A match made in hell.

Not at all - Holloway is an experienced manager with an excellent CV. Players that played for him greatly respected him.

It’s a good appointment for Swindon Town. I can see him improving their results.

I hope the ***** relegates them, personally.

I expect your one of those that gave him a polite round of applause whenever he came to Ashton Gate as a manager.

Hopefully he'll take Swindon down, they deserve each other, his last spell at Grimsby was a complete failure.,........from the local journo

He's done miles more than me in the game, Ian Holloway, but I feel like it was just a bit of a play thing, a toy for him to play with. I just can't believe that people have stood around and watched it happen, watched it unfurl without getting into him, questioning him, and finding out what's going on. He was like that all-powerful person that no-one dare question. Crazy interviews that once were entertaining YouTube viewing, and are now completely not funny. He's come here and turned this season into a disaster. I don't think this is a particularly strong league, I don't think Town needed to do an awful lot, and for a club of our size in this league, we shouldn't be down where we are."[65]

A lot of players do not respect him. Throws a lot under the bus.

He's well past it, was v. poor post Blackpool. 

For context, lower win rate than Gary Johnson, and half as many promotions as him too.

I’m no fan of Swindon Town and am quite happy to see them where they belong in the lower league. Appointing Holloway is a good move for them tho.

If he stays he’ll get them into L1 maybe not this season but next.

As much as I don't want to give him credit getting Blackpool promoted to the premier league on that budget and those owners was seriously impressive, maybe only Luton in recent times can even come close. Surprised he has come back into management after so long out, if he manages a couple of wins the gas fans will start demanding they sack their current manager and bring him back. 😁

Them going to the non league wouldn't be far off Rovers' relegation to the non league.

They have always thought they were bigger than us 

Ah…we all remember when they won the league against us in November. Remind me how that season finished.

I honestly did not think I could detest Ian Hollow*nker any more than I already did. Then he crops up at Swindle. 🤣

Take ‘em down to the Conference, you odious Gas Skellington…

EDIT: Just wanted a Skeleton for their Halloween Party.

Done nothing of note in 10 years, as many relegations as promotions, left Grimsby a mess and been unemployed for 3 and half years.

Don't really see anything to suggest Holloway right now is a good appointment, basket case manager for a basket case club.

He is an odious little creep who's way past his sell by date. He's been desperate to get back into management at any professional level for some time. What on earth can a 61(?) year old on a managerial downward spiral for some time offer them apart from being cheap? Now, I'm someone who dislikes them more than the laughable sags but even the most ardent swindle fan must realise how far they've sunk into the depths of despair appointing this outdated halfwit. Cue many more of his media attention seeking colloquial wierdo phrases, all to hide his coaching shortcomings.

I remember the infamous Dec 96 Derby - obviously what happened at the end was regrettable - but never in my almost 50 years have I heard a player get so much abuse from the Ashton Gate faithful as Hollowhead did that afternoon

That’s because never before in the history of football has there ever been a bigger ***!

Hollowfanny was a complete no-mark before he came out with that post-match “we got her in the taxi” quote. He’s made a career out of it despite being basically talentless.

Irony is if he’d have said that a few years later, he would have been ostracized instead of revered. Don’t get me wrong, I loathe cancel culture but for that berk I’m prepared to be a hypocrite and make an exception!

Well didn't he say in 1990 that a good City fan is a dead one? He deserved it.

Then over the years he's put on a smiley smiley happy face when asked about us over the years, pretending he isn't hurt we have been miles ahead of the Gas for years and saying he wants both Bristol teams to do well - utter nonsense

Some people just cannot stay retired can they ?

He wasn’t retired, no one wanted him. Turned down for the Motherwell job since he left Grimsby.

He made a comment about struggling because his scouting team weren’t set up for league 2 and that he wouldn’t manage below Championship level.

He told the Grimsby fans he was going to put 250k of his own money into the club and have them in the premiership in five years; 

He did, and later it emerged he never put a penny in saying he disagreed with the board ( he was on the board by the way!) - a bullshitter as well as a clown.... he's an embarrassment to Bristol!

I was about 9 when I first met him. His mate had a sports shop in flaxpit Lane in Winterbourne. I saved all my pocket money to buy the away city shirt, it was the white one with the badge in the middle. He gave me hells abuse for being a shithead. 

I would love to walk into him now as I'm 50 and he's 61. What a tool.

Why are they so weird like this? I was once wearing a City shirt a few years ago in a local supermarket to be met with dogs abuse by a Gashead infront of his own son. 

They're so ******* weird

Same thing happened to me on Banjo Island. 
I was about 12 I think. My mum parked up outside the shop and I went in to buy some crisps. Had my city shirt on. 
As I got back in the car my mum said “who’s that bloke there”. 
She was pointing at Hollowhead, who’d just popped a letter in the letterbox. She said he mouthed the words “effing sheet head” behind my back as I’d walked past him. 
He was captain of rovers. I was 12. And he mouthed profanities behind my back. 
What a loser. 
 

My mum still despises him to this day!

Your Mum has good taste.

Know someone who played for a junior side & he coached them.

Gave any City supporting kid in the team loads of grief, he’s a total ***.

Amazing how he comes out with nicer stuff about us & Steve Lansdown only when he’s unemployed, eh?

Yes, he did. He is a loathsome creature. It was just an observation, sorry if it sounded like I was upset he got abuse - I was giving it to him as much as anyone that day.

Apparently he used to get loads of crank calls, pizza deliveries and taxis to his door. Brought it all on himself.

Bloke is a 5hit house. Considering how rabid he has been about City over the years it will be extremely funny seeing him in a red top and watching him melt. I wonder how long that will last.

A red top managing a club nicknamed 'The Robins' only to get them relegated to the conference. What a poetic last hoorah at management that could be for him

Had the same at a festival this year, wore a city shirt and had several different rovers fans make comments. I’ve never thought to abuse someone over a shirt, tbh I’d be more inclined if I saw someone in a rovers shirt to say fair play. Likely to be a more genuine fan.

How unlucky to go to a festival & the majority of their fanbase were in attendance.

Weird bunch.

Was a bit bizarre how many there seemed to be, I saw a few city shirts too. A few retro classics were about that day!

Yeah, i've seen plenty of Gas and Swindon shirts (two clubs I dislike) and seriously couldn't give a damn about them wearing their colours.

It is only the sags who shout and abuse.
