theowlsman Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I wrote to the Chairman asking for Rhodes, and we got him, I wrote to the Chairman suggesting it was time for Carlos to leave, and he went, and this time I’ve written to Mr C asking for Ian Holloway. Ian has gone all giddy and is already mentioning needing another challenge. It transpires that he has always been a big Owls fan since his Sheffield-based Grandad took him as a kid to watch us play Port Vale. We put in a gritty, industrial, performance, and people were very kind to him, and he says he likes Sheffield and Sheffield Wednesday, and feels it was always his destiny to be here eventually. He says he can relate to us, understands what we’re all about. He’s ready for the challenge, and he’s already had our motto, Conlisio et Animis, tattooed on his shoulder (see below). Come on Ian, enough of this Ranieri and Villas Boas nonsense. Cometh the hour cometh the man. Get your flat caps ready boys, Ian wears his Grandad’s. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big personality, experienced in this league, knows how to get promoted from this league, good man-manager and motivator of players, loves the craic and banter, down to Earth, no heirs and graces about him, loves Wednesday, acknowledges our club as being a “proper football club”, astute in the transfer market. Gettable. Realistic. What’s there not to like about this one? It’s a no-brainer. Get on the phone to QPR. You know it makes sense Mr C.

Dronfield Blue Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Waits for Ian Holloway to appear on the betting odds very soon. I might have 25p each way on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stands there smiling, taking his cap off to them, before taking a bow. It didn’t ruffle him one bit. I like him too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davetherivelinowl Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Sorry but for me he's a one-hit wonder. Did great with Blackpool and has been living off that one success ever since. Had lots of opportunities to turn other clubs round but failed at all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll get far more support from Mr C when he gets here, er I mean, if he gets here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
