No they aren't, obviously, that's why they've been fined.

How'd you work that out?

It's simple isn't it? If they were free to use whatever players they liked they wouldn't have been fined.

Than what is the point of the 25 registered players rule then?
Maybe English FA is nearly as dumb as Polish FA.

The point of the 25 players rule is to reduce wage bills. The FA have nothing to do with this.

Don't think he'll quit though.

they fined Wolves. they had to fine B'pool! ridiculous rule though.

They should have fined Wolves either.

It's practically telling the players, "you're not good enough, you can't play"

i agree. where is Arsenals fine for the 8 changes v Wigan?

the PL wont wanna upset the big teams though. they can do what they want!

Stipulation 2.6.44.5.314 in the rulebook. Do not fine the big four teams, in fear that they'll leave to make a break away European Super League.

It's right there!

Also, I wish people would shut their fucking faces about the 25 man squad rule, it's irrelevant. Even if it was relevant to the weakened team rule, they used someone from outside the 25 man squad in that game.

one rule for some, another rule for everyone else!

Wolves & B'pool can't make changes. Arsenal can!

how can the FA have nothing to do with it? it's an FA imposed rule!

the point of the rule is not to lower the wage bill, but to prevent the top teams stockpiling talent!

found it. right under - referees, if in doubt of the correct decision always favour the more glamorous club.

This is ridiculous.

Managers should be able to play whoever they want.
Who are others to say the he is fielding a "weaker" team?

Holloway should quit after what he said earlier though. He should be a man of his word.

Don't think he will quit, and if he doesn't I wont think any less of him.. because people say things to prove how against something they are which he did, and just because these cunts have fined the club, I don't think he should.

No it isn't, it's a rule imposed by the Premier League clubs, for the Premier League clubs and on behalf of the clubs. Blackpool agreed to these rules when they jointed the Premier League.

If that was the point of the rule then the top teams wouldn't have agreed to it.

Okay its the Premier League's rule and not the FA's. but it's the FA Premier League isn't it? the 25 man squad rule was suggested at a Premier League meeting and the 20 chairman of the Premier League clubs voted in favour of the rule!

who's to say the big clubs did agree to it! the PL reputedly voted 14 - 6 against allowing the Old Firm teams into the English League system and a 2 tier PL. so there is a very real possibility that Man U, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and City all voted against the 25 man rule but there were enough votes to pass the ruling! ain't democracy great?

for the record it was widely reported that Man City voted in favour of the 25 man rule. do you really think City give a fuck about trimming their wage bill?

The 25 man rule was passed unanimously, Ricarhd Scudamore has explained the reasons behind it. Nobody forced Blackpool to play in the Premier League, if they don't like the rules they should fuck off.

it's a stupid rule though. we should do away with managers and let the PL pick the teams. who are they to say the team selection isn't good enough! fucking nazis!

This.

It's a shit rule, but it's still a rule nethertheless and Blackpool broke it. Deserve to be fined.

It has to be, or else Blackpool wouldn't have got fine for it. They're not going to fine clubs for the sake of it.

Actually, that is what they are doing Pip.

The Blackpool players that played that match must be gutted that the FA thought they were so shit they fined the club.

There are a number of honourable options Blackpool could have taken

a) Accept the rule, and don't break it
b) Don't accept the rule, and attempt to change it, Premier League clubs including Blackpool had the opportunity to do this in June. They chose not to.
c) Don't accept the rule, and refuse to participate in the Premier League

Of course, these aren't the only options available, there are others which are not particularly honourable or decent

d) Accept the rule, join the Premier League because of the financial benefits, break the rules, and accept the (very small) punishment with good grace

and then there's the option which Blackpool have chosen to take

e) Accept the rules, join the Premier League, take all the money that comes with joining the Premier League, break the rules anyway, then when you get punished for it, piss and whinge to all the newspapers, threaten to resign, complain about the rules, and be dishonest, all for the sake of £25,000 of the MILLIONS and MILLIONS of pounds they get from being in the competition.

If you don't like the rules, accept them, change them or fuck off, end of.

Disagree with that Mr Gola.

Yes, it is. Rule E.20 requires teams to field a full strength team.

fucking joke. The FA is a fucking joke.

The FA has nothing to do with this.

Top bloke, that Holloway. He tendered his resignation, but it was rejected by the owner.

Scuba Steve wrote:Top bloke, that Holloway. He tendered his resignation, but it was rejected by the owner.

Er...top bullshitter more like. He said he was going to resign, not 'tender his resignation', everybody knows the board wouldn't accept it.

Errr... it's not like he has gone back on his word (I'm going to retire -- no, I change my mind, I am not going to retire). The board didn't want him to resign, so he yielded to their wishes. Looking out for the best of the club. Nothing wrong with that.

But I agree with his assessment, he is no longer a manager. If he can't pick the team, then he isn't a manager.
