We did have a possession-based game and really it’s not ideal to go up into the Premier League because they’re all better than you. Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea – they take some stopping, getting anywhere near them.

Grimsbytelegraph.co.uk. 29 December 2020. Holloway was suspended (sent on gardening leave) as manager by Queens Park Rangers on 6 February 2006. The reason given by the QPR board was that the constant rumours linking Holloway to the vacant managerial position at Leicester City were causing too many problems for the club. [8] As it turned out, the Leicester job went to Rob Kelly, and QPR went on to finish 21st, just one place above the relegation positions.I don't know where his mind was': Glenn Hoddle suggests Manuel Akanji's error which allowed Lois Openda to give RB Leipzig the lead against Man City was down to Pep Guardiola's tactical instructions I think sometimes when you're in a position when a manager goes, like Graham Alexander the last time, you feel as if you have to give it to someone in there.

Ian Scott Holloway (born 12 March 1963) is an English professional football manager, former player, media personality and television pundit who was most recently the manager of Grimsby Town. [3] [4] Holloway took over a club that was struggling both on and off the pitch. In his first season in charge of Rovers, he led the club to 17th place in Division Two (now League One). The next season, however, Bristol Rovers gained fifth place and made the playoffs. Despite taking a first-leg advantage of 3–1 against Northampton Town, Rovers subsequently lost 3–0 in the second leg and went out 4–3 on aggregate in the semi-finals. The 1998–99 season ended with a somewhat disappointing 13th place. Holloway retired as a player following that season, having played more than 400 matches for Bristol Rovers, to concentrate fully on management. In 1999–2000, his last full season at the club, Rovers finished 7th, narrowly missing the playoffs. On 28 June 2006, Holloway became the manager of Plymouth Argyle, and promised to take the club to the Premier League. [9] On 12 August, after Plymouth beat Sunderland away 2–3, in celebration of his first away win as manager, Holloway offered to buy every one of the 700 fans who made the 805-mile (1,296km) round trip a drink: "Anyone who travelled up there please send me a letter. I would love to buy you a drink." [10] He fully appreciates his tendency to use humour as a pressure release valve can rub owners up the wrong way, that he might be perceived from the outside as not taking the job seriously.
