      I have a feeling that of that crop of players, he's the one who looks to have real managerial potential, more so than Nevilles, Gigs & etc.

      Trouble is we've blown it so many times on this front that we're no longer in a position to take a punt.

        They might take a punt with a Championship London side.

          yeah but we've done little or no experience (CR, JFH) and it hasn't zackly worked out. Hard to justify again. Having said that Lampard has more to recommend him than the other names of his generation. We'll see.

            If we’re going down inexperienced but with huge potential Danny Murphy would be my pick

              Top players very rarely make good managers.

                  Westie we are from the same era but i dont know how old you were when you started watching the rangers. I have to completely disagree with you. Holloway was a fantastic player and was a massive cog in a team that was extremely successful. Cant agree with you at all. Holloway might not be a great manager but he was a brillant player. Not flair but you cant say you rated henry and then say ollie was sh ite, he was 100 times the player karl ever was.
                  I played sunday league football today.

                  Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.

                  I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.

                  We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!

                    Wouldn't say Holloway was a brilliant player. A good, workmanlike player in a brilliant team but never a brilliant player himself. I could've looked a million dollars (about £600K) passing the ball 3 yards to Butch Wilkins every week.

                    Agree he was 100 times the player Karl Henry was though (and similar in style).

                        Nope and I hope he fails as a manager....especially if he ever gets the Chelsea job

                          You don't half spout some hot air.

                          Workmanlike midfielder who got stuck in, and covered a lot of ground. Would have let you off if you'd referred to a few of the other regular starters in that midfield (Impey, Sinton, Wilkins, Sinclair) as brilliant. Ollie was just the workhorse in there that let the rest play a bit. Did his job very well, but to refer to him as brilliant is over-egging the pudding in a very big way!

                          Better player than he is a manager by a very long way though, I'll give you that much!

                            Brilliant? Never thought I'd see the word brilliant associated with Holloway. - Zero to hero Simon Barker was the 'massive cog' if there was such a thing in that midfield era of the club. Holloway deserves credit for consistently playing way above his level by putting a shift in every week. That certainly doesn't make him brilliant though, no way.

                              I was there too when he arrived, and I'm sorry but there was no way you could describe him as brilliant.

                              Today he's be a useful holding MF at this level, a good break up merchant. What I can tell you is that he was certainly a better player than manager when you look at his overall career.

                                I am not talking flair, just brilliant at what he did best. Bit like the year we went up where derry was also brilliant. To say he was a sh it player was wrong that's all
