Sampson City Reds Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Simple question if Ian Holloway was offered the managers job and that offer was accepted would you welcome him?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'm sure he could do a decent job, but so could lots of other people. Unnecessary conflict. A no from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody thinks he would have the best intention of the club to heart you are very much mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boadle Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yawn. Great manager, cracking personality and full of inspiration. Would work his heart out for the club, regardless of what pantomine antics went on nearly quarter of a century ago. Absolutely Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Too many fans would be against it. But if he was appointed, I'd get behind him - afterall, he would be leaving a good job to come here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Cant bring myself to vote BUT.... What a kick in the balls that'd be to Gasheads if their hero came to us!! .... specially after their own ongoing managerial problems in recent years ..knowing they couldnt afford to attract I H back (even if there was suddenly a World shortage of tarmac & clothes pegs!) Gasheads would be putting their Gasheads into gas oven all over town.. Ahh bollocks why not?... not least for the above reasons plus the fact he's a bloody good manager - all (well, almost all) is forgiven so ....... I'm voting yes!!! - Ian Holloway ... Come On Down !!

westonred Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 'No Way' it would drive a hugh wedge through the centre of the club the 'For's and the Against's He could propably do a resonable job for us but so could a lot of people without G*s connections and they wouldn't upset upset 1000's of City fans in the process. Just remember how unpleasant it was when Pulis and Parsons were here, they were never accepted because of their days in blue well you could multiply by 1000 if Hollowhead came here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barry_mack Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I couldn't care less how well he did, city would be dead to me. At any rate, he's not even that good - just look at his attempts with Leicester and Plymouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember how unpleasant it was when Pulis and Parsons were here, they were never accepted because of their days in blue well you could multiply by 1000 if Hollowhead came here To be fair, they were never accepted because the first signing they made was Peter Beadle who, whilst did well for us, was an indication of how they were looking to have us playing. The dirge served up by those two was shockingly bad. They'd have been accepted if they weren't playing a shite style of football (this is sounding all too familiar!)

If anybody thinks he would have the best intention of the club to heart you are very much mistaken. That was over 20 years ago!! Let it go man... I'm sure he's changed and mellowed since then.

'Orns Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 If you could guarantee me promotion to Prem and survive there, along with the Gash going into the Blue Square of death I could live with it If he took us down we'd never hear the end of it, ever - I couldn't live with that I remember him and his mullet from the 80's and early 90's and the thought of it still makes me sick. I hated that R*vers team more than any other in history, and he was at the heart of it. Do I hate the Gash as much now, probably not, I've mellowed as I get closer to the big 40. Does H*lloway still have the same strong anti City feelings, probably not - he's mellowed too. Could I ever sing 'Ian H*lloways red and white army', don't think I could. Could I ever applaud him onto the pitch, or off after a win - I'm not even sure I could do that. I would just be too suspicious of him, as I guess a lot of others would be too. This isn't Blackpool, Plymouth, QPR, Leicester who he grew up with no particular feelings about (that I'm aware of), this is Bristol City - the team he grew up hating, for me that says a lot I laughed when he got appointed at Blackpool and predicted he'd take them down, he's done a brilliant job there, but he help to relegate the Gash (kudos for that) and played a big part in Leicester going down. Let's not pretend that he has a fantastic record at this level, beacuse he hasn't. I actually think the bloke would love the role, no source, just a feeling - but that would be more about his ego For me it has to be a 'no'. Every club needs a villan, it just so happens that Ian H*lloway is ours And if he did get appointed I'd have to go scrub some real nasty crap of the bathroom wall in the Rotunda Club (?) in Kingswood that I scribbled on there a few years ago about him........

'Orns Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Though John Ward WAS accepted by city fans.... Pretty sure that Ward had a spell at Burnley as assistant manager (someone will know for sure), and during this time he joined in with a 'if you all hate Bristol R*vers clap your hands' chant as he walked off the pitch - I think that helped!

BrizzleRed Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 If we're going down the clown route, we may as well go the whole hog and check out Colin's availability at QPR. Both are very similar in style ie, they create a siege mentality by conning the players and fans into thinking the world is against them so when things are going wrong, it's everyone else's fault except theirs. It works for a while, but then gets very boring and predictable. If hollowhead came here, he'd divide the club right from the start and if things started going badly, things would get far worse, as I doubt many City fans would cut him that much slack. Once a sag, always a sag as far as I'm concerned, so a definite no from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I'd take colin over hollowhead any day, though I'd prefer neither of them at this club. Call Warnock a character or whatever, but I'm sure he just fires up whatever side his team are up against, so makes his job far more difficult in the process. Think he won us the Play-off semis against Palace, because he certainly got our players and fans fired up. Is he still 60 by the way?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Matt Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Absolutely not. Can't believe it's even being asked. I refer to previous posts by both me and Harry. Plus he's had more failures than promotions if you look at the facts, not to mention that capitulation of the g*s from clear up top to not even making the play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Any new manager of Bristol City would have my backing until he proved himself not to be worthy of it, even Pulis did to start with! Having this **** in charge though would really be pushing my loyalty to the limit!! He is nothing like the John Ward situation, having gone out of his way to make himself the enemy of EVERY Bristol City fan during his playing days with the gas. I had a speck of respect for him when he spoke out against the rovers scum that chanted during Des Williams minutes silence at AG all those years ago, but other than that he has done everything he can to incite any ill feeling that comes is way from the Red side of Bristol.
