I find this a confusing statement as he is currently managing a team with far inferior resources at a much higher position than us.

Passion, 'being funny' and talking cobblers is irrelevant
I just want someone with a footballing brain who plays them in the right position and in the right formation, and who can actually win a fair few games

I think he will be the first manager in God knows how long who will try to not play players out of position.

He can be a big fish in a small pond at Plymouth. I feel he will be lost at a Club where the expectation is far greater than anything he has encountered before.
Just imagine all the top class names looking to play for IH, let alone the current shower. :icon_roll
All we are currently witnessing is the current slow decline of LCFC. This appointment will do little to arrest that decline in any way. :icon_cry:

I think you might be doing Holloway a diservice if you dont think he can fulfill those simple criteria.

I wish people would stop sighting this, look at the facts:
Kelly - fired (after being given a long enough chance considering had been in the position for over half a season
Rudkin etc - held the fought, not fired
Worthington - was employed to see the season out and that was that. Not fired.
Allen - fired
Megson - left us
So he has fired 2 managers over 7/8 months hardly every other month, and whilst I agree it is less than ideal he never hired Kelly and gave him what he considered to be (and which I think we all agreed was) enough time to prove himself. If you believe the rumours about Allen then he was also right to fire him, but even ignoring all rumours and assuming he just fired him on results that is still only one of his own signings fired.

I'll give him a chance...
If his first 3 interviews with the press aren't funny then I will be on his back :icon_wink

He has proven it, at this level, recently, with inferior resources.

I agree, irrespective of the resources even his team are higher than us and were last season as well.

Thanks for clearing it up.

Merely proved he can stay in this League. Just the sort of skills we need to get out of this League. :icon_roll

Cutting the crap that surrounds Holloway, the key thing to know is that he is a very good man manager. Gets into players heads and gets the best out of them.
It went sour at QPR as he lost some of the players but apart from that, he's got a strong record. Also, he's never been sacked and is in his 12th year as a boss (if you discount the gardening leave QPR thing). Must have done something right.
