Ian Holloway to Palace tomorrow

[Richy_Seagull]

Fantastic appointment for them unfortunately.

 

[pauldcpfc]

Jealous.

Nasty trait really.

Especially with the walking erections that people had on here when you were first.

Our aim is top 6. Minimum.

4th with not even a quarter way through the season when you're aim is actually mid table/safety.

Best player in the division? No.

A decent prospect ? Yes

13,000/14,000 crowds including away fans so really about 12,000.

Deluded Steve Parish.

Same budget as Peterborough more like.

Location- Absolute shithole.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

£400 k compensation agreed, free to talk to us, expected to be announced tomorrow.

That'll be when it all turns to rat shit.
Once he finds out what Parish is prepared to give him as a budget, he'll walk away.

 

[greyseagull]

I don't get what all the fuss is....? He's took a club to the Prem? Whey! Yes, and he also took them back down again. Does that mean you'd welcome the likes of former Hull manager Phil Brown or even Paul Jewell who have both won promotion to the Prem? Probably not, eh?

Strip away his charasmatic interviews, he is in charge of a club below us in the table who probably have higher expectations to be in the top six. Not all that great when you strip away his attention seeking interviews which cover up his inept tactical skills as a manager.

You hope.

Take away your Brighton bias, would you not say he plays a very attack minded formation, and apart from His Leicester stint, as done very well at all his previous clubs.
Given some of the names being mentioned, I'm happy with this potential appointment.

Not jealousy at all. You're doing well but it's too early.

Top 6 is your minimum aim?

Oh my f*** that's made my night.

Blimey, in comparison to the likes of Andy Thorn then yes, you should be rubbing your hands with glee. Although I don't think he was ever a realistic target.

 

[casbom]

Good appointment for them, shame really I was hoping they might go down this year or at least we finish above them! Now it looks like we'll end up mid table at best and they'll make the play offs (if they keep hold of Zaha in Jan)

 

[crabtree seagull]

If it happens then I guess it's better for them than Andy Thorn but apart from taking Blackpool up through the play offs after finishing sixth (mildly impressive) but back down again,what has he achieved?

Charismatic yes but proven winner definitely not

Certainly not bothered at all. Freedman was a better manager by far.

Expect Blackpool to finish higher than CP

 

[wellquickwoody]

My first reaction? No chance, there is no reason why he would want to go there. No money, no ambition in the short term etc etc.

My second reaction? The OP is often correct. Would be a great appointment for Palace and it appears now that there is some substance in it.

I really hope that he ain't offered what he wants, and then he,kicks Parish into touch.

 

[kevtherev]

I reckon it's a good match. A bloke that talks a load of shit, in a ground that's a piece of shit and a chairman that's full of shit....It will all fall apart at the 11th hour anyway. Palace are skint, whatevers been agreed in principal....Has MaCormack signed yet??

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

wins percentage as managers

Poyet 45%

Holloway 37%

not bothered

 

[BensGrandad]

Did I not say this just before we played Blackpool and virtually called a fool for even suggesting it but lets wait and see if it happens. The difference being that I said it would happen by Monday so I am 3 or 4 days out sorry.

 

[kevtherev]

wins percentage as managers

Poyet 45%

Holloway 37%

not bothered

I love these stats....what about the last 18 mths

 

[Se20]

wins percentage as managers

Poyet 45%

Holloway 37%

not bothered

Lots of Poyet's wins were in Div 1

 

[kevtherev]

Exactly, it's a false stat, but one that has been churned out a lot in the last fews weeks. I'm not totally sure what it's suppose to prove other that the Poyet massive are suddenly clutching at straws....Massive game tomorrow night, Warnock will have Leeds flying at our throats from the off, if he has got any sense.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Shame. Good appointment.

yep

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

Don't wins in div 1 count then?

 

[gripper stebson]

Mid table team - gates of around 12,000. Perfect fit.
