Summary
“Sacked in the morning? Don’t think so.”
Ian Holloway has so many famous one-liners that there are two entire books just of his quotes. But there’s more to him than those soundbites.
Kate sits down with the former Crystal Palace, QPR and Blackpool manager to discuss how he’s brought up three deaf children, how that’s informed his management in incredible ways, and his view of the chaotic relegation scrap this season!
