    Ian Holloway

    That is how to conduct a post match interview when you have just lost to Man U.

    "how he can't see that's a penalty I'll never know". Is that not moaning?

    I like Holloway but he's becoming a bit too fond of the sound of his own voice IMO.

    I like the sound of his voice particularly when he goes off on one. I think it's the accent but let's not go there or someone will ge along to tell me I am racist.

    Holloway is so far up Ferguson/wenger/Ancelloti/Mancini/Redknapps erse its not true. You can also add Dalglish to that now. You wont hear him say a word against them, its as if he's frightened to say anything against the big clubs and turn that support against him.

    Yes he's funny at times, but come on, some of the things he says are just complete bollox. He's done a great job at Blackpool, long may it continue.

    A lot of people don't know that he has 2 or 3 kids who are deaf.He learned sign language to communicate with them but you never hear him go on about this.

    I'm 100% behind him on that situation.

    Managers have the right to play who the hell they want from the 25.

    If it's about too many changes, christ CC will have hibs bankrupt with fines.

    In all seriousness I like Holloway and completely agree with him on this as well as 99% of other things he says.

    I think he was right too in picking whatever side he wanted, although he does talk some bollox at times. And he did say he'd walk away if they were fined, i wonder how he will talk himself out of that?

    I'm pretty sure he qualified his resignation statement a few days later, stating that he'd offer his resignation to the chairman. Just depends if he was to accept the offer.

    I would rather listen to Holloway farting or vomiting than listen to some managers talking.

    He is starting to piss off a lot of people down here. He's never off the telly, and has an opinion on everything.

    i dont get the point you are making and as he was in a tv show about himself and the issues his family life, work life, and the stress the 2 things place on him he is hardly keeping it low profile
    Doing the 2013 Edinburgh half Marathon for McMillan it would be awesome if anyone fancies sponsoring me, http://www.justgiving.com/colin-smith1875 ,go on make a fat man run

    Think 1 of his best quotes was when having a rant at home. 1 of his daughters gave him sign language for stop shouting dad. We cant hear you!

    I think the problem he has is because he's quite a witty guy at times he will be asked his opinion on everything. The same thing happened with Phil Brown when he first came up with Hull. He got the whole 'breath of fresh air' tag and Sky, the BBC, every newspaper, football magazines etc etc all wanted a quote from him. Very quickly he went from being a breath of fresh air to an over opinionated erse in the eyes of the media and fans.

    It's not as if Holloway is just going around voicing his opinion on everything, he is being asked the questions and doing his best to answer them in what he perceives to be a fit manner.

    Remind you of cloughy back in his hayday?

    Holloway has done a hell of a job. Just hope these late goals blackpool are conceding dont come back and haunt them.

    Why would he?

    Maybe he is just showing some respect (a strange word to you I know) to the leagues most experienced and achieved managers - I dont see anything wrong with that.

    Equally I have never heard any of them come out and say anything about him i.e. a mutual respect.

    Would you like him more if in each interview he just insulted and criticised them?

    Its funny how he calls the Villa managers bid for Charlie Adams ludicrous, an insult. and has a pop at Houllier (sp) Yet Liverpool make a similar bid, and nothing.

    Yet he offers £100k for DJ Campbell, and eventually signs him for £1.2m and thats just good negotiation.

    Today he offers £40k for Bradley Wright Phillips, who will leave his present club for much much more. You see any hypocrisy in there albion? And you talk to me about respect.

    I knew that - I read it in an interview with him in 442 I think. Also mentioned it on Soccer AM and Goals on Sunday IIRC. Not sure what it's got to do with this though?

    Isn't he humming and hawing because he's on a cut of the Adam transfer fee so is trying to get as much as he can?

    Did not know that. But obviously you would learn to sign.

    I used to work with a couple who had two deaf kids, both of them were fluent in sign. When you think about it, you learn and learn fast or you will never communicate with your children. A no brainer IMO.
