    Here's an interesting article on Ian Holloway. It was posted on the LFW fansite by QPR fan Lewis Jones who works for Sky Sports and has worked alongside IH. Here he gives a great insight into our new manager who interestingly said this about our squad when he was an outsider looking in ...

    ''He loved Massimo Luongo and Ben Gladwin at Swindon; he’s a fan of Michael Doughty, who now finds himself on loan at the County Ground. His assessment of the QPR squad was, on the whole, positive. He understood Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s logic of trying to play the game through Tjaronn Chery but felt the Dutchman wasn’t being given good enough ball in good enough positions to hurt teams. He often said Glenn Murray, currently tearing it up for Brighton but previously with Ollie in his Palace promotion side, would be the perfect lead for Chery at ten.

    He spoke highly of the improvement in Seb Polter’s game since he came to the UK, but overall wanted more men around him, and more men in the opposition penalty area. Let’s hope he puts that into practice over the coming weeks.''

    Good read 999's. Fingers crossed for better football and results. But at least it should be fun.

    That is a terrific read, and fills me with optimism again just when I was feeling a bit jittery!

    I think the most important thing the article illustrates is that whichever way all of this goes, he is undoubtedly an honest, grounded and very decent human being - so at the very least, that deserves our full and unequivocal support, whatever the future brings...

    Did you read Ollies son is a talented tattoo artist. But he was warned off in Bristol, and they burnt his shop down (never knew there was a tattoo turf war)

    He has now translocated to Maidenhead, and has set up a new shop there

    Ollie's family is also larger than life too

    He seems to be just what the club needs.

    Interesting, insightful and enjoyable read. If, and I reiterate, if he fails I do wonder what it will do to him. Let's just hope that doesn't happen.

    Yes, there is something slightly manic about all this.
