Haunted football club, wife performing exorcism.

Ian Holloway, a former Premier League manager, has finally returned to the world of football management after a nearly four-year hiatus. His new team, Swindon Town, has been struggling lately and he hopes to turn their luck around. However, upon his arrival, he has been met with some strange occurrences that have led him to believe that the club is haunted.

Despite the team's recent turnaround in form, Holloway is still concerned about the curse that seems to be plaguing the club. He has asked his wife to come in and cleanse the training ground with sage, as she is knowledgeable in these types of rituals. Holloway is convinced that there is a graveyard nearby and that the training ground was built on an ancient burial site.

His belief in the curse has only been strengthened by the string of injuries that have plagued his players, with the latest victim being Ollie Clarke who is now out for a month with an ankle injury. Holloway is determined to lift the curse and bring some good luck to the team. He even mentioned legendary manager Don Revie, who famously had an exorcism performed on Elland Road to lift a gypsy's curse.

Holloway's superstitions may seem eccentric to some, but he is not the first manager to believe in curses and bad luck. Barry Fry, former manager of Birmingham, once reportedly urinated on all four corners of the St. Andrews pitch in order to ward off evil spirits. However, Holloway is not willing to take such drastic measures and has instead turned to his wife and her knowledge of sage cleansing rituals.

While he is not entirely sure if he believes in the curse himself, Holloway is willing to try anything to help his team. He has even performed some rituals himself, including the "hail and welcome" chant. Holloway is hopeful that his wife's cleansing will bring some good luck to the team and help them climb out of the relegation zone.

Only time will tell if the curse will be lifted and if the cleansing will have any effect on the team's performance. For now, Holloway and his team are focused on their next game against relegation rivals Morecambe. As they continue to work hard on the pitch, Holloway will also be working to lift the curse and bring some much-needed luck to Swindon Town.
