He wont be eligible to play
Good. But there's three more possibilities of the "ex player" syndrome

Bravado

Holloways quote now in context

really like Holloway and would love to see him at Tranmere , just watched his pre-match based off the comment above , night and day from Adkins, not interested in the slightest in us, focused only on his side and there jobs, haven't achieved anything yet must win games, more than hard work and effort needed etc etc.

Just looked it up - we last won three consecutive league games in September 2022 - didn't even do it in the boys of summer Flynn run!

We'll not get many better chances.

My only concern on the football side of things is the ease in which several fans seem to be happy to jump into bed with Hollowhead. I'm still not convinced - yes he may keep us up, which I'm sure that's a target some will be happy with.

And whilst it's no secret I can't warm to him, and probably never will. I can separate the fact that I {or anyone} don't need to like him, in order for him to do a good job. The same was often said with PdC, who had a polarising fanbase. I leant on the him-being-good-for-town side of things then. But he did famously state, when talking about his players ''you don't have to like me, but follow me {play how I want you to play} and together we will win.''

PdC was also just as much, if not more of a nutjob than Hollowhead. I think he was spoilt as a first time manager, due to being giving a fairly blank cheque. Had there been a bit more actual budgeting I think Town still would have succeeded with him in a more sustained way.

Back to IH, I'm still not convinced {yet}. It's my own opinion sure, and that may aggravate or grind differently with others but it's just an err on the side of caution that he could still be off end of season/during the summer. It might be that he does well, and fair play but let's not pretend he also isn't in the shop window too. Colour me negative {the irony} but whenever Town hit some kind of upward curve, it's seemingly followed by a very quick drop - a dead cat bounce, if we must.

Trying to be positive is tough when everything in the background is such a mess. I don't want people to get sucked into the whole ''well if we win matches then the club must be fine'', which is my fear. Town finish in the dizzy heights of 14th or something, the owner comes out and proclaims something ridiculous like ''see, I told you we could do it'' and equally IH comes out and fully backs his chairman ''Oy bleddy love im oy do, best charrman in the ole of the futball league. You fans *points finger at camera and grits teeth* don't know ow lukky you arrr to ave im''.

That kind of thing, gives me nightmares  Huh?

May require a pitch inspection. Heavy downfall. Not great. The new floor in the Legends is a marked improvement.

It’s more the sides of pitch. Lino tracks. It’s pretty soaked. Needs a fork down.

Put the long studs on him! Smiley

Hopefully it wont affect the game being on, at least wait until half time when we are losing and turn the floodlights off (one for the older fans).
