.

 

I said this to my mate. £50m quid windfall and they dont have undersoil heating. Yet my mate said thats bollocks, why should they be forced to have it just to be in the EPL. Its not like its a H&S issue.

If they have the money to do it then its a no-brainer. Ive got no idea how much it costs, like. :)

 

Its just letting the fans down that travel there and the game gets abandoned 60 mins before KO.

This was debated on Radio 5 (when the bad weather was causing them to cancel so many fixtures) and the crack on there was that it costs about £500k.
