Seems a nice chap, but fast becoming a dinosaur. His tactics when chasing games was like under 14s football. Bung a few strikers on. Couldn't drill the defence properly, on all accounts doesn't do enough work on fitness or the basics in training either. I bet it was a few drills then a game every day with IH. Never a premiership level manager. "How can I remember to keep it all together when half the moon is taken away?"

He then managed us to promotion. I'm not saying he's a brilliant manager, because he's not really. Almost fked last season up, and then looked completely out of his depth this season. But he deserves more credit than people on here give him for helping get the club where it is now.

Imagine in any job or walk of life being managed by Ian Holloway . Then think of being managed by Tony Pulis . Who would you respond better to ? I know my answer , and yes I am in the 'if someone had not done a poo we would not have beaten the weed' camp.

Listen to them, it's a joke. If you put all of Holloway's critics together and looked at their contributions to Palace it's obvious that they haven't done even a bean compared to what Holloway did for us. Thank you Ian Holloway.....From a fan who actually knows how to appreciate someone who did this club proud. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.'

For the play offs, he deserves a lot of respect and gratitude. Just out of his depth in the Premier League.

Almost = should have . just could not bring himself to adopt different tactics when they were relatively safe , got caught up in the wonderful attacking football hype created by the media and went down. His best tactical decision for us last year was dropping Ramage for Gabbidon , so credit for that.
