    what is it with these fa's and sfa's bunch of bell ends with too much power, blackpool were unlucky as well against villa, well if they are going to fine blackpool the money should be going back to the fans and not to swell the fa's coffers..

    Yes he rested players but look at Arsenal dropping points in a title charge against Wigan after changing 8 players from the week before, they also should be punished for fielding there 'reserves' or doesnt that matter cause theyr reserves are still all top quality! The fans also havent moaned or complained about it as it was a close game and the team played no different to the way the '1st 11' did the week before. Cant go fining one team for something and not another. 25 player squads are allowed to be used within the entire season when the manager sees fit, and Ian Holloway wants to see Blackpool do aswell as they can, so thers is in no way he set out for them to lose the game!

    Where is the consistency, Arsenal should be punished in League cup then by this logic, oh but wait, theyre arsenal with a great squad that nearly as good as their first choice, so lets punich other teams that don't have the luxury of that.

    It's a disgrace that he's been fined for that. It was the same with Mick.

    Managers should be able to pick whatever players they want from their 25 man squad or else what is the point. :rolleyes:
