About this deal

Before the start of Blackpool's first top-flight season in 40 years, media reports suggested that Holloway was set to resign as manager following an alleged dispute with club chairman Karl Oyston.

In February 2023, Holloway applied for and was interviewed for the vacancy at Scottish Premiership side Motherwell, although the board eventually chose Stuart Kettlewell. On 12 January 2021, Grimsby Town became the first football club in England to be fined for breaking COVID-19 protocol after it was revealed that Holloway had played darts with some of his players at the club's training ground. Only giving it three stars because the structure of the book feels like it has been thrown together and some anecdotes appear multiple times. It’s not for the faint-hearted and unless you’ve got skin as thick as rhino and, more importantly, a wicked sense of humour, you’ve no chance of surviving.The board and Ollie had a joint vision, first to improve the league position, secondly to deliver top class training facilities and finally by relocation to a new community stadium.

The appointment was confirmed later the same day with Holloway signing a one-year contract with the club. Holloway will be at Blundell Park for Grimsby's match against Salford City on 1 January as he aims to steer the side away from the drop zone. On the morning of 23 December 2020, just hours after Grimsby's 1–2 home defeat to Bradford City, Holloway resigned as Grimsby Town manager releasing a statement using his Twitter account. The Mariners have not won a game in more than three months - a run of 15 games - and have slipped to 21st in League Two, six points above bottom side Stevenage. Nine months later, he guided the club to the Premier League after winning the play-offs following a sixth-placed finish in The Championship, [22] becoming only the second Blackpool manager (after Les Shannon in 1970) to win promotion in his first full season.

Holloway went to Sir Bernard Lovell School in Oldland Common at the same time that Gary Penrice was at Chase School for Boys in Mangotsfield. Well, ask most football fans, and they’ll probably think they can do a better job than some managers, and they may not be wrong. On 6 January 2014, Holloway signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Millwall; this was terminated in March 2015.

A native of Kingswood, near Bristol, Holloway grew up in Cadbury Heath, where his mother, Jean, lived in the same council house until her death in April 2018. His record of achieving success at unfashionable, underperforming clubs makes him an attractive long-term appointment," said director John Fenty. This may result in small marks to the dustjacket and title page, please also bear in mind that each signature will be a little different from the one we show here. On 11 November 2016, Holloway was appointed as manager of Queens Park Rangers for a second spell replacing Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. In December 2019, he joined Grimsby Town as a manager and club director after committing to purchase shares in the club.

Holloway, stunned by the claims, had his lawyers look at the statements, while Mandarić accused Stapleton of " sour grapes" over Holloway's move to Leicester, saying Plymouth Argyle should be thankful for what he had achieved during his time there.

His first league game in charge of the Seasiders was a 1–1 draw with his former club Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road on 8 August 2009, the opening day of the 2009–10 season. Holloway made a host of signings that included his former Blackpool players Billy Clarke and Elliot Grandin. A midfielder, he notably played in the Premier League with Queens Park Rangers where he made just under 150 league appearances in a five-year spell. Football management is like being a potato – you’re never too far from the sack and everyone is constantly chipping away at you.This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use.
