You lot are a funny bunch, finally a characteristic and entertaining manager shows his face in the premiership and you are all against him. I would take him 10000 times ahead of the likes of pudgey faced bruce, boring hughes, martinez, hodgson, mcleish, mancini, moaney wenger, jeez....I might as well name the lot of em except Kenny.

I for one will miss Blackpool. I liked their ethic, I liked the football that they played and I liked the unbridled enthusiasm for the game that both Holloway and the team displayed throughout the season, it was for me a hark back to the old days of playing football for footballs sake before the commercialism took over. I also loved the way that he was unmoveable on his pride for the team and his total backing of the team through thick and thin. It gives me hope that there is still honour beyond our club in this game.

I hope to see them back at some point. I think the premiership will be worse off without them.

Agree 100%.

I really enjoyed Blackpool this season, especially Holloway.  They had some really entertaining games and did really well against some good clubs.

Holloway spoke his mind and was never afraid of the consequences, which is good because today too many managers are afraid to say what they really want to in fear that the FA will start going against them, when in reality it seems to work the other way around (Fergie anyone?)


Another thing I really liked is that he wasn't afraid to comment on things that didn't affect him.  He full on blew the whistle against manure midway through the season, nowhere near a time they played them.  He flat out said they were favored by the FA and I loved that.

I will miss Halloway and I'll miss Blackpool. Best of luck to them in the championship!
