Not sure when it is but I hope he is successful, Cant see it myself though. The FA force you to name a squad then have the audacity to tell you which of those players can play, What the **** ???
I disagree with the decision, but i'm not particularly bothered because it is against Holloway. When journalists asked him after the game whether he was worried about getting disciplined like Wolves, he threatened to pour hot drinks over them. He is just a massive Hypocrite.
Thought the definaition of manage is to manage with out outside interference.Arsenal seem to avoid this in the cup games .Do you have to retain the same players for the next game then? Wolves got done not sure why Blackpool proceeded to go ahead and field that team even though those players are squad members.
Your right Gawge, I'm not his biggest fan but a squad is a squad, What next will they want you to name your starting 11 before the first game of the season ?
I completely agree that it is a ridiculous decision, you should be able to play whoever you want, let alone anybody from your squad of 25.
Except it's the PL not the FA. I'd appeal it on the grounds that it's effectively 3rd party involvement in team selection.
I disagree entirely with anyone other than a teams football manager deciding which is his best team on the day. That said, Holloway said he would resign if this happened. I hope Blackpool appeal and win to establish the principle of managers choice. If they appeal and lose and Holloway does not resign he will go down in my estimation. Surely he wouldn't let a small thing such a large cut of the Charlie Adam transfer get in the way of his principles.
Love the fact that the PL believe they know who is best to play at any given time surely all managers are just out of a job then as the PL could run every PL club
Again, PL not the FA. Can we at least blame the right set of incompetent buffoons for each ridiculous decision they make?
Next they'll say we have to name an 18 man squad with an extra 7 players that can only be used in the case of an injury or suspension
