They obviously had too few Barry Hayleses.

Completely buggers up his chances of President-elect ****face von Clownstick giving him a ring to offer him the job as Secretary of State.

I agree. I can't believe he's only 53 either.

He probably did some good stuff for Bristol Rovers too.
That he couldn't achieve a great escape given a few months at what was at the time a comedy club is no reflection on his ability

There was no great escape to be achieved. We were not in a relegation battle when he took over. We were looking solid under Megson. It was Holloway who brought us in to that mess and then built up a narrative that he was snookered from the start and couldn't possibly have done any better. That's complete bollocks.

Holloway was relegated with Leicester, QPR & Blackpool and sacked by Millwall & Palace with the clubs in the relegation places is that a reflection of his ability?

I bet you were one of those who waved their trainers in the air.
I can only assume you forgot that he put a 37 year old Barry Hayles on the wing for several games, and decided to give an 18 year old kid a debut in one of the biggest games in our history whilst playing him out of position?
He was by no way fully responsible for us getting relegated that season, but my god he was a big part.

That was Pearson's fault, whose Southampton team won that last day instead of losing, and relegating us!
