Yep, there were many attempts to make him a laughing stock (which, admittedly, I laughed at), but he came impressively close. Had they hired him instead of Meulensteen, they'd have been fine.
The interesting one has been OGS, who was hugely touted and has looked the most clueless manager in the division for the past six months. Edited by sydtheeagle (04 May 2014 9.31pm)

If Ian Holloway truly 'fell on his sword' then we have a lot to be thankful for, as the CPFC2010 were prepared to stand by him and even go down with him at the helm (which is very commendable), we would have missed out on Pulis and almost certainly a 2nd season in the Premiership and the money involved. This may have taught the Board a lesson about being ruthless in the football and many other clubs will be able to look at this example for future justification in firing someone early Without doubt TP's Premiership experience was a major advantage that OGS and Magath didn't have....but lack of experience hasn't seemed to work against Poyet

Poyet had nowhere near the impact as Pulis. You just don't seem to see the togetherness or comraderie in the other squads that you see in ours. That's down to Pulis. As soon as he gives Speroni that new contract then I will love Pulis eternally.

, as the CPFC2010 were prepared to stand by him and even go down with him at the helm (which is very commendable), It certainly would NOT have been commendable if the 'Board' allowed Holloway to continue to manage a team that was losing regularly and was cut adrift. Can you imagine the fans furore ? I really do NOT think this would have been allowed to happen - at the end of the day survival was the primary objective and the 'Board'could not have just sat back and done nothing.It would have been a dereliction of duty.
