    Slightly confusing, no?

    Surely Blackpool have a better squad, plus they were sitting top of the league at the start for a bit. I know that Palace are like 6 places above right now, but I'd still say Blackpool had much, much better players at the moment.

    Do they have money or something?

    I'm just really confused. Laughing

    It's a sideways step if anything.

    Karl Oyston is a massive bellpiece. That's why.

    Palace only actually have like 2 decent players. Laughing

    Murray (not even that good) and Zaha, who won't even be their by the end of January or the summer.

    Blackpool are better in every department.

    Who do you reckon Blackpool will appoint to replace him? Billy Davies?

    You've really shown how little you know about the Championship.

    Moving to Palace is at least a sideways step, but I'd argue it's a step up. Good youth system, good fans, financially secure now.

    We all know Blackpool's chairman is tight with the money, he also refuses to deal with agents IIRC.

    Squad wise they are both equal, club wise I'd say Palace is bigger and more ambitious.

    He was also probably feeling a bit stagnant at Blackpool

    I think Holloway can get them into the Premier League this season.

    January will be a big month, they need to keep Zaha and that other lad of theirs.

    Although It would be tempting to say no if offers in excess of £8m will be offered.
