[nev]

Pool fined by Premier League

Club have 14 days to decide whether to appeal against penalty

Blackpool have confirmed that they have been fined £25,000 by the Premier League for fielding a weakened team against Aston Villa on 10th November.

The disciplinary action has been taken as it is deemed that manager Ian Holloway breached Premier League rules B.13 and E.20 by making 10 changes to his line-up.

A ruling board is said to have considered the team fielded by Holloway against West Ham on 13th November and in following matches when making the decision.

Absolutely ridiculous decision but will Holloway quit?

He wont quit until he gets his pay off from the adams sale he gets a cut,he is all talk no action but if he does up and leave credit to him.

I quiet like his call a spade a spade approach

His chairman has already given Holloway his full support so no he's not going anywhere. We all know Holloway is right....hopefully he won't see the red mist over this and wreck his very promising career.

I agree, told you he'd get punished though..

the FA made a rod for its own back with the 25 man ruling. you can't tell clubs to have a 'first team squad' and then fine them when they choose to use it to its maximum.

don't really buy the holloway as lovely bloke schtick either personally, think he's a bit of a self-promoting wannabe hiding behind this west country buffoon front.

Definitely agree with second sentiment. I think he has 'blown his gaff' over this issue.

I don't think that the requirement to name a 25 man squad is the same thing as giving clubs a carte blanche to pick a deliberately understrength team with the expectation of losing, particularly if the club then goes and throws it that in the face of the League, a la McCarthy. The League were right to punish McCarthy - the last thing the League wants from a spectacle viewpoint (= commercial self-interest viewpoint) is a series of no-contest games between top and bottom clubs. The issue is parallel to the 'Team Orders' issue in Formula 1 - sport survives as a paying proposition on unfettered competition.

I expect that Holloway will be able to convince the EPL that he did not pick a team with the object of not competing (I saw it on TV - good game - QED) and he will not be punished - rightly so, we all agree that here*. The pratt needs to shut his gob though - he's digging a hole for himself and his self-promotion will be hiss downfall if he's not careful.

Top brass pillocks do not like to be publicly challenged and they will ultimately seek their revenge on Holloway (for his 'I will resign' brinkmanship), but not on this issue would be my guess.

Edit * meant - we all agree hat he should not be punished (I think ..dangerous assertion)

can one assume,? that the3 villa ---- 3___2 blackpool, was nothing more than a grassy knoll conspiracy

Yes you did and I questioned that fact - so you were right and I was wrong.

The FA are a bunch of nonces.

[i have no idea what nonces are. but Carmine called me that on some other football thread when he wanted to convey similar feelings of disgust ]

[fredtitmus]

Football - the beautiful game ... often run by ugly pr@tts! But surely your headline is getting ahead of reality, Singhy? What's your source?

Not at all.

If you followed Football like i did Santi Suk, you'd know it already, but you don't so here you go..

Still all ifs and buts mate.

What's if's & but's ??

Honestly, what are you talkign about Santi Suk, honestly ??

What don't you understand about this ??

I'll try & make it as clear as possible if you tell me what you don't undersatand abotu the fact that Ian Holloway will quit if he gets found Guilty of fielding an understrength Team against Villa last week ??

he has actually said he would quit if its in the clubs best interest

I can only assume a Nonce means soemthing vastly different from where i'm from, & not in a good way, certainly not in a way to be banded about willy nilly as it seemingly is on here..

Certainly don't like the use of that word on the forum as abhorrent it is and unworthy and unneccessary here. It appears only too often on the news forum for anyone who needs an explanation....or wants to feel sick to their stomach.

Aye he's on a fair bonus for the deal....which seems to be on this evening.....happy days for Holloway it seems...win win all the way to the bank.

You can rest assured the majority of us don't throw around such insults without good reason.

He knows who he is...and anyway was only looking for a reaction.....but not the way to be going about it imo.

[MSingh]

...and anyway was only looking for a reaction.....

That makes it alright then i suppose..

You Spuds are priceless, priceless..
