SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted May 11, 2010 SI Staff Share Posted May 11, 2010 A few months ago, some of you noticed an interview with Ian Holloway that said we were working on a secret project with him. Today we reveal all (as I said at the time, it wasn't an in game thing at all!) Tonight Ian Holloway leads Blackpool into the second leg of the Championship Semi playoff with a one goal lead against Nottingham Forest. With one of the smallest budgets in the division it’s a great example of man management and motivation vs big budget signings. In his own trademark style “Olly” gives you an insight into how he does it with 6 teamtalks to inspire your own teams over www.FootballManager.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Liam Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hollohead is one of the most unfunny and irritating people in football. He was more interested in having a laugh (without actually being funny) than winning matches at Leicester City. The day after a game we lost, he was on TV covering the FA Cup, not working out why he'd failed again. He seems to have somehow done well this season, and got the best out of that mercenary waste of space Dudley Campbell (Why didn't he do that at Leicester?), but at Leicester he was as incompetent as they come. Disappointed SI have given him more coverage to talk nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavin99 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Come on this guy is a joke.

Which is likely tbh.Not that I want to get into a debate with a clearly biased l Leicester City fan about whether Ian Holloway is a joke tbh. Leicester City were a joke that season, but Holloway could have done much better. He made the wrong signings, couldn't motivate, and made repeated tactical errors. To cap it all off he was in the media saying ridiculous things all the time. I wish he'd dedicated as much time into gaining the 1 or 2 points City needed to survive, as he did saying extremely unfunny things to the media, because you do eventually get sick of your manager cracking jokes after every defeat. He had long enough to turn it around, but never looked like doing it. His team produced my worst memory as a football supporter, and despite the issues at the start of the campaign, I blame a lot of that on him. Thank God for Nigel Pearson, a proper manager with integrity, intelligence, and who commands respect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
