*Ian Holloway shortlisted by West Ham*

[Ric-Roc]

Good luck to Ollie but I do feel this would be a job slightly to big for him.

According to Sky sports he is on a 4 man shortlist.

Do you reckon he's up to a job like this after a great season at Blackpool?

Gianni thought the same when he said he wasn't the manager to take us to the next level. think we were about 11th at the time...

[Factamondo]

too be fair rocky not exactly a 'major' job the u/p hotseat these days....nailed on certs for relegation imho next season!

good to see terry thomas back facto me old son - legend. was in essex the other day. was hearing about a nightclub there purely for truckers. not the most elevated of places, i suspect, but some amazing things go on there apparently. do you know it...?

[Ric-Roc]

Yea true facto bit of a poisoned challis these days. Others on shortlist;
Sam Allardyce
Dave Jones
Avram Grant

Why would he leave for a smaller club

Why would he leave for a smaller club

Exactly what I was thinking. Once Blackpool go up this season i believe they will stay there. Next year West Ham, Wolves and Albion will go down

[ollyhoops]

I think he deserves a chance to manage in the big time.

no bites from me

I can't help but think that putting Ian Holoway in charge of a Premiership club would be a bit like giving a 12 year old the keys to a Ferrari!!!!

Would hardley call West Ham a Ferrari , more Hillman Imp

well Olly is quite experienced now, hes been managing for over 10 years. Hes only ever had 1 terrible season with leicester.

That's a good point. Would be interesting to see what he would do with a few ££££ don't think he's ever had the privilege of splashing out on a bit of quality has he?

Can't see them going for him over experienced premiership managers like Allardyce or Grant tho tbh.
