The Inspirational Ian Holloway - Blackpool FC 2010

[@Burkee85]

This man is one of the greatest legends ever to take charge of a football team.

[@the1andonlytitch]

He really deserved his shot at the premier league its a shame a few bad ref decisions cost them

[@mickharrison9004]

I am the one who flocks well said friend the refs were disgusting against a great old football club that should of been shown respect for what they did the worst example of bad refereeing was man utd home and away specially at home Blackpool 2 0 up with twenty mins to go and Luke varney just about to slot it in the back of the net would have been 3 0 end of but evre chopped him took his standing leg I was 6 yds away behind the goal a stonewall pen but no and the rest is history to go down by just one point was diabolical we d been robbed of at least 7 points by biast bad refereeing glory glory Blackpool fc .

[@rafflesman]

Blackpool's great victory at Wembley. - one of the biggest thrills of my life. Well done Ian and well done Blackpool. And I agree with him about the state of things in, British, and the world's, life. I write as someone who has lived in S.E. Asia for 25 years, as well as Britain.

[@varnishman]

Such a lovely fella, and I'm a Salford United fan ....

[@BackFromNowere]

Ian Holloway really is a football maverick. Crazy, interesting, succesful and a genius. Hilarious with it and class on the pitch, the Premier League will miss him if Blackpool are relegated on Sunday.

[@haywoodbadman10]

He'll always be mr Blackpool to me! He was such a great fit for that club. It's a shame to see the tangerines fucked under the oystons

[@tonyt6301]

How I wish we could return! What a wonderful manager

[@Jimmycrow1980]

I used to love watching football and playing in my younger days but the interest went away. However this guy and his team especially what he is sayin is inspirational. A real down to earth guy. Makes me wanna get back into football and support Blackpool.

[@jimboBFC1]

holloway is so right what he's sayin. gotta love him. all the best Blackpool next season. when we(Barnsley) went up in 97 everyone wrote us off & bereted us cos we're a small club. ignore the tossers. we battled week in week out,took some drubbings but also won some good teams and fell just short in the end. you'll enjoy the experience. Whatever happens, keep battling & believe. Your team & manager's a credit to the championship

[@prattle128]

I'm a Liverpool fan in the USA- so I don't get to see much of the teams besides teams like Manchester United/City, Arsenal, etc. But from what I've heard and seen of Blackpool- they seem like a real team, that really plays the right way. Wish that I could definitely see more of them. Exactly the kind of football that people love to watch.

[@tyson10682]

hero, legend all round diamond

[@ToriiHunterFan]

no disrespect to blackpool, i'm pulling for you guys this year, but i hope when wenger leaves in 2014, we snatch up old ollie. my favorite manager in the prem!

[@wrestlechappy]

Ollie is a god..good Kingswood boy! Bristol Rovers legend and always will be. will be loved by the best half of bristol for ever. hopefully one day he will return, we are in his heart and he is in ours...forever.

[@classicsportclassictiyl8547]

Well Ian Holloway is larger than life and has a lot to say but this was his finest hour you have to remember Blackpool were many people's favourites to go down at the start of that season and also when he took the job at Bloomfield Road after a year out it was to rebuild his reputation which had taken a battering after the 2007/08 season when he walked out on Plymouth to take the vacant job at Leicester after Gary Megson defected to Bolton and promptly got the foxes relegated to the third tier of English football for the first time ever in their history which saw him pay the price with his job.

[@DameTremonti]

Shhhhhhh

[@mertles02]

@spaoftware can't imagine anyone hating Blackpool, I'm a Spurs fan and I love Ollie and Blackpool, they've been great for the Premiership, the only side I don't mind beating us!

[@randomsamno9]

@spaoftware I'm surprised anyone would hate Blackpool really unless it was a Preston fan, or maybe a bitter Plymouth fan angry at Holloway. Fair play to ya hope you continue to do well this season, screw the critics I love it when the small clubs prove 'em wrong.

[@seaniemc1]

AMAZING!

[@oiTzJames]

go on you pool! holloway, legend.

[@huttybomb]

Blackpool fc best manager ever come on the pool :)

[@Instasamps]

If I had a favourite gas head, it would be Holloway 👏

[@huttybomb]

Preston wish they could play like us

[@flatbedmike1]

As a QPR fan.... I miss Ollie

[@Mynamesnigel]

@spaoftware Up the mighty pool? Yeah! LiverPOOL! ;D But on a more serious note. Yeah, you have done really really well and what a smashing manager you have there! If only Ian Holloway could manage 20 teams, hunh?

[@juze0303]

BLACKPOOL next premier champs right after arsenal

[@ToriiHunterFan]

@twiggo66 - yep. gotcha.

[@ToriiHunterFan]

@twiggo66 - doubting very highly they'll get relegated this year. ollie keeps their heads on straight and their style is conducive to keeping them in games against anyone. will they beat the likes of chelsea or man u or arsenal? no, they won't. will they get enough points to finish mid-table? yes, sir....they will. get used to seeing them around twiggo.

[@davyanilhaq2465]

*He wouldn't even stand a chance against AVB's Chelsea.*

[@ToriiHunterFan]

@twiggo66 - mmmk troll.

[@97carded]

@spaoftware everyone likes this team. why not show class like your manager. awful language by you....

[@mayfield4]

legend - true gentleman with morals, respect and class. FIFA and FA take note - this is how football SHOULD be managed.

[@Eng1andS0ul]

@spaoftware Im a Forest fan and gladly stayed to the end and clapped off their team when they beat us in the Playoffs last year, keep up the good work Olly and co

[@mickharrison9004]

Eng1andS0ul nice one mate I was there you did well taking it on the chin lots of your fellow fans didn't .

[@joshwwefan]

Im a Stoke City supporter and I honestly want Blackpool to do well this season, i have got great respect for the Blackpool fans, Ollie the legend and the club in general, and I cant wait for Saturday when Stoke play Blackpool. It should be an amazing game! :)

[@spaoftware]

@xDm5x9tZpp Thank you and good luck for the rest of the rest of the season.

[@spaoftware]

@DAJAZDJ1 If you read my comment properly you would've noticed that i've said that we've got no big name players. It doesn't bother me if people don't know who any of our squad are, all that matters is that our players perform.

[@fchoudhury13]

@prattle128, yah absolutely true, they got great results in the way as well and they play fantastic football instead of defensive football or long ball.

[@spaoftware]

@DAJAZDJ1 They're not millionare's, our highest payed players are only on £10,000 a week.

[@seaniemc1]

AMAZING!!!
