What I do see are posts saying that he has identified where our problems lie and he comes across very well in interviews and puts his points over honestly in language that ordinary punters understand without the usual trotted out clichés. That in itself is a welcome change from what we've had in the last few years.

Mio Krivokapic Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 If it is Holloway that has got to be a short term deal until the end of the season I would have thought, as he's very much yesterdays man (never fully got the hype).

Mind I told you all about burrows before news broke 😉 Expand Fair enough but I hope you've been fed crap info as I personally don't think he would be a good fit for the club, any time he was interviewed before or after games he always came across as a bit of an arrogant arsehole who loved himself. When he was at Grimsby he never moved to the local area and commuted every day,so I can't see him relocating to the shire, but as he obviously applied for the job, maybe that will change. Another worry is he's always been at clubs with much bigger budgets and resources than Motherwell so would he cope. If it is to be him time will tell but after the Alexander and Hammell episodes I have no confidence in the board getting this decision right.
