Here's a Guy who Doesn't Mind Getting His Hands Dirty, in the Lower League's Not afraid of taking on a Task the likes of Pep Guardiola Would Shy Away From. 5 Promotions as a Player and Manager/Coach, that's Impressive. Good Luck to the Guy, well until he plays the Magpies.

Yes, I'll be keeping an eye on this guy. I think it's a great move by Swindon to offer him an opportunity like this. 

He one of those home grown managers that don't get the credit they deserve. He's a very good coach & I expect Swindon to get much better under Holloway.

So long as it's not against Notts, but when we meet them it will be a tough game, & Notts will need to be at their very best.

Oh dear. Ian Holloway has achieved nothing for years. Swindon are circling the drain and are in serious trouble.

His Wikipedia page contains an entertaining account of the utter chaos during his most recent job at Grimsby Town, which culminated in their relegation to the National League. He's been unemployed in the three years since they sacked him, publicly stating that he's lost his appetite for football. Not very promising.

Well it seems the Swindon Owners are willing to take a Punt On Him. And his Absence from the Game, May have reignited his Passion for Football.
