Ian Holloway

Flavour of the month. A nice fella but a demented proposal. George Burley's Ipswich side played good attacking football too.

Perfect description.

I love that attacking footy he has his team playing. What a great breath of fresh air to see...would he have the balls and nerve to run liverpool? Would you give him a chance to try it with a club with money? Do you think a manager who has cut his teeth in the lower leagues has it to succeed in teh Premiership? Discuss?

No.

[The Erectile Banana]

No.

Succinct and to the point.

[Vermilion]

After this season if Blackpool don't do a Hull and continue to play attacking football and win games then maybe. Thats at the earliest too. He hasn't proved anything unless you are also ready to consider Phil Brown as a viable option.

Longer even....lots longer.

This is funny really.... Hodgson is so bad he has us considering a mnager like this, nothing against him..but this IS liverpool we're talking about.

Was going to say Burley myself, one great season then went out the next summer bought Finidi George and others - got relegated!

As you said flavour of the month.

No chance.

Enough said. Good luck to him but he will never be LFC manager.

[-V-]

Considering they have a small squad and have hardly spent any money at all, its fair to assume that Blackpool will struggle later in the season. But I think that would happen with any manager in that situation.

Flavour of the month - perfect description

Holloway used to be like everyother manager in the lower leagues. Lump it up to a big man and hope for the best.

He has changed his style alot over the last 18 months. He however will never bring sucess in the Premiership. He will be like Curbishly or Mclaren. Mid Table at best

I'd take mid-table at the minute

[rudedog]

No way - He doesn't have anywhere near the experience we should be looking for in a manager right now.


Phil Brown enjoyed a very similar start when he first took Hull to the Premiership and look how that ended.

[The Birdman]

Point No.1 is the Ollie isn't actually very funny (I've known him since I was 16) so the serious persona we now see is more of his true personality.

Secondly he can play attacking football at Blackpool because they were bookies favourite for the drop last season and no-one expects anything of them this season so he is managing without any pressure whatsoever.

He's a decent championship manager at best
