Chris Wood scored again as Leeds won again, this time 3-2 at Norwich.

Team of Barry Hayles couldn't get through to the next round.

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.

He's still a decent manager

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

Palace: promoted to EPL
Blackpool (Blackpool!): promoted to EPL
QPR: Promoted to Championship
Plymouth: Promoted to Championship
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.

 

[Mawsley]

Won three from nine with the most abysmal of defensive formations, Megson was utter gash and every right-minded fan would have offered him a lift to his new job.

We were absolutely not "looking solid".

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!

 

[jb5000]

Can anyone tell me what this shoe waving incident I'm supposed to have taken part in was? The problem was that by the time he was appointed the club was simply done for. If Holloway had been appointed instead of Martin Allen, there's no way we'd have been relegated
