sdewsna Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I live in Bath, been out of sheffield for 20 years but still a MASSIVE fan. I work in London and when I got of the train back to Bath I was stood next to non other than Ian Holloway in the taxi queue. Having had a couple of Christmas jars before leaving work I plucked up the courage to give him a nudge and say 'There is a great job going in Sheffield'. He smiled and said 'I know there is'. Asked him if he was interested and the response was something like 'of course I am'. Asked him if there was any issue with Milan and he just said 'I got a lot wrong when I worked with him before'. At that time the taxi queue was getting shorter, just said, check out owlstalk and you'll see that you would be a popular choice. He shook my hand and said thanks, got in the cab and gave me a wave and was gone. Got to say out of anyone available he has always been my first choice. Not sure what went on at Leicester but Milan pick up the phone and make it happen!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Errol Flashman Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 He was talking to Ian Holloway to be fair. He might well have thought ‘sdewsna’ was a weirdo. But when the Club aren’t doing owt sometimes other folks have to step in and take a chance, even if they might look a fruit loop. Fair play I say . Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdewsna Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 I don't look like a fruit loop, honest. :) Got to say it was a bit bizarre, but the couple of jars gave me the courage. Got to say top bloke always thought he was up for a laugh after he once made an ability about signing players was like pulling birds in a club whilst managing Bristol City. Not arrogant and all and seemed to enjoy the chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spender Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Not a chance. He's going to West Brom or Spurs. Both clubs are fighting for him or Zola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
