Holloway - "It's not about my future, it's about Leicester

Ollies recent comments to BBC sport would have you believe he is a true Foxy fan.

agree or disagree?

"The papers have been speculating about my future......... but there's bigger things at stake than Ian Holloway. It's not about my future, it's about Leicester."

He is a Bristol Rovers man

Holloway, a Leicester fan? Never.

He's just telling the truth, it's not about him but about whats best for the club. I can see him sucking up to Milan a little over the next few days.

[Bryn]

Depends how cynical you are I guess. He always said the right things at Plymouth as well, and look what happened when he left. It's the right thing to say but only he knows if he really means it. I'm inclined to think it's a bit of both - I think he probably is genuinely upset for us that he ruined our season but at the same time is probably equally concerned that his career is going down the pan and thinks that if he says the right things, it will at least preserve some of his image.

[davieG]

A resounding YES!

Bristol Rovers play in blue

[lavrentis]

Disgagree,

He's saying that to make him seem like a blue, he probably said the same at Plymouth and his future club. He is a Bristol Rovers fan. Are you rubbing it in that we got relegated Dave_The_Owl ?

[Dave_The_Owl]

Certainly not!

You only have to see my posts from the past to understand that!

I was actually looking at the championship team news on teletext and decided to look and see if there were any news of players being released from those 3 teams relegated.

Believe me or not but I actually went past Leicester and I forgot you were one of the three

I then read the contents and thought you and our fellow fans may have some constructive comments on those comments.

I must say I am quite impressed with the poll I managed to construct - never done one before.

Hope to see you back in the championship next season mate. Good luck.

I think its called "saying the right things to make out you care, before you get the sack on Monday!"

Something like that anyway!!

[eaststandtom]

ollie doesn't in fact support bristol rovers but he, of course, will always be associated with them.

i am in two minds part of me doesn't want a manager with the sort of reckless abandon he has shown then another part

doesn't want the club to have another new manager. the fact that he has stayed for almost a week now since the inevitable suggests milan is at least thinking of keeping him

Unless in that time MM has been sourcing THE RIGHT MAN to take this club forward.

Hopefully his appointment this time is better than messers Ollie and Allen!!

[Corky]

I don't think his passion can be called into question, but that doesn't cover up his failings. He's just trying to keep his job with all this talk, he knows deep down that Mandaric will pull the trigger.

And he's a Bristol Rovers man, not Leicester.

[wurmer]

He's Bristol Rovers through and through, so absolutely NOT a True Blue..

His flipping dog is even named after them, and I can't remember a week in his stupid column where he didn't mention them.

[davieG]

Certainly not!

He puts his heart where his head is, so to answer the poll while he's our manager he's a true blue, just like when he was manager of plymouth he was a plymouth fan and so on. You can't expect more than that from any manager.

[Ultra]

He is just a club employee (at least until Monday..).

If he wasn't, he'd feel no emotional attachment to us whatsoever. That's the nature of modern football.

The only club really in his heart are the gasheads, whom he's managed before, and may well have the chance to do so again.

[Thracian]

He's been full of bullshit and inconsistencies ever since he arrived.

I think that's true. He does care about the club now, but before he was here and after he's gone, there would have been/will be no real affection for our club. If there is any, it will be nowhere near as much as long-term Leicester supporters.

That could be said about every manager since MON to be fair. (with the exception of Micky Adams possibly)

It could be said about every manager or player who wasn't a boyhood fan of the club they manage/play for. Holloway will never be a supporter of our club, that's for sure.

[Bert]

He'll never be a supporter of our club no, but what i will say is that whilst he is here, he will always be comitted to us.

Christ I wish MM had told him that a month or two ago, and then added the line:

"Here's your P45, now feck off before you get us relegated..."

[Fox You Forest]

Thats not true is it i could name a few. Mostly from the MON era. All went downhill after there as i said.

[Ultra]

He'll never be a supporter of our club no, but what i will say is that whilst he is here, he will always be committed to us.

So he should be, given the money we pay him.

Although even that couldn't be relied upon with certain recent managers..

[Corky]

Yeah, I suppose people like Walshie, Muzzy, Gerry, Neil Lennon, Emile Heskey to name but a few, but they had great times here so will look back on the club with affection. I can't see Holloway doing the same when he leaves.
