The Insane One

They deserve everything they have coming. Looks like he's charmed some naive and gullible chairman with his pitch.
 
His appointment should come with a health warning. He talks a good story but deep down he is a conman of the highest order. Leads you up the garden path with his piecrust promises and when they all go belly up and you sack him he takes you to the cleaners with lots of your money in his pocket. Is there any surprise that he was sacked from Grimsby in December 2020 which helped them drop into the conference and he hasn’t had a managerial job since. He did do some media work for Sky but even they realised that he was a dodgy bloke and moved him on. A nasty man to be given a very wide swerve.

Tell us what you really think of him then Silver....
 
Says a lot that they have only employed him till the end of the season, i think the end of the month would be enough

Couldn’t agree more

Absolute fraud

I was in the executive lounge (1885 club) for one match during his tenure. We had had our lunch and listened to whoever the guest speaker was that day. Then, at about 2 pm, the MC stands up and says, “Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our manager, Mr Ian Hollowhead.
He then commences a 20 minute speech about tactics, team selection and expectations for the days match. He has to have the microphone prised
from his hands as we all need a comfort break before the fast approaching kick off. To this day, I still struggle to believe what I saw.
I’m sure others will confirm I didn’t dream this.
Apparently, he did it regularly.

From memory they’ve had Paulo Di Canio, Dennis Wise, even think Jody morris had a go too

Holloway is a confidence trickster with a well rehearsed sales pitch for the suits that interview him. He caught out Ambler and Mr Berylson with it. He turns up and tells everybody in the room how great they are and cracks a few jokes. Then he proceeds with a powerpoint presentation to people who know little about football but at the same time are mightily impressed but also baffled by his football jargon and sermon on tactics. He has the gift of the gab and he sells the board a dream.

When it goes tits up he plays first man to blink with the board. He won't resign because he won't get his contract paid up so he stands firm until his position is untellable and the board sack him. Kerching and onto the next one. This will be his tenth managerial job and his fifth in ten year.

The man is an utter cunt and i hope his next shit is a brick covered in glass.

He's the Farage of the managerial football world.
A mouthy, fully paid-up, dishonourable member of the Professional Grifters club.

He probably won't last the season and when it looks like he can't get them out of trouble he will be making it easy for Swindon to bin him. That way, he can walk away with bulging pockets and blame the impending relegation on the next manager, believing his joke of a reputation is still intact - Just like he did with Harris.

Yep. A well honed grift/ sting it is too.

I do hope he stays and takes them down. I've disliked them ever since a few not very wise Swindon fans thought it a good idea to have a pop at me and a few wackers ( with our kids) after the play off final. A quick game of skittles( where there coaches were parked) ensued with Millwall winning by KO in the first round :hehe:

If I saw him in public, I’d struggle not to give him a right hander then stamp on his boat.

I tried mate and got dragged away in a headlock. Silly thing to do but i lost the plot after watching that cunt hide in the dugout, silent and passive whilst we got rolled over again and again. I've never hated a football person so much in my entire life. Absolutely gutless, thieving, coward cunt.

. It was my sons first taste of misery too and i ended up going into nut nut mode during the darkest part of his stint. He was fucking robbing us blind and didn't even have the dignity to walk. He just cowered in the dugout game after game and let his players get ripped apart. No professional pride or respect for fellow pro's. I wish him nothing but utter misery.

Paul, we were only talking about this up in there on Saturday. I saw him do it a few times.
We used to say "let's hope none of the away team/officials are in here" the fucking idiot told everyone who was doing what and how we intended to try to beat them.
