Bad news if they get Holloway, he is a real impact manager and will get them out of trouble.
Very surprised if they could afford him though.0 -
If it is be Holloway, at least the spanners won't have to learn how to spell a new word. They are used to putting in the section for address of next of kin.9

Millwall might get a manager who has promoted two teams to the premier league on quite à small budget.
Not sure what everyone is laughing at.4 -

And then threw his hands up and said I can't do this it's too hard !Chris_from_Sidcup said:0 -
Very much doubt Millwall could afford Holloway, and I think he is better than that.0

Agree - unless he has family reasons for wanting to stay in London.cafctom said:Very much doubt Millwall could afford Holloway, and I think he is better than that.
He has two PL promotions already so surely will command much more than Lomas.0 -
It's holloway. Announcement due at 13:000

if it does go wrong it will go very wrong
must admit holloway gave lots of reasons like pressure,needing a rest,failing to motivate players,head not right etc for leaving palace ....so although i quite like him lets hope it goes very wrong for them1 -
Think the whole thing was a balls up, didn't have any plans in place for promotion and they all panicked, with 16 signings and no real strategy. Ruined the dressing room.lolwray said:if it does go wrong it will go very wrong

Don't think there's much danger of us having the same problem of premiership promotion.1 - Sponsored links:

Sky Sources: Ian Holloway will be named as the new Millwall manager. More on #ssn as we get it...0 -
They will win 1st few games under him, or at least up their game, but after that the manager will get frustrated at the rubbish he has at his disposal and probably a bit of a depressing realisation in comparison to the higher status job he had earlier in the season. Pulis is showing him up abit, probably why holloway decided to make a rapid return to the game.0

A good appointment for the Spanners. No doubt about it.
If they'd given Harris the job would have thought relegation was on the cards but highly unlikely with Holloway there.1 -
Good appointment. A comfortable mid-table finish for them now this season.CafcTeckers said:Sky Sports News @SkySportsNews 3m

Not necessarily. Remember his spell at Leicester?Brendan_O_Connell said:

Holloway is a sensitive soul, huge risk him going there and pretty much shows near enough everyone in football will go somewhere if the money is right.
It will either go spectacularly wrong or, well, I don't want to think about that !0 -
Thought holloways moral compass would be beyond managing millwall. A lot of things in this make it a surprising appointment. Money talks.0
-
at first i thought that he could do a good job at millwall but then i remembered that when he took over at palace they were top and they almost fell out of the playoff positions by the end of the season... lets hope that form continues at millwall and he takes them down0
-
I think it's a decent appointment for them but he's not as great as people make out.
People forget the fact that Palace only just about stumbled into the play offs. All their good work was done by Freedman, they were absolutely flying under him. But from the start of December to the last game of the season, Palace only won 6 games. They won on the last day but if the season had gone another week or 2, they'd have f*cked it up. He was in charge of Palace for 46 games and only won 14.
However i do think he's a decent manager, and he'll certainly make them more solid and keep them up.0 -
Got Leicester relegated.0

Was stressed and needed a rest after Palace.
Now decides to go down The Den. Odd.2 -
That's made me chuckle.Dave2l said:Thought holloways moral compass would be beyond managing millwall.

agree ....the danger is if holloway isnt ready and is going through a "sensitive" period he might send you down with not only him but a few others on expensive contractsSparrows Lane Lion said:

I was thinking of the mass recruitment drive which resulted in a broken dressing room and a lot of players who lost all respect for the man. As someone else has mentioned, Pulis is showing him up a bit with his organisation of what he was left to work with. That and the fact that he almost contrived to help them lose out on the promotion anyway with the form they had after he took over. If it hadn't been for our usual roll over act in London derbies, they would have missed out and Millwall would have been down as well.Chris_from_Sidcup said:
Personally, I think he's a busted flush. Millwall need some organising at the back - what is it, 50+ goals conceded and that's with a decent keeper - and just don't think he's that sort of manager.0 -
He's been around the block and will stabilise them quickly enough. Pity really.0

Lol. Millwall have the worst goals let in record and to fix it bring in Ian Holloway...Hello League1.0

holloway is not going through a good managerial spell right now. he was 2-3 years ago but not now. at palace i seem to remember them doing good for the first few games then scraping playoffs and lifting htier game. they got one prem win and that was agaisnt di canio. i would say the crystal palace psell for him seemed like it was better than it was. in this situation i think they have made the wrong appointment by getting him. get a manager who will stop leaking goals. millwall have defensive problems so it is stupid to get a manager who bases his gae on scoring a lot and playing attackin football. he could potentially do a blackpool tho. i reckon if they strt well with him they stay up, if not its league one.0

Most entertaining team in the division now. We'll concede 3 a game but score 4, 5, 6 or 7 goals.Athletico Charlton said:Lol. Millwall have the worst goals let in record and to fix it bring in Ian Holloway...Hello League1.
No idea who or how we'll score those goals yet though.....3 -
