Regardless of the result today at relegation doomed Rotherham (who have not won in 14, always a good time to play QPR), I think I'm watching Holloway on the very edge.
I watched perhaps half a dozen of Holloway interviews over the last month or so. What I see and hear is an endless rambling about 'passion', 'dying for the club' and 'transforming the culture'.
The England FA rant about 'who are ya, I mean who are you, who are you, who are you, who are you, who are you, who are you, who are you, who are you, who are you, who are you, who are you, who are you, - I mean c'mon on. What on earth was all that about?
Nothing personal against Holloway. He did great last time for us, and remains popular. I just find him far far too desperate, almost incoherent in his enthusiasm.
I reckon we'll lose or perhaps draw today at Rotherham. Then what? His appointment almost smacks of 'we've tried everything else, and that hasn't worked, let's go back to an old friend who knows the club and try him...'.
Just feel increasingly uneasy that this latest experiment may end in tears.

Think Tony's gonna sell up at the end of the season, he's just been balancing the books with 3 smartprice managers in a row and cheap arse players here and there. |
You have to wonder, masochist or just trying to cut his losses.... |  | | |

Personally, I had serious reservations about giving the job to IH but you can't judge him after 4 games. The players are gutless, this is down to them. This team has relegation written all over it. | |

Right now I'd settle for 55 points and 19th or something like that. And yet another rubbish season in which we have not progressed.
Queens Park Stadium. 40,000 capacity. Premier League. Europe.
Dreamland. | | | |

Word is ALL our remaining games will be shown live on SKY.
Well, that's it then. League One here we come.
Can't possibly play when people are watching us. | | | |

If no one else has noticed we were crap under Harry the season we went down, crap under Ramsey, crap under JFH so I am not sure what people want. This group of players have been directionless for nearly 2+ seasons. Changing that is a very big task. |  |

If the four games consist of three defeats and one win where we were hanging on in the last 10 minutes against a team that played the whole game with 10 men then I think we can make a judgement | | | |

Because I'm like many others, utterly fed up with the football circus of recurring broken dreams.
This club just seems to go around and around in a great big endless circle of ineptitude. As one ex-player said to me once, "we're run like a corner shop, and no matter who turns up the culture never changes, and so the club never really progresses."
How far have we really travelled since 1982? | | | |

I can't quite believe I've just spent the last 10 minutes scanning through this thread. Can people just calm down and give the bloke a chance... 4 games , 4 bleed'n games.
Please can we all just give him a chance... The squad lacks leaders. I really believe adding 2 to 3 players in January who will give the manager 100 percent for 90+ minutes could turn this season around. |  | | |

It's too late. We've only got 126 games left to save our season. | | | |

We are playing in the stone age with this appointment.
Survive this season as a Championship club and then start ALL over again for the 101st time in ten years.
What a club. Farce. | | | |

If they are not doing it it is up to the manager to change things. If you really believe the manager cannot make a difference during a game he might as well not be there | | | |

I absolutely agree that the manager can make a difference and as I said , I had reservations about Holloway getting the job. But the reality is, any team in the division with any sort of bottle should be beating Rotherham, and all but one before today has. This team is absolutely gutless. | |

No doubt he'll come across like Martinez after Wigan lost 9-1 at Spurs.
"I learnt alot about the team. Thought we started well and were well in the game for the first ten minutes. Showed a lot of character even when we were 7-0 down. Felt we could get back in the game in the second half (0-5 down), but not to be. We'll be far stronger next week at Old Trafford"
Now Manager of Belgium after being sacked by Everton.
Ridiculous. | | | |

I might understand this sort of reaction if Ollies record as a manager was terrible but it's actually very good... I suppose it was a fluke at QPR, Blackpool, and Palace? [Post edited 10 Dec 2016 18:29]
