Quoted from davmariner
He’s completely mad. One minute he’s ranting that he has no hesitation in getting rid of long-standing players, then says he wants a new goalie, then says he loves Macca and wants a new goalie coach instead. Absolutely crackers.

Sums it up for me.

I'll say it again, push the boat out and get Hurst back in asap to give us a chance of staying up.

Give Hurst the January window, before it's too late.

If this performance were under Slade or Bignot, there'd be near unanimous agreement on this. Does Holloway deserve more leeway simply because of who he is and his past? Of course not, and I'm afraid this is up there with the worst, if not the worst, we've been since returning to the football league.

And while there's lots going on off the pitch at the minute, none of it excuses the performances on it. The squad that's been assembled was subject to the same wage cap as every other club - but the recruitment has been appalling, and the fault lies at the feet of Holloway.

Would replacing him make a difference? Is there anyone who would want the job? Who knows, but there comes a point where you have nothing to lose, and we're quickly plummeting towards that point. Sure we're not even in the relegation places, but our trajectory is clear to see, and we seem to be regressing at an alarming rate.

can't disagree with much of that. Maybe we can promote Holloway to 'headless chicken of Football' and get a new manager in?

I can’t believe that the shambolic nature of our defeats can’t be attributed to the manager now . He looked in a state on the Pre match interview

I think Fenty would have to go first for that to happen.

We are shite and it’s his fault.


As much as i agree unfortunately there is a bigger issue that's rotting our club week on week and until he's gone then getting rid of holloway will only mean the next manager will be scrapping in the budget basement like all the previous managers.

This club is cursed with that man at the top.

Bigger issue is the complete lack of investment and trying to do things on the cheap by the board. For me changing the manager won’t help - directing our anger at the board for the change we need is maybe the better bet.

Still think Holloway will sort this out in January.

Is there anyone who would want the job?

There will be plenty of applicants after all whoever gets the job can hide behind the awful shower of excrement he inherited

He's spent virtually the whole wage cap on dross. That's not doing things "on the cheap".
