Will always have a soft spot for him, as it seems he will always with our club after what he achieved ;
He’s like a lot of that generation and trying to stay relevant. The game has moved on, it’s a new generation now.I thought Ollie in his time with us was a genius and nothing will take that away,but as a person I can't make up my mind,is he a warm approachable,honest guy or just turning it on when the cameras are in front of him?.
I think his managerial days in England at least are over, bit like a certain Mick Mccarthy.
I watched this this morning. Such a nice piece of work. Rosenior and Ainsworth in particular come across as a class acts.
It's on YouTube. See above.Looks a great watch Assume it’s on Sky catch up? Will look for it when I get in tonight
Cheers, still don’t really understand this modern telly malarkey. Still getting my head round Sky and I’ve only had that for 30 yearsIt's on YouTube. See above.
I don't think he'd have done that under decent owners. Part of his mental approach was doing things despite the owners, that's where he drew his teambuilding from.Great watch, the guy was a genius and if he had done this whilst a legitimate owner was in charge. I feel we'd be a Brentford right now. Or a Bournemouth.
The problem as far as I can see it is any manager who intends to apply for jobs in the future wouldn't want to be seen to be outspoken against his employers. Would you hire someone if they had a reputation and therefore the possibility that they might slag you off in the future? I'd be very wary.Stuck up for Karly over the fans and pretty much told us to shut up
Love him for what he did here but I can't stand the bloke after that
I know, but seeing it from his perspective I can understand those comments.Stuck up for Karly over the fans and pretty much told us to shut up

From 38mins when he's walking around the club, it's clear how much he still loves the club. I do find it a shame that some people can't stand him because he spoke his honest opinion on Karl. He worked under him for 3yrs and despite our hate as a fan base for the Oystons, it's clear he himself had a good relationship with Karl and probably feels like he owes Karl a lot for hiring him at a time no one would touch him after his failure at Leicester, and giving him the platform to put his career on an upward trajectory. I'll forever be grateful for the best trip he took us on, and wouldn't be against him playing some part within the club, as he quite clearly holds the club and the fans in the highest regard.

Yes not his finest hour.Stuck up for Karly over the fans and pretty much told us to shut up

Maybe he just didn't like you?He's a miserable fucker away from the cameras, it's all an act.
100%.Perhaps some people prefer the rain?

Well I totally agree with you. Loved our time with Holloway as manager.Watched it early this morning, the segment at the end from 38 minutes when he's wandering around Bloomfield on his own was brilliant and the Sir Jimmy anecdote brought a little tear.
The best manager I've ever seen here and the best time supporting this stupid ** club, loved his teams and love the man. I know people don't agree with me, but other people are usually wrong about everything.
Imagine the atmospheres today under that sort of football and similar circumstances.Just imagine if you had kept in a bottle what the football, fans and atmosphere was like under Ollie. Imagine going home after the Port Vale, Orient and Derby games this season, sitting back in a chair and taking the top off that bottle for little while and taking the contents in. How quickly would the smile return to your face, it was a place in time that we will probably never see again.
Nailed it. Spot on in all aspects.Watched it early this morning, the segment at the end from 38 minutes when he's wandering around Bloomfield on his own was brilliant and the Sir Jimmy anecdote brought a little tear.

Come back Olly - It's pissing it down at Bloomfield road of late.Sir Jimmy; Thank you for the days in the sun, because it rains an awful lot around here.
Plenty on this board praised Joffrey for years.I didn't like the praising of Karl Oyston and I've been pissed off with him the last few years but I was moved by that. You can't help not be. It was our days in the sun and also his.
Joffrey wasn't 100% bad. Only about 95%.Plenty on this board praised Joffrey for years.
Sir Jim was able to thank Ollie when he left the club. Cos he understood what he'd done, how how hard it is to achieve it, and what he'd had to work with and deal with. No immature anger about him leaving."Thanks for the days in the sun, 'vis it rains a lot round here".
Really got me that.
What a time!
I'm not gonna lie. I was gutted, angry and resentful when he left. Wasn't happy when he didn't condemn Karl. However, I'm a bit older and wiser now, and can look back with complete gratitude about the memories he and that team gave me.Joffrey wasn't 100% bad. Only about 95%.
