Hayles > DJ in my book.

I have always believed BH was underrated by some supporters. His workrate at times was excellent.
i dont really blame him.
he ended up being hated due to a prick of a manager playing him on the frigging wing, because people couldn't see the real villain was IH due to his stand up routine which became a circus
I always liked Hayles and I still think he has something to offer here.
Ian Holloway is a good man who was never given a real chance.
The real villain was Martin Allen who brought in fourteen players not one of which is good enough to be in the present team. His behaviour at the training ground deserves words like "prick" and "villain" . Ian Holloway is a good man who was never given a real chance. Apart from the emergency buys of the transfer window Holloway never had the chance to build his team in a close season. He tried emergency surgery under difficult conditions and failed. This does not make Holloway a prick or a villain; it makes him an unsuccessful manager.
Luckily so far NP seems to have the double whammy of being a good man and a successful manager.
