I said the same at the time, but remember he did lose his best friend to suicide. It was seemingly after that that he started going downhill rapidly. Grief can do bad things to a person's mind.


Indeed it can but being a perpetual liar must also have an impact over time.

Spent the last few days in York, and in one of the pubs he was on the sports channel on TV giving it large and being his somewhat "amusing" self... the locals were left in absolutely no doubt about what GTFC fans think about him... I couldn't watch the smarmy assole... FU runaway...   UTM  !!!

I think the reason his failure here particularly affects Town fans as at the time almost to a man/woman everyone was sucked in and most thought it was finally the start of us being an exciting league team after all those years. To the other clubs he done over it’s just a footnote in their history In the Prem or EPL. For us it was the beginning of our return to hell.

Why is this fraud still being given airtime?

I didn’t find him particularly amusing or insightful before he came Town manager, are Quest that short of credible pundits to comment on the EFL?

Don't let him anywhere near a football club again, he's harmless when confined to obscure television channels

There were two Holloway's,  pre covid and post covid.....pre covid he had built  a hard working side with some quality that  had most of us thinking we would be a threat the next season......the post Covid version was completely lost and embarrassing.

I don’t think there was such a change in him. Underlying it all he must have been unstable already.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I’m sure that within the world of football it’s well known how he behaved and treated us. With that in mind I am sure he will never get another job managing a football club. Therefore Quest, and let’s face it it’s not exactly Match of the Day with Lineker and Shearer, will be the only gig he can get. Thank God.

Honestly do any of you wonder what it would have been like without the covid situation?
We roundly blame him but we all know the biggest problem at the club was the non chairman.

I’m not saying Holloway was great but I’m pretty sure if covid hadn’t turned up we would still be in the league and not in the position the board put us in. I fully blame the board and honestly don’t feel that sour again Holloway.
The rotten root cause was to blame!

Would he have got better funds come January ? At the point he left it looked unlikely as the deal for the takeover was dead and no hope likely. Not being funny but if you aren’t given the tools to do a job most people quit.
