IH back in management again. Be nice to get them in the FA Cup.

It's always noisiest at the shallow end

IH celebrates 1,000 games as a manager with second home win in succession. A fantastic achievement and nice to mark the milestone with a victory. His post-match interview is as entertaining/honest/bonkers as ever.

"In all seriousness", he's got four from the last six points, has seen out 1000 games, is three points clear of relegation and has in fact not been sacked by Christmas.

Probably worth acknowledging as keenly, no?

He's sounding much more like his old self - actually, better said, a more worldly wise upgrade on his old self.

No doubt in my mind he'll get them on a good run -maybe even as ridiculous as that season he got Palace promoted with some insane number of wins on the bounce.

He's got a habit of long streaky runs of both wins and losses hasn't he.

I hope it's the former.

Me too.
He's one of us.

Genuinely a nightmare interview. Booked for 60 mins, stayed for 90, got to ask 6 questions. We signed a player (Osayi-Samuel) halfway through it. A mental, mental hour or so. At one point he was going to throw me out. At another we were both crying.

Very QPR, Ian Holloway. Flawed. Brilliant. Impossible. Fundamentally a good person.

He sometimes drove me mad, but I kind of miss him.

Every manager we have here is going to drive us nuts one way or another.

Spurs sacked Pochettino. He got Spurs, Spurs, to a Champions League final. I remember Spurs being a joke. I remember Devon White crawling over Spurs. Ian Holloway scoring against Spurs. Darren Caskey, lol. Pochettino got that lot to a Champions League final, and they sacked him. They sacked him.

Spurs. I don't know why they're not rioting against Levy every week. Football definition of hubris.

First season, Pochettino got Spurs to their highest league placing since 1990, then after that their highest since 1962 - over 50 years - in coming second, got them to a CL final playing the football that the grumpy fraud Postecoglou keeps advertising is coming soon, signs a new contract, and *six months* later got sacked after a hungover bad run but still top half in *November*. They fired someone who's way out of their league, they'll never get that close again. And they'll never get a better manager at a better career age again either.

Spurs. I'm old but the first season I really got obsessed by football every week, QPR were playing in Europe and Spurs were relegated.

One defeat in five, including three wins, up to 19th and by all accounts didn't get sacked by Christmas.

Doing a quite superb job now, not even a remote chance they go down. Looks like he'll come out of January with 13 points out of 18.

Yeah, another disastrous week for Ian Holloway. If only someone close to him was there to "protect him and keep him away from football": six wins, four draws and just five defeats out of the 15 L2 games he's been in charge of a previously hopeless case.

A good manager, decent man.

He done it all back to front this time, lost his head then settled it all down.

Fingers crossed he keeps them up.

I get frustrated at the occasional negativity towards Ollie from our fanbase, often gets forgotten that he was a thoroughly decent player for us and gave us some fantastic seasons under his management. Should be considered a true QPR legend.

Well done Ollie for steering Swindon for safety when they looked in big trouble.
