We were at The New Den for my brother's 60th, having lunch in one of the dining rooms when Holloway, who was manager at the time, came in to make a speech. It was much worse than anything from Roland; all the Millwall supporters at the table were embarrassed by it and even Ms AA, who knows nothing about football, couldn't understand why he had a more important position than janitor.
TV love him because he's a bit quirky and has some funny sayings but as a football manager he's not done much apart from his time at Blackpool.
I think all that stuff has gone to his head, it was relatively entertaining a few years ago when it seemed genuine - now the bloke seems to be playing a character whenever he talks into a microphone.

I am told (hush hush) that the REAL managerial force at Blackpool was Charlie Adam, the team captain .. he's now at Stoke and is a bit of a power behind the throne there as well, alongside Bowen our ex master left back and mad Mark Hughes
People think I'm going to get sacked in the morning… well that's nice isn't it? Why don't you sing something better and something different?" said Holloway, whose Crystal Palace side beat Brighton in the 2013 Championship play-offs
I didn't mean to beat you in the play-offs. It wasn't my fault was it? Why don't you show me some respect.

Errr... WOT? - Why didnt you let them win then?
Holloway was spot on it was not his fault; lets face it that Palace team went down hill that year after Freedman left; Holloway got very very lucky they scraped over the line. Ive been betting againsnt QPR since he was appointed and hes not let me down yet. Get on Wolves 4-5 at the weekend; his last game in charge me thinks

I'm as happy as a badger on the first day of the mating season.

Wigan, 5 defeats in a row, Blackburn and Burton 4 in a row, Rotherham stranded
Further up the table, Bristol City have lost 4 in a row and 7 out of their last 8, while Norwich have won 2 and lost EIGHT out of their last 10!
It's a very polarised division this year, with a much larger gap between top and bottom than other seasons, when the Championship has been very tight
