Only mentions us fleetingly - says Grimsby fans hate him but he loved his time with us.

Reading the comments below the line he’s still held in very high regard by the general public albeit not fans from Millwall, Plymouth and Town…

Hate is a strong word, sadly not strong enough…

He can say what he wants. A disingenuous charlatan, here on false pretences. That we recovered quickly takes nothing away from the disregard he showed this club during his tenure.

A nasty little shít stain on our club’s history; may he never speak of us again.

Quoted from Civvy at last

So why not 1 team talk outside ?

It took me 30 seconds after reading that to think of this.
Surely someone at the Club could have thought of it ??

Because its harder to throw the darts through a window...games would take ages

I'll give him credit for one thing.

Watching us in that last season of his, he made me believe that I could have played for GTFC. That's how bad we were.

Quoted Text

It’s an itinerant profession, often just a passing passion, often enraging fans left behind. “When I left Plymouth after I’d told them how much I love them they f***ing hated me. I left Grimsby, they f***ing hate me and it’s pretty nasty. But the fact is I loved being there at that time.”

Quoted from Maringer

Admits he got it wrong with recruitment during the pandemic and signed 5 strikers without seeing them play.

Not exactly a mea culpa, but at least he's honest that he messed up.

He has been 'honest' now (allegedly), but if he had admitted it at the time and explained his reasoning and not strung everyone along, rather than his callous disregard to everyone who could plainly see through his inability to rebuild a successful team, maybe fans would only want to run him over with a steamroller...


...........rather than ripping his head off, shitting down his neck until he chokes.............and then running him over with a steamroller.

See, here’s the thing, hate is indeed a strong word, and a word I don’t use lightly.  But I do hate Ian Holloway.

I hate him in a way I don’t hate Nicky Law, Russell Slade or Marcus Bignot. All incompetent buffoons in their own special way, but you can’t hate someone for not being capable of doing their job at that moment in time; most of us have bitten off more than we can chew at one time or another.

What I hate about the bloke is that he was happy to use the club as a plaything for his own financial gain, simply couldn’t be bothered as soon as as that financial prospect had disappeared, and left as soon as a viable excuse arrived.

He was complicit in a scheme that could have destroyed this club, and almost did even though it didn’t come off. Imagine a world where Jason Stockwood and Andrew Pettit weren’t waiting in the wings. We’re Scunny, effectively, we’re in the NLN at best and we’ll never return. He didn’t give a fúck about this club, or its fans, whatever he says.

We’re very fortunate. Today we have a full house ahead of a League Two fixture against Bradford, funnily enough the side we faced in front of an empty BP in Holloway’s final game. To the absolute credit of our new owners, things are more positive than I can remember at any point following Town - even in 1998.

But all of that is in spite of Ian Holloway. As I said last night, a nasty little shít stain on our club’s history. A man of many words, most of them treacherously dishonest.

A traitor and a charlatan, never welcome in our town again.
