Ollie ole ole ole

While gutted for Tony Parkes, the journalist in me is delighted that the new Blackpool manager is Ian Holloway. A dream of a person to interview and a man who adds so much colour to football.

The first time I ever covered a match from the press box was Holloway's QPR at Leeds a few years ago for London paper, The Ealing Times.

QPR had lost 2-0 but included six loanees. When asked for his opinion of his side's performance, Holloway replied "I'm proud of my Queens Park Strangers".

Welcome back Ollie!
