He deserves it. It's the same Holloway that came out and complained in the press about Poogate when it was his coach driver! The little Wurzel has never corrected himself since then.

And allegedly made clear homophobic signs to the BHA fans at QPR last season. Surprised more wasn't made of that. Could have stopped him getting a job again that...

TBF,Never been a great fan of his,he is one of the managers that always wants to spend money on players,if he cannot he struggles. But the interview was fair as were the answers,he knows after all the money that was splashed out before he got there has been wasted. Hope QPR improve to bring down the teams chasing us....Super Seagulls.

Hard to feel very sorry for Holloway, albeit he's a very decent bloke. He's been round the block enough times to know it's not personal, it's just panto. When the inevitable happens, he'll get to spend a month or two at home with his family and be managing Norwich by Easter.

Pretty much this. Although he is right in some ways . . .

It ISN'T his fault he used to be manager of Crystal Palarse.
It ISN'T his fault that his team beat us in the play-off semi finals.
He IS a manager who I think tries to show respect.

But surely he realises that rightly or wrongly, hearing opposing fans sing, your getting sacked in the morning, is part and parcel of football now. I'm sure our fans weren't the first, and won't be the last, to sing it to him either.

It was hardly throwing his toys out of the pram , and he's right , he has always been complimentary and respectful about brighton.

And you've always been disagreeable.

I didn't think it was massively respectful when he was patting his bum cheeks and wiggling his arse in the direction of the Albion fans from (the safety of) the TV box at Loftus Road last season, but hey: I guess "respect" only goes one way, right Ian?

He did something similar last season in the studio behind the north stand when he was commentating. I cannot remember who we were playing though.

Of course more respect should be shown but in a world where there isn't any, why should Ian be any different. The race to the bottom finished a long time ago and the trolls won sadly.

There are many things more offensive than "you're getting sacked in the morning". It is banter - he is very thin-skinned

Silly old bat
So, to sum up, Holloway has a very poor memory, having forgotten he lost a game at the Amex previously, on St Patrick's Day, has forgotten he managed a team that beat us in the play offs (although he didn't mean to), thinks lying about his staff messing in the toilets is showing respect, whinges about getting his coat wet, and takes silly football chants to heart.

Clearly a bit niggled by the chant but he wears his heart on his sleeve as clearly gutted after today

I like Holloway, talks a lot of sense. He is totally right about players having too much power in the game

As a pundit, I quite like the bloke, but he cant be serious about this respect crap he has come out with surely? Where was the respect when he made his comments about the off pitch toilet scandal that occurred at the game he is referring to, when he knows damn well who the culprit was.?
