Guest red and breakfast Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 If you mean, 'would you like to see Ian Holloway given an opportunity to manage this club to safety and eventually to the Premier League?' then yes please.
TRL Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Strangeways? Pentonville? Bodmin is easy to travel from
Nibor Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 We employ him I'd get a season ticket refund and call it the start of saving for a good middle distance rifle.
Guest Robiness Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Perhaps we need someone with character and shows a bit of passion !!!!
Guest MC Risk Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Holloway ??? i would have him here in a heartbeat even tho it wont happen.........i reckon his blackpool players thought they could run through brick walls before every game in the prem last year, unbelievable achievment that they were 25 mins away from staying up last year
bearded_red Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I wondered who would be first to mention that c***. So well done. Anyone who wants that odious little Gas cretin anywhere near our great Football Club should take a very long hard look at themselves.

Anyone who wants that odious little Gas cretin anywhere near our great Football Club should take a very long hard look at themselves. Agreed. Still makes me sick how he got a standing ovation from the corners of the Atyeo and Williams that time. That rat was lapping the attention bowing and waving to the now soft AG crowd.
cider hoss rules Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 We have just seen the departure of a 12 year club man, who in most peoples opinion was City through and through. In the end it didn't work out and quite rightly changes had to be made, but the amount of grief and abuse our fans gave KM was very often over the top and un-necessarily personal. If a long term City man gets this treatment, what is Holloway going to get if it doesn't go well, given his previous allegiances and comments about our club. His passion is not in question, I just can't see the logic in even pursuing this, nor could I see Ian Holloway wanting to put himself in that position. CHR

That rat was lapping the attention bowing and waving to the now soft AG crowd. Sad fact of how bad our support has got. That odious little man deserves nothing from this club. "The only good shithead is a dead shithead" comes to mind. Trouble Making arsewipe. I'd rather have pulis

Guest poland_red Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 thank god for posters like TRL, I was beginning to think this was a gas forum frequented by ppl who only started going to football in the last few years. I've posted it on another thread, and I'll post it again. It pains me to watch this, but sometimes you need to remind yourself what a total menace that little scrote holloway is. Shame on all city who want that gap mouthed simpleton as as our gaffer - maybe you'd like a ground share with rovers an all. it's a desperate time to be city, and one made even more desperate by some of our 'fans'.
TRL Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Wash your mouth out for your final sentence! , sorry I don't know what I was thinking Goes to show my love for holloway though

TRL Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Alex mcleish done it ,Ian can do it !!! Do it? He can do one. It's a disgrace even mentioning his name in connection with our club.

Thanks, saves me the bother to go looking and posting it. Words fail me they really do when City ''fans'' prasie this buffoon and then have the cheek to suggest he stands in OUR dugout managing OUR club? Madness.
WellRedPhil Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Do it? He can do one. It's a disgrace even mentioning his name in connection with our club. Agreed. How could you be happy for Ian Holloway to manage Bristol City if you genuinely love this Club? Madness.
i hate you butler Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Do it? He can do one. It's a disgrace even mentioning his name in connection with our club. rather have allison holloway than that to33pot in charge

Words fail me they really do when City ''fans'' prasie this buffoon and then have the cheek to suggest he stands in OUR dugout managing OUR club? Madness. as my number of posts suggest, i'm new to this board - but I'm not new to city. the fact that some of our so-called fans are even raising his name is beyond comprehension. or have these people only jumped onto city during the wembley season. That's my only explanation, as surely any city with a working, sound mind would rather set fire to their eyes than give that piece of string the gloating satisfaction of sending our club even further down the tubes. what next will they be suggesting, a kit change to red and white quarters?? hell, lets get devon white as assistant manager while we're at it.
Guest red and breakfast Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I am City since 1984. I am happy to accept all small minded comments for what I am about to post: I would love someone with Holloway's passion, his 'us against the world' mentality (which he shares with Colin) to stand atop an open top bus and share the news that he has brought PL football to Ashton Vale! Holloway is passionate - not against BCFC, but for his current club. It happened to be BRFC at the time but he was just as passionate (and wound up his rivals) at his subsequent clubs, particularly as a manager.

And I think if appointed we could lose a mass of our fan base. Of course the board wouldn't be that stupid, would they?!
Guest red and breakfast Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 OH DEAR! open top bus,see earlier post. I had, which formed the basis of my post. When have you never boasted about a victory over the gas - even in the last 21 years...
Guest iWilco Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 The video poland_red posted above shows why Holloway can never take the city post.......... any city fan who thinks Holloway would be a good manager for us and work hard for us is completely deluded
Brizzle Jordan Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Would be pleased with Holloway as it would annoy plenty of gasheads aswell as bring us a charismatic manager which is what Keith Millen certainly wasn't.

Guest poland_red Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 and I think apart from the open bus and the fact he is diehard gas, you've got to ask questions about his actual management ability. average at QPR, Plymouth betrayed and left in the lurch, Leicester pretty disastrous. Hats off to what he did at Blackpool, but one swallow does not a summer make. Just because he's good for a barmy, half-witted quote and waves his arms around people are assuming he'd take us to the prem - I actually prefer someone to display tactical nous, acumen in the transfer market, you know, crazy things like that. Judging by his other managerial stints the prem is not exactly a foregone conclusion even if we did get into bed with the devil. and aside from that, yeah, just keep watching that bus video.
Harry Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I am City since 1984.

It happened to be BRFC at the time but he was just as passionate (and wound up his rivals) at his subsequent clubs, particularly as a manager. I don't know how many times I've had to tell this story on this forum, and how long it will take some people to understand how much of a **** he is, but I'll say again : When I was 11 years old I lived in Longwell Green. Holloway's mum lived 3 doors up from me. Holloway was captain of Rovers at the time (i.e. in what should be a respectable position and "face" of the club. My mother drove me down to Banjo Island (Park Estate for those of you without the local knowledge!). I jumped out of the car and walked into a shop to buy a packet of crisps - I was wearing my City shirt. As I came back out of the shop and got back in the car, my mum asked me a simple question. "What's a S.**thead?" she asked. Of course, I was shocked that my mother would ask such a question, and she knew nothing about football, and City. She went on to say that the bloke over there just called me a s.**head behind my back. I looked over and it was Holloway. He'd walked behind me to the post-office and mouthed the words effing s.**head behind my back. I remind you...I was 11 years old. Quite how anyone would want such a horrible little man as our manager I'll never know, and for me it's personal. The quote highlighted above is 100% wrong. This is a man who does have a hatred towards our club, and I for one will never ever set foot anywhere near the Gate if he was ever appointed. I'd like to ask those people who are calling for him to answer me one thing. If he'd verbally abused your child for supporting City, would you want him as your manager? I'd guess not. As a fellow City fan, and part of our very own big City family, I'd politely ask you to consider me to be one of your sons/brothers and respect my wishes to give this little git a very wide berth. Oh...and please please please do not applaud him again when he comes to the Gate. I've never felt so ashamed!!
Rob k Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Agreed. Still makes me sick how he got a standing ovation from the corners of the Atyeo and Williams that time. That rat was lapping the attention bowing and waving to the now soft AG crowd. Spot on mate, makes me want to vomit seeing that gas **** talked about like he's some sort of legend.
cityloyal473 Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 If that Wa****R ever becomes City Manager, i would never ever set foot inside Ashton Gate again. He's Sag through and through and i hope he falls sick in the night and chokes on his own vomit.
Andy Horsman Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 I'm with Nibor. The day that City appointed Holloway would be the day when, after 38 years, that I would walk away. Forever!!!
BCFC Jordan Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Hate how some City fans seem to have forgotten what he was like for Rovers.

Oh...and please please please do not applaud him again when he comes to the Gate. I've never felt so ashamed!! I can only echo the above comments. Holloway hates City with a passion, always has done, always will do. I too had a similar run in when I was 16, and he was manager of the g*s. Those blue few were training at The Beeches, and a few friends and I were having a kick about on the 5 a side courts. 2 of us City fans started singing some City songs - none offensive, anti-g*s or anti-Holloway songs, merely 'we will follow the City' and the like, and he turned round and shouted 'good luck to you lads, although they could do with you this season', referring to our awful 98-99 season we were enduring. Our response was to merely remind him of the previous few results between our clubs, again not in an offensive way just responding to his comments with no bad language involved, and he went crazy, shouting at us, effing this, effing that, it's about this effing season not the past, that sort of thing. Then he went on to have the gall to say to my mate that he had an attitude problem! This coming from a supposedly professional football manager towards a few kids! One of the lads with us is a Man City fan and he was shocked that a manager would behave like this. A couple of days later I was playing pool inside the Pro 5 building on my lunch break from college with some other friends that are not football fans, when the g*s squad finished training and came in for their lunch. He spotted me in the corner and said to himself, loud enough for me to hear though, 'better dead than red, that's what I say'. Now, I expect a bit of banter but he wasn't doing this in a friendly way, it was vicious, spiteful hatred for our club. And as I said, like in Harry's case, towards kids as well. I have no respect for him whatsoever, and I too was disgusted with the reception he got down here when he was manager of Leicester. A vile person who should get what he deserves from us - absolutely nothing.
