Marka Ragnos Posted August 21, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 21, 2013 Well, that didn't take long, did it? Since he's back in the PL, he better work on his PR nous, no? Poor bloke needs to master the art of such football-management basic PR tactics as "damning with faint praise" and critiquing the ref's actions not his character. Is it really so hard? He should make lots of public apologies. Hey, it's even more attention, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted August 21, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 21, 2013 I've never understood why some people think him a 'character' and that he is entertaining, I simply can't stand the man and never have been able to stand him. That has nothing to do with the stuff over Charlie Adam either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The stuff over Adam merely reinforced my low opinion of him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 21, 2013 Moderator Share Posted August 21, 2013 For me it was when he got the Crawley fan banned this pre-season that he went from being a slightly mental but entertaining character to a malicious touchy nasty piece of work who happens to be mental. That said, I still think he's Palace's trump card if they're to stay up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Agreed BOF (this is what BOF alludes to) http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23492223 I have given abuse to many managers over the years as well as linesmen and refs, if they were all whining bitches like holloway I too would be banned.

privateer Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I hope the word removed gets the Redknapp treatment when he comes to VP, absolute pelters of abuse. It would be funny to watch him explode with rage on the touchline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't they a protected animal? A Holloway quote: "I couldn’t be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season" – after his QPR side beat Cardiff. Ugh.

Jarpie Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 If people think our treatment of bomb squad is bad... Express article: Outcast Florian Marange 'disgusted' at Crystal Palace treatment CRYSTAL PALACE defender Florian Marange has blasted his treatment by the club, stating he is 'disgusted' at what he has experienced at Selhurst Park since signing on a free transfer last month. Marange left Bordeaux for Palace on a one-year deal after becoming a free agent at the end of last season. But the 27-year-old has made just one appearance under Ian Holloway so far this campaign, during the south London club's 2-1 Capital Cup defeat to Bristol City. And Marange has hit out at Palace after being left out of Holloway's 25-man Premier League squad for this term. "I'm disgusted," Marange told French sports paper L'Equipe. "If I had known this rule, I would have a clause in my contract. But my advisor did not tell me and now I am told that it is almost my fault. "We lost [at Bristol City] but I was not at fault for the two goals. I have only had seven or eight training sessions. How can you judge a player after 10 days?" Marange claims he has not been included by the club since penning his deal in south London and is already considering looking for a move in January. "I have never been presented to the press, I have never had an official photo and I am still waiting for my club suit," he said. "I stayed for 15 days in a hotel before finding somewhere to live and the club told me I had to pick up the bill. "It is true, I have a proper contract, I earn a little more than Bordeaux but living in London is 10 times more expensive. And I came to play. Either I rip up my contract or I wait until the winter transfer window to find a club." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Quote The QPR boss told BBC Five Live: "People think I'm going to get sacked in the morning, well that's nice isn't it? Why don't you sing something better and something different?lls. "I didn't mean to beat you in the play-offs. It wasn't my fault was it? Why don't you show me some respect?" http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/ian-holloway-takes-swipe-at-brighton-over-crystal-palace-playoff-triumph-after-qpr-loss-a3428676.html Bit Salty.

bannedfromHandV Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 If he was consistent he'd be easier to take but he veers from one side to the other often. I know in the past he's stated that there are more important things in life than football and he doesn't get worked up by it (I believe he has disabled children so this perspective is understandable) But then he'll complain about fans singing and winding him up, he's too erratic for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
