Ian Holloway Leaves Crystal Palace, and We Explain What that Means

Ian Holloway

To many American eyes the Guardian headline, Ian Holloway leaves Crystal Palace by mutal consent after just a year”, reads as both inscrutable, and just a little bit magical.

But, as it turns out, it’s all terribly clear and mundane. Ian’s a football (or, if you will, soccer) coach, and Crystal Palace, a Premiere League football club (i.e., soccer team). And while American papers would likely forgo “mutual consent” in their headlines, we do trust our readers to know what that means.

Our British readers may be annoyed that we’re clarifying this, as the outspoken Ian’s actually quite well known, and has been for decades; first as a player, and then as a manager. This would be why Ian’s currently trending, for this story, worldwide on Twitter. Still, both they and those unfamiliar would be doing themselves all favors by clicking Ian’s highlighted name above, and checking out his PeekYou profile.
