Does this not prove that Holloway is a manager capable of getting a side into the Premiership

In which case, having now failed with his 3 year plan, will Milan be asking himself why he didn't the best out of Holloway

He's also a manager who is capable of taking a team into the third tier.

Anyone bored of talking about Holloway?

very much so, especially when there is already another thread in the football forum :icon_roll

Holloway has said that he changed his playing style as a result of his year out of the game. So the Holloway we had may not have been able to get a team into the Premier League.

We finished ahead of Holloway's side in the league. All Blackpool managed to do was hold their nerve and get a bit of luck over a couple of games. Whereas we, who did the double over them and could have easily beaten them in the final, lost only on a penalty shoot-out, which doesn't really have much to do with how good a team or a manager is at all.

It doesn't matter what he does at other clubs, his time here wil lbe looked at as a failure. And so it should be.

I'm sick to death of hearing about Blackpool and Holloway.

All I want to know is, is Joey coming back?

 

[Blue Maniac]

I bet the lad who made all those Holloway masks feels a bit silly now.

The way it's been hyped, you'd be forgiven for thinking Holloway had won the league by miles, not finished 6th at his 6th attempt at the Championship (which is admittedly a considerable improvement on his previous three "kept them up" jobs and two relegations).

It's odd how nobody is talking about Chris Hughton, who won the league at his first attempt, or Roberto Di Matteo, who finished second in his first season managing in the Championship. Or indeed Nige, who took a team from League 1 and finished above Holloway in 5th.

If Holloway is now a "great" manager, Hughton must be Paisley, Shankly, Ferguson and Mourinho rolled into one. What a guy!

I picked up on that, too - possibly one of the few half-interesting quotes of the weekend's Olliefest.

Must say that seeing their RB (Seamus Coleman from Everton - would look good in our blue shirt) on the overlap 20 yards in front of the man with the ball, had me thinking blimey, not seen that since the days of Peter Rodrigues!

Be fair, Hughton had the basis of a Premiership Club and money to spend: Holloway's main striker is a Leicester reject on loan.

Holloway took a poison chalice at Leicester and, given a close season, would probably have built a Blackpool style team - all attack: we may have made the Premiership but, as Blackpool will, we would have plunged straight back. Pearson is the better manager for City, building a team with a fighting chance of holding a Premiership place, but it is a fantastic achievement fro Holloway to get Blackpool promoted.

Well don Ian!

Exactly. Here here...

Holloway has said that he changed his philosophy to play an attacking game while he was out of management for a year after we sacked him.

So what makes you think he would have played that style if he'd stayed here?

The Holloway Blackpool have is not the same manager we had. He's changed as a result of being sacked by Leicester, so it's pointless speculating what he would have done if he'd stayed here.

I think the better question is, will we now be able to get rid of DJ? and will w eeven be able to get a fee for him?

With an incredibly capable squad?

The Mercury reported that we wouldnt ask a large fee for DJ, but just getting rid of him is fee enough surely?

Isnt he one of the biggest earners at the club ? :icon_conf

It would be very unfair and ironic if Blackpool now decided not to sign him.

Some on here still dont think he is a Championship player so I dont see how we can expect Blackpool to sign him to play in the Premiership.

 

[Darth Vodka]

surely they can afford DJ's wages when Bloomfield Road has 50,000 there every week

erm...

Why buy the player when you could probably get him on loan again for the season and only have to pay half his wages.
