Holloway: 'Premier League has never helped me'

The Jakarta Post | Mon, 05/23/2011 8:41 AM | Sports

 Ian Holloway accused the Premier League of undermining Blackpool's attempts to stay in England's top division after his club was relegated.

Holloway said "the fat lady has finished singing and I do not like the tune" after Blackpool's 4-2 defeat at champion Manchester United on Sunday, adding that the Premier League "have never helped me."

Holloway was angry because he was forced to tell players by the third Saturday in May whether options on their contracts were being taken up. In the instances of Richard Kingson, Marlon Harewood and Brett Ormerod, the answer was no.

Others - Ian Evatt and Keith Southern - are being retained but condemned to vastly reduced terms due to Blackpool's relegation to the League Championship.
