potato - you're never too far from the sack and everyone is constantly chipping away at you.
It's not for the faint-hearted and unless you've got skin as thick as rhino and  more
importantly  a wicked sense of humour  you've no chance of surviving.Ian Holloway - aka 'Ollie'
- has all the above and more besides. His press conferences are the stuff of legend. He's been
there  seen it and done it in his 40 years as player and manager  and has been entertaining
football fans on and off the pitch for most of his life. He's been head honcho at clubs in all
four divisions in English football  experiencing everything from the giddy heights of taking
Blackpool to the Premier League to fighting relegation from the Football League with Grimsby
Town. There's never been a dull moment.In the joyful How to Be a Football Manager  Holloway
weaves a fantastically rich tapestry of hilarious anecdotes to reveal what being the boss is
really like. This is not a handbook to tell you when to play a Christmas tree formation or
throw on a false nine - it's about dealing with the ridiculous  fighting your corner and always
having a comeback.
