Go away Golloway

[PeterWithe]

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway has repeated his verbal attack on Aston Villa manager Gerard Houllier over making public his interest in signing midfielder Charlie Adam.

The Tangerines have already rejected bids for £2.5 and £3.5 million from Villa for Adam.

But Holloway has the "raving hump" that Houllier has spoken about Adam, who has 18 months remaining of his current deal.

And he insisted Adam will not be sold to Villa.

Holloway was speaking after his side were beaten 3-2 at West Brom via a last-gasp goal from Peter Odemwingie - his second of the game.

He said: "You've got every right to ask me the question, but Mr Houllier should not talk about someone else's player when he hasn't put up enough money to buy him.

"Will I honestly sell him (Adam) to Aston Villa? The answer is no because I am managing his career.

"I've told him where I think he's good enough to go and again today I think he's hit the best pass I've ever seen in my life.

"If there's anybody in the Premier League who can hit a pass like that, how much are they worth?

"So don't insult me by talking about my players.

Holloway is fast become our newest bloke to hate. What a wanker.

[pauliewalnuts]

Everyone on here seems to have turned against him because he's said something anti-villa. That apart I still think he's good value. His team is also doing it the passing way rather than the Allerdyce way. A degree of respect to them I think.

Last week: "Boo hoo, the Southampton fans sang 'Premier League you're having a laugh' at my team, how disrespectful"

Today: "Aston Villa are a half arsed club who were famous once and have a manager on a sticky wicket". So that's obviously a different kind of disrespectful.

Fuck off, Holloway, you tedious hypocrite.

Would Ian like to tell us all where these quotes are?  Must admit I'm completely non-plussed as to what he's getting his knickers in a twist about.  has Houllier said anything at all about Adam?

Yes, he said in his press conference that the club had made an offer to Blackpool for the player and are waiting to hear back. He said that we'd done it the right way, and made no comment beyond that. We've kept everything above board here. What I see is a desperate man shouting as loud as he can but ultimately to no avail. The next thing will be is where he threatens to quit if they sell Adam to us. I will chuckle.

[PeterWithe]

I think he's a little to eager to please his new mates in the media who have never given him half a glance in the past, the thing is 'Hollers', or whatever wanky nickname they are about to bestow on you, they will return to not giving a shit just as soon as your team inevitably returns to being fuck all.

If memory serves me right. Didn't Coventry make similar noises before we signed Dublin. He's desperate to get a bidding war going. He does engage the mouth before the brain.

[hawkeye]

I do not condone GH mentioning that he has made a bid, we get pissed off when other managers talk about our players.

But that was only to confirm to a journo that we'd made a bid, hardly on the lines of the Redknapp type of tapping up.

[Monty]

Holloway actually confirmed we'd made a bid first. Then, because it wasn't enough, decides to insult our entire club. He can fuck off back to his hovel and stay there.

[The Situation]

Haha get stuffed Ian Holloway you bitter, dumb man. You've made yourself look so small time and I can't imagine what Charlie Adam now thinks of your immature outburst.

[PeterWithe]

I wasn't arsed one way or the other about signing Adam but I hope we do now just to piss Holloway off.

That's the thing. If he hadn't said anything then there would have been no questions for GH to answer. Holloway and Barry Fry must be sharing notes.

[hawkeye]

Sorry if Holloway went early. if thats the case then he is obviously taking his moments in the spot light to seriously, wanker

[ozzjim]

Holloway talked first, then GH was asked and said he likes him but has not had a response through official channels. Would love Randy to offer Oysten? 5million and get it accepted.


Also - how arrogant can a manager be - I manage his career? If I was Adam I would be saying no you fecking don't you golum resembling gobshite, get back in you box and feck right off. I would have a transfer request in tonight.
