HawK Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Imo managers should just resign when promoted from the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Holloway didn't get sacked btw. He tried to resign after the defeat. Was rejected and then they let him go today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe_next_year Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Thought they actually looked good before the Fulham equaliser too. Think Hughton, Mackay and Jol. Jol has just bought himself a bit of time, but only delaying the inevitable, No chance he can do what they owner want him to with his lazy, Over the hill squad.

Ketsbaia Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 There's a Norwich fan on my course who hates Hughton, like. Almost at my level of Pardew-hate. It'll be Chrissy H or Jol to go next, surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I do agree, it's better for managers NOT to get promoted. Although Rodgers is a notable standout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Holloway wasn't going to keep them up and his track-record in the PL is poor. Why keep him? I agree if I was a chairman of one of these clubs if hire a Holloway to get me promoted then wave goodbye as soon as that goal was achieved.

Stifler Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I don't think you can rule out Hughes either. For this reason I have went Jol, Hughton, Hughes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Holloway wasn't going to keep them up and his track-record in the PL is poor. Why keep him? Nobody's going to keep them up. They're nowhere near good enough to be there, and of the two players mainly responsible for getting them there, one is at Man Utd and the other has a cruciate knee injury. They should just try to enjoy this season and attempt to use the massive PL cash that they'll have compared to other Championship clubs to go down, build a stronger squad and try and come up again the year after. You say "his record is poor" - that Blackpool side he brought up and very nearly kept up had been amongst the favourites to be relegated from the Championship the year they were promoted. There's only so much a manager can do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Aye i honestly think Hughes will be next.... only one point above relegation zone and Remy has scored more than their entire team... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only so much a manager can do. I agree with this. Palace though have apparently just allowed the Zaha money to be spent on players (and were actually expecting relegation as well), and using the TV money towards a new ground or an expansion to Selhurst Park. Holloway hasn't really been given a chance to get them bedded into the Premiership and in my opinion I think he earned the right to take them back down.

Ste Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Used to like Holloway but his quirky quotes got boring fast. Fair enough if he's resigned but I don't think he could have done much better. It's a big ask of anyone to keep them up. I think it would have been worth staying, and to look to win promotion next year again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a strange hire, don't know a single person who thought that would be a success. Think Stoke are one of those teams that weren't gonna go up or down under Pulis, just stand still. But without him, I reckon they could be in big trouble this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Holloway, 50, guided Palace to the Premier League via the play-offs last season after joining in November, and had won only one league game this term. Wonder which team gave Palace their only league win this season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Boro should go all out to try and get Holloway but he'd be a mug to take it IMO. Doesn't appear as though there's much to spend there at all and their squad is utter dross. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say "his record is poor" - that Blackpool side he brought up and very nearly kept up had been amongst the favourites to be relegated from the Championship the year they were promoted. There's only so much a manager can do. Not quite. I said his PL record is poor. Which it is, as that Blackpool side, despite nearly staying up, were relegated. Close maybe, but still not good enough. I don't think he's a bad manager by any means, as he's gotten two Championship sides promoted in 3 years. He's just not a great choice for a newly-promoted side looking to stay up. I agree, there is only so much a manager can do. Asking Holloway to keep them up was asking too much of him. Even if they are a poor team destined for relegation, they should still make every effort to stay up while they're here. They really have nothing to lose by going for broke.
