Mack Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 This bloke is on another planet. He also threatened to throw coffee over some of the jouro's apparently. This bloke really is a complete tonk.
Finnegan Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 he entertains me. Far more than Warnock does and he's arguably a bettert gaffer too. I know he isn't to everyone's tastes but he's completely harmless.
Jay Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 Villa scored an 89min winner if Villa had got a draw would anyone be having this debate, doubt it
Finnegan Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 Who a manager picks is his own fooking business. End of. It's a long, hard season and not everyone has billionaire owners.
Dickie Greenleaf Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 he entertains me. Far more than Warnock does and he's arguably a bettert gaffer too. I know he isn't to everyone's tastes but he's completely harmless. Holloway is just a media whore who's determined to try and play this cheeky chappy/ lovable underdog role all the time
Dickie Greenleaf Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 Warnock's funny in a kind of belligerent, grumpy old-man kind of way. Plus he didnt try and create a persona of being a wacky jester and then get all put out when people expect him to play up to it.
Thracian Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 I've always got time for a manager who defends his players in public. And he has a point about injuries in the sort of situation Blackpool are in and about it being his right to pick who he likes. Whether he'll stay calm enough to pull off a footballing near miracle is another matter. It always strikes me as important to be cold in a crisis and do just what quick, calculated analysis demands. It doesn't guarantee who'll come through but it's probably better than blind, emotive reaction. But he's a character for all that and the game is probably better off with him than without because there are so many funcionary drones in what is, after all, an entertainment business.
Finnegan Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 Ollie didn't create anything, he's just Ollie. Sometimes funny, sometimes sesious. Warnock isn't clever, witty or sardonic; he's just grumpy, obtuse and miserable. He wins badly, loses badly and screams when he can't get his way. Ollie by contrast is humble, friendly, modest and mostly rational (unless you get him started on the Bosman ruling.)
purpleronnie Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 If he was our manager you lot would love him, sour grapes. He's a top manager and has proved it. Plus I'd rather listen to him that the bores who manage most clubs.
Guest BlueBrett Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 He's ok i suppose. I can tolerate him. All the bum love he gets from Lineker and co on the tele does my head in though.
Asha Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 If he was our manager you lot would love him, sour grapes. He's a top manager and has proved it. Plus I'd rather listen to him that the bores who manage most clubs. Eh? He was, and er, we essentially didn't.
Finnegan Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 Eh? He was, and er, we essentially didn't. Might I suggest that was something to do with the shit results?
Guest BlueBrett Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 If he was our manager you lot would love him, sour grapes.He's a top manager and has proved it. Plus I'd rather listen to him that the bores who manage most clubs Wouldn't swap Sven for Holloway in a millenium of Sundays
StanSP Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 Bit of a travesty if he gets fined for picking a squad who he believed could stand up to the Premier League and get a result at Villa Park. He's the manager of Blackpool. So he gets to pick whatever squad he wants. The Premier League aren't the manager of the club. Holloway is. I see no reason why he should be fined or punished for fielding a team of 11 who actually nearly did the job.
Manwell Pablo Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 I find it disgusting that certain managers get pulled up for this, mainly those battling against relegation, while others seems to get away with it week in week out and have done for years.
Maybes Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 I find it disgusting that certain managers get pulled up for this, mainly those battling against relegation, while others seems to get away with it week in week out and have done for years. This. As Holloway said he is the gaffer and should be able to pick who he wants.
Brainy Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 Cringe. He may well be right but I think him being a PL manager has messed with his head a little.
Joe. Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 I find it disgusting that certain managers get pulled up for this, mainly those battling against relegation, while others seems to get away with it week in week out and have done for years. Bang on. Holloway's media persona grates on me as much as the next Leicester fan, but this is just downright ridiculous. If you're going to condemn a manager for picking eleven capable players from his 25-man squad (a ruling which the Premier League themselves brought in) then this game really has gone mad.
Corky Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 I can see why he did it but I'll never understand making wholesale changes when you're doing well, as Blackpool are. Still, football is a squad game and it's important to give everyone game time, and it's his risk at the end of the day.
Finnegan Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 Point is, Corky, he's the pro and it's his judgement to make.
Jay Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 The Premier League INSIST on a total of 25 players to be named in a a squad. As far as I'm concerned that means they have accepted that any of those players can play as and when required, in any way shape or form end of story as far as I'm concerned. on a regular basis Ferguson makes 5or 6 changes to his team especially on European weeks so what is acceptable and what isn't?
Tommeh Posted 11 November 2010 Posted 11 November 2010 Well said Ian, as usual. Anyone who thinks differently should take their "ohh e got us relegated" specs.
