I'd like to say that I hope it works out for him, but seeing how their fans taunted us over our relegation to the NL at their ground it would be sweet karma if they endured the same fate. They probably will do enough to pull away before the business end of the season however.
I'm with you on this regarding Holloway and Karma. I remember too well how some of their fans were gloating at our misfortune. Perhaps that's why they've gone down the experience route with the appointment of Holloway and with the January transfer window in a couple of months opening there is plenty of time for him to steer them away from danger.

As ourselves and Oldham found out just because a club has played at the highest level it doesn't make it immune to dropping out of the football league.
