Blackpool to be investigated.

by blackskar Fri Nov 12, 2010 12:44 am

The Premier League has confirmed it is investigating Blackpool boss Ian Holloway's decision to make 10 changes to his side.

Holloway fielded an almost completely remodelled starting line-up for Wednesday night's 3-2 defeat at Aston Villa ahead of the newly-promoted Seasiders' clash with bottom club West Ham at the weekend.

It is understood the Premier League will write to Blackpool later this week before deciding on a course of action.

A precedent was set by the league last year when Wolves were hit with a suspended £25,000 fine after manager Mick McCarthy made 10 changes to his side to face Manchester United.

However, while McCarthy admitted he made the alterations in order to give his side the best chance of defeating Burnley in the following fixture, Holloway insisted his team had not been weakened and that he had no choice because of the club's packed programme.

When questioned after the Villa clash over what he would do if the Premier League imposes the same penalty on his club, an irate Holloway said: "I'd pack in. I can't work for this madness. I would resign. They do not know what they're talking about."

Blackpool's encounter with Villa was preceded by visits from West Brom and Everton last Monday and on Saturday respectively.

Wednesday's match will be followed by their trip to the capital on Saturday, when they face the struggling Hammers.

What a joke. 10 changes and he still took Aston Villa to the last few seconds.

This! The PL are basically saying the players he fielded yesterday arn't as good - discrimination that. I would investigate the FA, twats.

He should just say, I have a squad with players I all trust, otherwise they wouldn't be in my squad, I should be able to use them as I wish, to do the best possible thing for my club, what can they argue with that?

Why would he do it? Is there a cup game coming up? If not then this is bang out of order.

Truthfully, if this was just down to Holloway, with no other fixture in mind, the players should put a complaint in.

There is no way to actually rate one player higher than another, it's always down to opinion. That opinion being aired by the league is embarrassing for the players. I would sue for damages.

Why not?

Maybe he wanted fresh players who could go out and prove themselves?

They had it 2-2 away to Villa until the last minute.

Exactly! It's hardly Blackpool rolled over, they nearlly got a decent result. FA is a joke. Would this be done if Blackpool won? Don't think so.

Also, would it be done if Arsenal done it, or Chelsea, or us?

No.

We could put 10 changes out if we had a big CL game and nothing would happen, because we have a class squad, maybe Holloway believes in his squad?

I hope he has a rant. Neutral

Why are the lower teams getting targeted by this stupid rule?

No one else knows what Blackpool's best starting 11 is apart from Holloway himself, he's the one who trains and watches them play so if he changes from his "usual" starting team to another one, it's probably for a good reason.

Honestly, when did this rule come about? It seems to have just popped up out of nowhere recently.

You misunderstood me.

I'm trying to find the FA's reasoning for investigating this. I don't care that he done it.

and Kyro, your probably right there aswell. If Arsenal or United changed 10 players in a match, they wouldn't get investigated. :evil:
FA is such a joke.

IIRC Wolves didnt get fined last year for what they did vs. United, doubt B'Pool will be fined as well.

He's one of the few managers who can go on a rant without seeming like a whiney little bitch.

If this happens then Football manager will be a joke.

I know it 'isn't' the right thing for me to do but ima do it anyway.

Says you have Wolves on a saturday and Barcalona away in the week, you will rest players, no?

This is an absolute disgrace and the FA REALLY need to fuck off.

Unless you are in the big 4.

If he'd have got his ass kicked then fair enough (to an extent) but the fact he still managed to give Villa a run for their money with a newly promoted team that was touted for a Derby style relegation it's a joke.

I sort of know Ian Holloway personally (sort of, well barely really). My younger brother is deaf and he goes to Mary Hare School for the Deaf, where Ian Holloway's two deaf Daughters sometimes visit, and are friends with people from the school. They also were going to board there, but decided against it. I've been out with them a few times, they're nice girls and through that, I've met their Dad several times.

Not that it's of any significance lol ..
