Holloway To Leave? >>> Holloway Sacked

maybe he is wanted somewhere else  
id rather go down with ollie than warburton 

Holloway is a very honest manager who wears his heart on his sleeve and shows his passion. He might not be the most diplomatic person at times but IMO he always did well for us. Prior to being sacked by our board in 2018 he had done everything they asked and despite that they replaced him.

I'd have Holloway over Warburton every day of the week. I'd have Warnock over Warburton every day of the week. Unfortunately, our West Ham supporting owners who have mismanaged the club from day one prefer Warburton.

Grimsby are lucky that Ollie is their manager and they should appreciate him and his passion for their club or else they could end up with a Steve McClaren or a Mark Warburton.

It seems a very strange situation that Holloway found himself in. A lot of the issues seemed to have been around the ex chairman and majority shareholder John Fenty who had been a business partner of convicted fraudster Alex May, with May looking to invest £1 million into Grimsby but was met with strong resistance by the fans and therefore was duly turned down by the club. In the same week the club had met with local businessman Tom Shutes about a potential takeover, with Holloway re-affirming his position as the clubs manager saying he stands with the fans but was finding it increasingly hard to do his job. He also backed away from his Director duties to concentrate on his position as manager and said he would be using social media more often to communicate with supporters.

After Grimsby's 1-0 victory over Scunthorpe United on 19 December 2020, Holloway stated that he would not be going ahead with plans to invest £100,000 of his money in the club due to the on-going issues in the boardroom and on-going takeover talks.

Then today Holloway resigned as Grimsby Town manager, after just under a year in charge, citing his displeasure at John Fenty's decision to sell his shares in the club, claiming he did not want to carry on at the club without the people he came here to work with.

I genuinely thought his management days were beyond him but good luck to him.

A genuine QPR loyalist. I always wish him the best. You'd never say no to manager of his stature coming in and steadying the proverbial ship!
