On the road....
I'm not much of a footy fan, but working today I listened to Blackpools match and was expecially taken with the humilty of Ian Holloway.

A fair few premiership managers should take a leaf from his refreshing book.

Discuss!
 
Ian Holloway is great, hes like Mourinho in that he is something completely different, a breath of fresh air from the normal , boring trash managers spout after every game. Love some of the random stuff he comes out with as well :D
 
He didn't even celebrate the goals that I saw on MOTD... Everyone was going crazy and he just stood there with a face like a slapped ass sipping his bottle of Evian.

In the interview he made it sound like they lost the game as well... properly depressive. Oh and wasn't there talk of him wanting to leave Blackpool as soon as he got them promoted? Just sounds like an Please star our such a word. Thanks. to me.

I don't know about the wanting to leave bit..

But I think he's right in not over celebrating - in the open eye, at least.

He needs to keep his and his players feet firmly on the ground if they want to stay up. I'm sure some of his craziness will come out eventually.

Fair point. I think he could've cracked a smile but I guess you're right, they don't want to get too distracted from their preparations even though this was an epic win today. I guess that I may have seen him in a negative light because of the story I read concerning him wanting out, something like he deserved more money than he was getting at Blackpool, I can't find the article I'll have to have a look for it.
 
He's a gashead (ex Bristol R*vers player and manager) so I hate him, but part of me loves him as well because he's bloody hilarious.

Some of the things he comes out with are just fantastic (like his pieces on chicken runs etc on soccer am) and a breath of fresh air. Like when they interviewed him after the play offs and he said "I'm not an idiot like some people say I am, I'm a premier league manager!"

Can't wait to see more of him on motd, and I'm also enjoying having another fellow Bristolian on the telly ;)
 
He's hilarious and full of chat but he royally screwed Plymouth when he left so his antics leave a bit of a sour taste when he talks about how much he loves a place then ups sticks halfway through the season taking most of the better players in the club with him.
 
From a comedy point of view he's hilarious, couldn't have wished to lose to a nicer manager and team in the playoffs!

"If I fell in a barrel of boobs, I'd come out sucking my thumb .."

"To put it in gentleman's terms if you've been out for a night and you're looking for a young lady and you pull one, some weeks they're good looking and some weeks they're not the best. Our performance today would have been not the best looking bird but at least we got her in the taxi. She wasn't the best looking lady we ended up taking home but she was very pleasant and very nice, so thanks very much, let's have a coffee"

If you're a burglar, it's no good poncing about outside somebody's house, looking good with your swag bag ready. Just get in there, burgle them and come out. I don't advocate that obviously, it's just an analogy.
