Did ask at the time whether we could have tempted him from Blackpool and the consensus seemed to be no. I suggest now it looks like we might have been able to, though at the time that looked unlikely.
Wonder whether in hindsight we've made a mistake and should have got Holloway?
Time will tell.....
Now we have one, I might have been tempted to give him a go..

Nothing much to judge him on at the minute. We needed the change and we now have one, which is all goodness. So happy we've got a change, no idea yet whether it's the roght one or the wrong one.BWFC_Insane wrote:You are not keen on Freedman then?Worthy4England wrote:I think whilst we were without a manager, nothing would have convinced me that Holloway was a good long term bet.Whookam wrote:Yep, can't help but feel that Crystal Palace have done quite well out of the managerial merry-go-round.BWFC_Insane wrote:Hmm wouldn't have minded Holloway, more proven at this level than Freedman to an extent and good at bringing through young players.Annoyed Grunt wrote:SSN are saying Holloway has left to manage Palace.

We need to sort out not leaking two goals a game, which he seemed to do at Palace last season, and we probably need to get away from "two equal players for each position", because we end up generally with two equal Championship level players - think I'd rather one much better player and a rezzie - but I'm sure I'd call him rotten if that fooked up.

True enough, wasnt the bin some kind of booby prize they had to get rid of. Never really watched it which makes it strange that it seems so familiar.

Re: Blackpool
I used to watch it with my Nana. Yeah, they'd act out some sort of sketch, then one of them would read out a riddle which contained the most tenuous/ridiculous clues as to a prize (and also a hint that the prize might be the booby prize, a dustbin). The contestants would then refuse (pun intended) certain of the riddles, the matching prize would then be wheeled out in front of them. I seem to recall that that was how it worked anyway.Ianmooreslovechild wrote: True enough, wasnt the bin some kind of booby prize they had to get rid of.

Coyle could be in the dugout for a Bolton game somewhat quicker than any of us expected.

Why are you dragging up something Newboy clearly said last season, or more likely the one before that?
