[joshcool118]

I really wish he wud b wolves manager lol i love him and respect him

[chrisjoyce87]

Thumbs up if you think Ian Holloway should take England job following Fabios resignation....

[alex291190]

I wish Blackpool stayed up, simply because Ian Holloway is awesome :)

[chavlad02]

Go ian, you tell em your the manager not the fa tell em to fuck off and stay out of your buisness who you pick is up to you not the fa go ian

[TheRadicaldude978]

Ollie is a legend

[steedo1001]

was someone having a piss at 1:03

[MrNaughtyRohan]

Ian Holloway if your watching this we appreciate your input to the premier league

[jakebcfc1992]

So much love for this bloke

[thegeezerdan]

This is hilarious.

[weatherallc05]

how is it a weakened team scudamore, you fucking scumbag

[chrisbokbok]

I was crying i was laughing so hard. But god dammit he's right

[tel0j]

Whats the point of having a 25man squad if the premier league are gona fine clubs for playing players in that 25 man squad. If that is the case the premier league should make teams have a 16 man squad. Sounds ridiculous? Not as ridiculous as saying you can have 25 players but not play them all.

[FantasticFootballHD]

I am proud to be Bristolian :D

[aelfredhauscarl]

Gobshite didn`t have the balls to resign after all another chapter in the attention seeking Holloway show.

[jackiemoon04]

this fuckin guy.......LEGEND

[aswinking10]

gotta feel for him getting relegated

[fluenty9]

calm down dears....Wow anyone seen how many people in the UK are looking for some secret nookie through " secretshag co uk ??? :0

[RipperTheYorkshire]

@LordRassy you Absolute wankstain of a human being !

[batchjam]

What an absolute legend.

[miles2991]

@LordRassy Wow what a thing to say you fucking horrible human being! I hope youre never allowed to have kids you sick bastard. People like you should be neutered,would make this world a better place. Holloway is a legend!

[KenyanBoyBiggz]

@LordRassy i hope your daughter/wife or even mother gets gang raped and catches HIV. you dont say shit like that about someone's family. especially someone as honest and dedicated to the sport as holloway

[batchjam]

@KenyanBoyBiggz I agree with the sentiment, but the hypocrisy in that statement made me lol. Was it deliberate?? If so, nice one.

[KenyanBoyBiggz]

@batchjam LOL. deliberate yes, makes no sense why someone would upload this video and make such a stupid description.

[tel0j]

@LordRassy Please post your address. Pleeeeease. I would take great pleasure in gutting you and wearing your entrails as a scarf. I would also stab a female member of your family and rape her by fucking the stab wound and jizzing into her bloodstream.

[jadeebensonx]

Blackpool and Ian Holloway are the heart and soul of the Premier League, not arsed!

[weatherallc05]

premier league best league in the world?? my ass. not even serie A fines for "weaker teams". those blackpool players tried their hardest which surely is more important than what the premier league seem to want! wankers

[weatherallc05]

yeah yeah just fine blackpool cos their manager is so committed and has a chance of tearing the premier leagues bigwigs apart. the premier league suck up so much to the big 4, and need to fucking stop screwing over the so called little teams. blackpool have got big heart , which i cant say for many teams in this league.

[weatherallc05]

the press have no right to say that about west ham, you got to respect teams better than that. you dont go into any game assuming victory! holloway can play whoever he wants within what allows

[17Nistelrooy10]

Ian Holloway is winning!

[ablair37]

ian holloway jeramy clarkson, prince harry and phillip the people that make england the best

[burtmaister]

legend best manager in league should replace capello

[damnJack19]

I almost feel sorry for the reporter why would the reporter keeping saying that?. haha. Holloway is so awesome.

[senorsoupe]

Well said Mr. Holloway.  Who is the premier league to tell him who he can play.

[ablair37]

@senorsoupe manchester united have done it twice this season in the league and once in fa cup they not been fined but blackpool got 26,000 pound fine for it football is becoming corrupt let the big rich teams get richer and the struglers will strugel more and more

[WildWeaf]

@ablair37 I now live near Blackpool after moving from Manchester ( ive been a United fan since i was very young) and the support for Holloway around here is massive. The reason United get away with it is that we can put out two different teams that are almost equal in ability, considering the strength of squad we have. I really hope Blackpool stay up as their brand of attcking football has enhanced the Premier League.

[ablair37]

@WildWeaf so ur telling me united can put out macheda and owen instead of hernadez and rooney that its not an equil abilaty at all blackpools squad is about equil no mater who u play in all fairness

[WildWeaf]

@ablair37 United could quite happily play Berbatov as a lone front man and have players such as Nani supporting him (before you say Nani is guarenteed first team, look at how Fergie has picked Park in the recent big games). A central midfield that could comprise of any 2-3 of Scholes, Giggs, Carrick, Fletcher, Anderson or Gibson shows great depth, and the defence that currently leaves O'Shea, Fabio, Smalling and Evans on the bench shows that we have many options in this position too.

[WildWeaf]

@ablair37 I do feel sorry for teams in Blackpool's position, but the fact is that United's "2nd" team is still a quality side. Smalling has been a sensation this seson. Fabio is improving very quickly. O Shea (and Brown for that matter) have been excellent for the club for many years. Evans may have hit rocky patch, but im sure he will develop into a quality player. And that is just the back 4!

The FA cannot impose a rule on teams like United as the manager changes the side so often anyway!

[CBH97100]

They will fine Blackpool.

But I bet they won't fine teams like Chelsea and Manchester UNTD

[kidsarocker]

I'm with Holloway on this subject, his the manger, he picks the team out of the 25 players he registered. Do the Premier league fine Fergie, Wnger, Anchelloti for resting "stars" in a premier legau match just before a crucial Champions league match?

[wildbuttrue]

well said. you're the manager you say what team you want to play, or the world is wrong

[dmarshall37]

The reporter is a wanker!

[ghvb2]

Wish more managers were like him lol

[sportyjoe08]

this guy is a legend!

[j1mf1eld]

He is awesome manager, tells it like it is.

[rickybobby69696]

the premiership needs ian holloway some character 

[SkinsVsPigeon]

Well said Ian Holloway!

[edd184]

great stuff Ian balls of steel

[pmod1945]

Ian Holloway is such a breath of fresh air, a modern Brian Clough without the bad habits!

[3ng0w]

go on villa again tomorow fakin do em'

[MrRossdg]

fucking brilliant, top bloke!

[ThePompeyboy12]

ABSOLUTE LEGEND 

[bradleysparent]

the FA will not let him he has exposed them too much

[cannockwolf1992]

Sack that Italian prat and give Ollie the job. Imagine if Rooney and Terry played like they did at the World Cup under Ollie...

[MelCLIPS]

This man is a credit to Football in whole!

[mckerveylegend]

Holloway is a legend. Shame there isn't more managers like him..

[Ksent]

He's 100% right. FA up and their absolute bullshit rules in full effect

[gaz8100]

what a guy!

[Footballtekkers]

This is proof that premier league don't know anything about the management of football. If its a 25 man squad and your a club like Blackpool you cannot distinguish between a weaker and stronger squad the premier league only assume its a weaker squad because they are players who are not always consistently played ..... ridiculous Blackpool are a TEAM

[MoNoodlez]

Blackpool have just been fined for it, absolutely stupid, what's the point in a 25 man squad if you can't give the players that are not in the usual starting 11 a chance to play?

[FTWSquat]

Absolute outrage that Blackpool got fined 25 grand for this. PL have lost their minds

[CBH97100]

You tell em ollie.

[DriftK13]

I really love this guy, and i'm a man utd fan btw. I expect his side to end this annoying unbeaten thing. I want people to stop going on about it, look how many draws we've had! It's bollocks!

If West Ham drew every game this season they'd be undefeated, but it wouldn't be a talking matter, why should it be any different for us?

Backing the dude who said Holloway for England. The exact man we need!

[macca4610]

if every manager was like him we wouldnt have blatter and platini telling us what to do we would start are own league

[silentbob82]

Ian Holloway is a great, great man!

[d0nkeytr0n]

fucking legend....wish more managers would be so forthcoming with their views on that fat twat Blatter and that pompous French cunt Platini

[peepfromsheff]

what a legend 

[kelso120]

brilliant

[bowden7]

2:42 pwned

[Mirren81]

Holloway is the purest fooballing man left in this crazy world of modern day footie

[zenyricardo]

Blackpool 2 - Liverpool 1. I think the premier league should just listen to him

[weatherallc05]

get the fucking advert off you prick

[weatherallc05]

holloway and any manager can pick any team they want! they lost narrowly, so fuck off you daft journalists. They dont manage the clubs, and as ron atkinson said " you can sit their with your silly machines, if i dont think they are doing enough ill whip em." they could have kicked villas ass

[weatherallc05]

just say what you think, he makes it easy

[amir07791]

Ian Holloway is my hero.

[darrenblueboy78]

got to admit been a chelsea fan, i like holloway think he might just have over taken the special one for interviews

[WaunGronChampion]

It's his accent that makes him that little bit better

[eskiboy93]

Football without Holloway would be madness!!

I love this guy :')

[heyburt]

EVER BEEN ON.

[m4yh3m121]

did he have to pay the fine? i cant find anything online about it

[STFCxCrispy]

@m4yh3m121 No.

[tomtomx4]

ahh for fuck sakes if you are legally registered to a fucking football club the manager of that football club can pick you..ITS THAT FUCKING SIMPLE!

[fraddstar]

Im a big fan of the premier league, before this season i didnt know who Ian Holloway was or anything about Blackpool. This bloke is a champion, passionate so unbeleviably proud of his players and his club. Great for football, need to see more of it. Hes absolutely right, hes the manager he picks his squad plain and simple.

[Jerwinator]

@jomtiem. Fair enough, but thats because they don't take him seriously. They probably think of him as a comedian more than blackpool manager. Ian holloway knows what he's doing. Believe it or not. He did the right things and said the right things there.

[jomtiem]

@Jerwinator; Not sayin i disagree with holls in anyway....contrary to what my post said...I AGREE with almost everything he says!...i love listenin to him & he's a breath of fresh air!...i think the reason they dont always take him seriously is cos even when he's angry he's funny lol.....the press know it & they know how to play him.....thats the reason he would never get an international job, no one takes him seriously....i love the man tho....

[jomtiem]

as much as i love ian holloway you gotta say the reporter was clever, he knew he'd get that reaction & ian duly obliged!...he is a journalists 'dream ticket' cos they know they can get a reaction from him....

[MrDanj27]

absolute legend

[Jerwinator]

Not many people take this guy seriously. They need to learn to.

[villafan365]

ive never known a manager speak their point of view more since ron atkinson

[spunkbobstainpants]

Straight talking and to the point hes a legend

[akz247365]

Proper mucker type e is!!

[andymiagis]

tosser

[pukkalife]

Our man, MR POOL. tell em OLLY [UTMP] .

What a f@king geezer.

[stevestorey7]

one person is platini

[Mahonyalan]

i fucking love ian holloway

[cdbils001]

holloway is a legend just head his interview about the world cup

[rickymalin]

Ian is an absolute legend and is 100% right in all he says. I hope all other Managers step up and follow him.

[Konartwist]

A real manager

[argylelei]

ABSOLUTELY spot on he is, theres no official weakened side its noones business to say one player is officially better than another, what good is a squad if you cant use it,

[Sandler41882]

If you pay the player's wages, you should be allowed to pick who you like. If they belong to Blackpool Football Club, they should be eligible to play. I don't care if the team has a combined 0 appearances, if they're paid by the club, they're eligible to play.

[lebyuk]

what a man! they should have beaten villa aswel

[rikmiesta1]

27000 euros???? Where do u get that figure from??? Did u not listen to the interview or watch the game??? We deserved to win... Ask any villa fan!!! That was not a weakened team u pleb!! Ian holloway u are a legend! Keep doing wat ur doing!! Hat off to ya! Wat a guy!

[micka20085]

he should of being fined 27,000 euro for wat he did . he fielded a weaking team .

[v3mol]

@micka20085 no that is the wrong amount it's £ 7.48 fine..........

[magrev69]

the guys an arsehole

[inghamunitedfc]

hes soo right

[foxthequaker]

good on olli

[saifoom]

love you man



[alun9655]

IAN IAN IAN!!!

[TRFCPAUL]

LEGANNDDDDDDD !!!!!!!!!!!

[babesyboy]

Amazing ray of sunshine with all the other dull managers out there avram i'm a boring cunt grant is just 1 of them

[hoggy10121]

well sed prow

[thebigem455]

I just came

[Anddos25]

he is a nutcase

[McCann26197]

PNE PNE PNE

WERE THE ONE AND ONLY NORTH END

YOUR THE PUFFS DOWN BLACKPOOL ROAD

TANGERINE TANGERINE YOUR MANAGERS A BEAN

[philipo4]

@McCann26197 Prem?

[Kolgox]

How did they nearly beat Villa? =S

[ProjectArmani]

@Kolgox 3-2? as he said it should of been 2-2. so shush ur mush

[griniek]

Saying what other managers won't, he is awesome!

[dadge35]

@griniek He's the Frankie Boyle of football. He says what everyone else is thinking hehehe. He's a legend.

[ablair37]

@griniek if and when i become a manager ill be like holloway funny and direct to the point

reporter: how do u feel about man uniteds last minuet winner

me: im sorry they were sporny twats as always another 90 plus how ever many minuet goal as always

[givemethebill]

EPL needs Mourinho ... EPL needs Ian Holloway, "My wife's waiting for me and you ask the same stupid question over and over again" HAHA !!

[James1927champion]

why didn't they show this interview on match of the day?! they edited all this out and put in the boring bits

[dermocoolioo]

Sounds like Hot Fuzz

[MrBaggies4lyf]

each rant he's madehas been spot on. The rooney saga was stupid and if he gets punished for picking a weakened side ill be worried, the fa should have no role to play on which team is picked unless they are fielding a player that is banned or not registered!

[milklollipop]

My new role model

[iAmTommarse]

HOLLOWAY FOR ENGLAND!!!

[spunkbobstainpants]

@iAmTommarse for passion alone he deserves the job

[vdv00rt]

@iAmTommarse I say Holloway for FIFA!!! Let him turn things upside down and stop the madness. He is just the best...

Greetings from Holland.

[roseisonfire]

i love holloway

[ozza33]

Its complete double standards from the Premier League, Man Utd and Liverpool can play a second string team and its all fine, while if anyone else does it, it is seen as terrible, and throwing in the towel. Its not like Blackpool were even battered, they narrowly lost to a last minute goal and played brilliantly. I would much rather watch them, then boring Man City who barely ventured over the halfway line against Man Utd.

[bravo931]

what a fucking legend.

[CunzyKid]

I wud luv 2 c him @ lfc

[nirvan5a]

i would love to see him at liverpool.

[bhatth]

he wouldnt go to liverpool, wouldnt wanna waste his time

[dalg7ish]

Yeah just like most on here im loving Holloway's work at the moment. Some things need to be said and sometimes radical actions are required. I was gutted when i heard about the 10 changes as i had gone for Blackpool away to lengthen the odds on my accumulator and my god they could have actually won in the end!

[joshie1350]

Ian holloway is an absoloute LEGEND

[JamesRofl]

I have no interest nor do I care about Blackpool FC, but this guy is fucking wonderful. More people in football need the same level of passion.

[DCTheGuitarist]

I love this guy, but do find he rants funny

Next England Manger please

[SickPuppyBeatz]

This man is Clough reincarnated literally.

[guinnesss2003]

My wife's waiting for me....more people should speak out.  Good man!

[theblacktippingpoint]

i dont blame him for being angry. its also an insult because his team did well against villa.

[RedNebulaProductions]

Blackpool can suck a big black old man's penile erection. It tastes like 2p machines and a failed eiffel tower, and other amusements etc.

[TheKamran522]

Epic!

[Towens182]

This is going to sound really stupid but what the hell, how can the premier league fine Ian Holloway for making 10 changes? It's the only piece of information missing from this story in my head. It makes no sense otherwise. Every website I've checked just explains that he could be fined, it doesn't say why. Help anyone!?

[dannymin]

@1980slh

Get a grip you cunt holloway is class need more managers like him and I bet bpool stay up this year west ham are defo relegated u wank!!!

[jellis4465]

Dobby the house elf speaks again.

[ajb261182]

Holloway for p m!! stand up for this country like u do blackpool, good man

[andys2k10]

Hero

[ktaxi21]

In fairness to Ian he is probably right but does this bring back memories of a Kevin Keegan rant?

[1980slh]

he is like a big baby jeez grow up man you aint gonna beat west ham anyways.and you will get the sack before end of the season relagation 110% worst manger on the planet gobby little cunt needs good slap........

[scooterok1]

@1980slh your a twat?

[NCFCPaul]

@1980slh u really are a tosser.

[markybeardmore]

he has got a hell of a passion :L

[mattyEFCwalsh]

He's right he can pick who he wants but, let's be honest if more managers did this (weaker side) thing then the games wouldn't be as good and we would be second to the superstars in la liga. We have to treat every game as a final and set out only to win!!!!

[twoSmexy]

best manager ever

[SuperKopDude]

Good on you Ollie, tell them what we all think of them. Wish there was more managers out there who had the balls to do that, what a 100% pure genius. This man deserves RESPECT!!!!!!!!!

[paliodicanio]

Proper manager, Proper human being. Could teach a lot of people in authority a lot of things.

[llpalm08]

Ledgend, he is totally correct, the premier league has too many stupid rules, the football league allow managers to do what the hell they like with their teams as they are the managers, and if the prem do fine Blackpool for playing a "weaker side" which they werent as they almost got something from the match, then they have denied football probably one of the best managers out there.

[ThePhilmiller]

this bloke is great, best bit was him walking away from argyle lol, he has always spoken his mind, there should be more like him in football

[Jayedwards1985]

Liverpool fan here in absolute shock that a man can be so right! This guy is exactly what every country needs! He is a superstar and speaks his mind, some people should take note!

[TheBlinkMIDF]

it might be funny to most of you

but he is 100% right

todays football is stupid and all about money...

we say we should move on from the past, but in football, the past is the better future

its HIS team, its HIS right to play HIS players , and not the FA's right to fine him

[rowangavin]

and everything he says is spot on

he is not arrogant he is not wrong

he is just brilliant

[geraldini1]

i wish ian would calm down a bit

dont mind the press ian they know you are one of the best managers

the more you get annoyed the press loves all this as it makes news

ian you are such a great manager and blackpool deserve to stay in the premership

whatever they do to you just put up with it and just dont resign because some day you could win the premership

[BallerForrLifee]

His a legend but took villa too softly, villa are world class.
