I really can't see any person wanting that job. Where do you start?

They'll get heil! Who is he you might wonder but so will the rest of the football world :lol:


Be very surprised if one of those takes the job on.Theres no real money at the club and you could see that by the signings they made in the summer.I've a little sympathy for Hollaway as his hands have been a little tied by the finances at this club and whoever takes over will need to be a miracle worker to keep that squad up.He won't be long out of work though as a championship club are bound to come calling.

Have Sheff Utd got a new manager yet?




Clough (Nigel, that is) ;)

Not good news at all he signed Championship players and was like some of the fools that think attack is the best tactic for the weaker teams in the premiership, he was defeinately taking them down as bottom of the league team by the end of the season.

Any new Manager will still have one he'll of a task keepi g that squad up and it is extremely unlikely anyone can do it, if they did that would be one hell of a job.

I would not like to see someone like Pullis there, who could organise and play a very defensive team that would try to break, that would make them hard for teams to beat and would be there best chance.

No matter who they get, I still see it as them and Sunderland with one other out of about eight teams.

BBC report Pulis is unsurprisingly in the frame:

I actually don't mind Holloway as he wears his heart on his sleeve and appears to have fallen on his sword in exiting Palarse, if indeed reports are to be believed and its not a cover story. Only really got peeved with him with some of his daft pre-match 'mind-game' remarks but then again, what do you expect from a Carrot-Cruncher. Good luck to the loon but wish he had stayed there as they were a relegation cert.

What ever else people think, Ian Holloway is a decent bloke, one who knows his limitations.



Totally agree with this ^^^^^^^^^ thought he conducted himself very well and stated how he and the owners were pulling in opposite directions with regard to their aims for Palarse. Wish him all the best, can be annoying sometimes, but can't we all :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
