Holloway new Milwall manager

Just announced on Talksport... more to follow, i assume.

From the BBC

Millwall are set to appoint former Blackpool and Crystal Palace boss Ian Holloway as their new manager.

The 50-year-old left Palace by mutual consent in October after less than a year in charge of the club.

Holloway has agreed terms on a two-and-a-half-year deal with the Lions and is set to take charge later this week.

Millwall, who are 21st in the Championship table, have been without a manager since they sacked Steve Lomas on Boxing Day.

Lomas was sacked just six months after he took charge at The Den following a poor start to the season, which had seen Millwall lose 11 of their opening 22 league games.

Former Lions striker Neil Harris was appointed caretaker manager of the side but failed to win any of his three matches in charge and saw the south London club knocked out of the FA Cup by League Two side Southend United on Saturday.

Holloway returns to management less than three months after his exit from Crystal Palace.

The former Bristol Rovers and QPR midfielder began his managerial career with Bristol Rovers in 1996 and has since had spells in charge of QPR, Plymouth Argyle, Leicester City, Blackpool and Crystal Palace.

I never know whether i like Ollie or not from one week to the next, but he does make me laugh

The managerial merry go- round again. How can any manager, especially in the lower leagues put their heart and soul into a job knowing they'll get sacked in a year and get another position almost straight away?

Well this is sure to please my Holloway-despising Millwall supporting father-in-law.

Fun times.

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

They're welcome to each other.

I like Holloway, always good value for a manager and refreshingly honest.

My fear though is that after promotions with both Palace and Blackpool - he goes and works his magic in a season or two and all of a sudden we've a trip to the Den to prepare for each season.

Good thing we've got Under Armour.

 

[Bobbins]

He's a fraudulent, talentless twat.

Unfortunately most of the Millwall fans have no idea about football (understandably) so think it's the best appointment in the world.

I look forward to their dreams being crushed, as my Palace mates' were.

Match made in heaven.

I don't mind Holloway, but Millwall...
