Guest Sampson City Reds Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Simple question if Ian Holloway was offered the managers job and that offer was accepted would you welcome him??
SJC Posted October 12, 2011 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.
Guest lou-peters-dive Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I personally think ....................... why are we asking this question?
kmpowell Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 For those of you who were too young, or have forgotten, may I remind you of this: He's gas through and through, always has been always will be. If anybody thinks he would have the best intention of the club to heart you are very much mistaken.
boadle Posted October 12, 2011 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.
Riaz Posted October 12, 2011 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!
WhistleHappy Posted October 12, 2011 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 !!
BrizleCiderArmy Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Hes a twit to put it politely. And so is any city fan that would want him near the club.
Guest sportingmad0209 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 For those of you who were too young, or have forgotten, may I remind you of this: He's gas through and through, always has been always will be. If anybody thinks he would have the best intention of the club to heart you are very much mistaken. Glad to see our defending has improved (NOT)!
westonred Posted October 12, 2011 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
CiderSomerset Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Absolutely not. If he was given the job I would not watch City again until he walked away from the club.
Oizys Posted October 12, 2011 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 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!)
Guest Mr Wendall Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Hell yes, good manager. Rovers are such a non-entity now that the rivalry hardly matters.
'Orns Posted October 12, 2011 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 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!
Riaz Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 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! Plus he was'nt born a blue. and supported them all his life.
'Orns Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Plus he was'nt born a blue. and supported them all his life. That most certainly helps!
BrizzleRed Posted October 12, 2011 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.

BrizzleRed Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I would love Warnock to be our manager. Born winner. 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??
Guest Macca Matt Posted October 12, 2011 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
WhistleHappy Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 dont know what I was thinking earlier ... sugar was a bit low perhaps .... so I'm withdrawing my vote forthwith.. NO!!
Radstock Red Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I cant believe City fans....50/50 for this horrible sag scum w**ker! What the **** is going on!
Bar BS3 Posted October 12, 2011 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.
BCFC Jordan Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I cant believe City fans....50/50 for this horrible sag scum w**ker! What the **** is going on! +1
Guest lou-peters-dive Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Simple question if Ian Holloway was offered the managers job and that offer was accepted would you welcome him?? I will go along with whoever Sexton and the rest of the board decide. ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' But not Holloway.
Guest Macca Matt Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I will go along with whoever Sexton and the rest of the board decide. ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' But not Holloway. +1 All this about people not going if so-and so is appointed manager is ridiculous, but if ever this <insert whatever expletive you like here> is ever employed by our club I will not be attending games despite being a season ticket holder
Bar BS3 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I cant believe City fans....50/50 for this horrible sag scum w**ker! What the **** is going on! ....and people on here still argue that this forum gives a genuine reflection of the feelings of the majority of Bristol City fans?!?! I agree with your sentiments towards the ****. Definite NO vote from me, given the choice.
T R Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 It would be my worst nightmare, he would have to get on his knees and apologies before i would have him at city. He's just a gas clown. he looks like one, he is one, he is a f'in clown!
Admin Ian M Posted October 12, 2011 Admin Posted October 12, 2011 There would be simmering tension during good form & death threats when we lose a few. Why put our club in that position in the first place when other capable candidates are available?
City1984 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 never would i support that gas head bastard.stay the **** away from our club. i cannot believe there are really city fans that would welcome him here. shocking
WhistleHappy Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 There would be simmering tension during good form & death threats when we lose a few. Why put our club in that position in the first place when other capable candidates are available? On reflection.. I'm sure you are correct - it just wouldnt work, a marriage made in hell for all concerned. ps: ...cant believe there are still Bristol City fans out there called Ian - most changed their name by deedpoll years ago !!
Frome Valley Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Given that he was once chased down the pitch by hundreds of City fans this is about as realistic as 50% of fans being in favour.
'Orns Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I don't think I could set foot in the stadium if he was in charge. You can say that it's small minded, pathetic and childish but having a rivalry with the teams in your locality is what football is/should be about. Hollowhead is and always will be "Bristol Rovers" He epitomises all I dislike about them and supporting him would completely kill the fundamentals of football for me. If it wasn't about rivalries and competition with people down the road for bragging rights then I might as well watch the superior football from the Prem on the TV. NO TO SKELETOR. Bang on Sausage, as I should've put in my earlier reply - if R*vers and H*lloway weren't around, we'd have to invent them. Everyone needs a local rival, something to 'hate'
myol'man Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Can just imagine the scenes if Hollowhead lost 9 out of his first 10 in charge
Harry Posted October 12, 2011 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 Indeed Macca Matt. Can we please please stop this nonsense. This comes up every few weeks and it is beginning to annoy the **** out of me. I refer you all to my post of 3rd October (and countless other times - I've reverted to copy and paste now!!), and hope the message will eventually get through (i.e. he's gas scum and a horrible little **** with it)............. "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!! "
Us_and_Them Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 WTF!!!!! People voting for that horrible little ***T must have a short memory or not old enough to remember the things that he said about us. I wont forget nor forgive no matter how long ago it was, and the day he is manager of our club is the day i walk away!!!!
redlandrebel Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 He wouldnt be on my wish list but rather him than Cotterill or Robins. Exactly. Nuff said.
NOTR Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 As the song says,he looks like a horses arse,he smells like a horses arse he is a horses arse.
GrahamC Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 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!) Interesting definition of "did well" he scored 14 goals in three and a half seasons. He was rubbish, like nearly all of Pulis's signings.
havanatopia Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 That was over 20 years ago!! Let it go man... I'm sure he's changed and mellowed since then. He wouldnt be on my wish list but rather him than cotterill of robins. I think thats about where i am. I think we can also do a bit better as well but the conflict issue is not important
South Bristol Red Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO HE IS GAS GAS ARE SCUM NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
Sir Colby-Tit Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 The ONLY plus point would be that we could still belt our our glorious "Cheer Up Holloway...." chant when playing badly. I can't believe the split on the poll (not Pole, that's a whole other story), If it wasn't for the fact that Sagheads cant use 'puters, I'd think we'd been infiltrated by the buggers.
gazza1982 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I said on another thread that if he ever took charge then I along with many others would never go to Ashton Gate as long as he was there. The fact we are even discussing this is shocking enough!
kevinmabbuttshair Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Good job this place only represents a tiny tiny minority of City supporters. Ian fcuking Holloway as City manager! My old man would be spinning in his grave. And besides anything else he ain't all that.
RedRock Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I think there's history on both sides with the 'Tale of Hollowhead'. Didn't some of our finest cause his family grief which overstepped the mark by a wide margin, particularly mindful of his daughters situation? If those incidents were prior to him upping the anti to us ... his behavior/attitude to us back then at least is understandable and, in my view, more than forgivable. Got to say I admire his passion and approach... but don't think it would be a wise appointment and uncertain on the football side whether he's the strongest candidate anyhow from those that have been mentioned.
Sir Colby-Tit Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Good job this place only represents a tiny tiny minority of City supporters. Does it though? I would've thought it was a pretty good indicator. Opinion polls work in the same way. I'm not sure what's more depressing - the fact that half on here would have him, or the fact they can't see the shitstorm it would create.
RedRock Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 .. and it might be worth playing that video to our current bunch of passionless wasters and journeymen. THIS IS WHAT A DERBY RESULT MEANS TO US BRISTOLIANS AND SODDING REMEMBER IT WHEN YOU PULL ON OUR RED SHIRT NEXT TIME YOU PLAY CARDIFF et al.
Rob k Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Never thought I would see the day half our support (using this poll) would want that utter **** anywhere near our club, Sickening.
BS3_RED Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Hes a twit to put it politely. And so is any city fan that would want him near the club. ^ This
kevinmabbuttshair Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Does it though? I would've thought it was a pretty good indicator. Opinion polls work in the same way. I'm not sure what's more depressing - the fact that half on here would have him, or the fact they can't see the shitstorm it would create. Course it is. How many post regularly out of all the forum members? The majority of those posters are very busy jumping on whatever band wagon happens to be passing by at the time. Not representative of the wider fan base
WellRedPhil Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I cant believe City fans....50/50 for this horrible sag scum w**ker! What the **** is going on! When i saw how close the poll was I genuinely felt ashamed. What the f ** k is going on?! You can say that it's small minded, pathetic and childish but having a rivalry with the teams in your locality is what football is/should be about. Hollowhead is and always will be "Bristol Rovers" He epitomises all I dislike about them and supporting him would completely kill the fundamentals of football for me. Very well said. My thoughts exactly.
Guest KP8 Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Glad to see there is still plenty of us who don't want that Gas scum anywhere near our club i was starting to get a bit concerned about people actually wanting him here!!!!
The Casual Connoisseur Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 He's only a poor little gashead his face is all........
SimonL Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Worked ok with mcleish at villa. Look at all this protests now nothing. I just want the best man fir the job, whoever that is.
Pederho ll Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 He optimises everything we hate about the Gas and his feelings towards us is mutual. How any fan of BCFC could want him as manager of our club is beyond all comprehension. The only good thing that would come of the ridiculous notion is the ability we would have to sing "he's only a poor little gashead......." at every game we play. Now that would be funny!
Red Robin Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Right let's get things in perspective.Ian holloway as a football manager would be fantastic for us. I new Ian from my days living as a teenager in longwell green,Ian would come up from banjo and play footy,what a player then he was on rovers books.yes Ian did play for the gas,however he would manage BCFC and yes I believe he would do us proud. Oh by the way he would manage us,so don't be put off by the few that say he would not. Has he applied wait and see,but if Hughes can cross the machester divide,and tevez then he could cross the Bristol divide.

Well, that's an amazing statement, because when l spoke to him albeit three years ago, he told me too my face that there was no way he would ever manage City.
Red Robin Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Well, that's an amazing statement, because when l spoke to him albeit three years ago, he told me too my face that there was no way he would ever manage City. Do you know Ian or was this in passing?
WhistleHappy Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 It's the only thing that makes watching a smaller club like City worthwhile. We aren't going to play fantastic football that's worth £30 a game and we're not going to be challenging for titles or trophies unless something drastic happens to the club... What we do have is the fierce rivalries and one-upmanship that comes with being the bigger and better club in Bristol (and the south West as a whole) Those are the victories and glories that make us come back for more and put up with the punishment of being a "lower league" football fan. If its rivalry that turns you on in football terms nowadays JT - sorry but you would've LOVED the Seventies - easily 90% more, pure rivalry, passion & banter back then mate. Anyone under 45 really hasnt lived when it comes to the fun of real rivalry - its a bygone era, it was a golden era for football in this country (not talking about the ott violence that often went with it).. Its a very much watered down & sanitised atmosphere that we live in now. Football was cheap as chips virtually everyone went & the only millionaires in sight were a few fatcat chairmen. Whether at school, work, down the pub or in many cases around the family dinner table Saturday nights/Sundays & Monday mornings (yep ,we even looked forward to Mondays thanks to football rivalry back then!) football first, then, beer, fags ,music & birds was what kept us going... It was a joy, almost a religion for many ordinary working class kids & men - it amazes me sometimes how football has changed (mostly not for the better) & yet it still manages to attract & hook so many youngsters today... I wish I was twenty/thirty years younger but on the other hand I wouldnt have wanted to miss out on what we had (& all shared) back then. (Holloways OTT nonsense in the above video clip was influenced by the times he grew up in as much as anything -thats why you wouldnt see that type of thing going on today, cos non of 'em playing nowadays lived through anything like it.. sponsrship?..endorsements?, image rights? extraordinary money for ordinary players -unheard of back then, with the possible exception of Georgie Best (& even his lifestyle was modest -apart from the parties, booze & birds.- by comparison)... ) Enjoy it for what it is JT - but most of it is manufactured hype today, rather than the real thing of the past.
TRL Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I can't believe the split is nearly 50/50 I can honestly say if that parasite ever became city manager I would not go and watch city until he left. Utter scumbag in his younger day, dumbass media whore as he gets older. If he was appointed it would split the club and support so badly I would hate to think how long it would take to repair.
Bris Red Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 FFS another thread on this? Im shocked/disturbed/horrified that 103 of our ''fans'' would actually want him. What the fo0k is wrong with some people? He isn't even a decent manager either IMO. People forget all the other shite jobs he did at other clubs and just focus on what he did at Blackpool (which in my book was just a fluky couple of season's). Bottom line is he is a Gas legend who hates the club and has publicly ridiculed BCFC and our fans (see the video for the fools that dont know what im talking about). I can tell you now i would boycott City for as long as he is in charge if he became manager. Think im alone on that? Think again,thousand would think/do the same.
Pederho ll Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Do you know Ian or was this in passing? It was at Jury's Hotel, when he did some after dinner speaking alongside GJ. I asked him this specific question towards the end of the evening. I personally think he is a really nice bloke and a top manager. It's a real shame there is so much history, because ( and rightly so l believe) some City fans will not be willing to forgive and forget old rivalries. Perhaps l am beIng a bit childish about some name calling, but l fear for many it runs deeper than that.
Bris Red Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 Worked ok with mcleish at villa. Look at all this protests now nothing. I just want the best man fir the job, whoever that is. Mcleish is Scottish and has no tie's to either Birmingham Club. Holloway is staunch gas, born and raised in gas land and is a hero in there fans eyes. Please dont compare it to Mcleish, it is TOTALLY different.
kmpowell Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I new Ian from my days living as a teenager in longwell green Me too (although I'm from Oldland originally) - I played for Longwell Green in the Hanham Minor, u12's, 13's and then the u15's. Hollowhead was freinds with our manager and he used to help coach us on a thurs night round the back of LG community centre under the floodlights. It was just after his Daughters were born and I remember him turning up in a VW Beetle whilst his wife/gf looked after his daughters in the Car Park during the summer or took them home on dark nights. He was a gas-head then and used to make us kids who liked City (we were in a minority 'casue it was a Gas side of Bristol thanks to them playing at Trumpton) do extra laps of the tennis courts. The inter-rivalry growing up in the early 90's is something is miss desperately, and I for one will not step foot in Ashton Gate if that horrible **** is appointed. He is 100% gas and blue who earned his trade playing and supporting them, this isn't about a premadonna striker on £250k a week moving from United to City, this is grass roots inter-rivalry that lasts decades.
