Title: 0% Villa. Golloway: still calling the shots?
Post by: Mister E on February 01, 2011, 09:08:52 AM
So, who's laughing now?
He failed to make his cut on an Adam transfer and has a v disgruntled player on his hands. Does anyone else think that this could be the moment Blackpool checked out of the Premiership?
It seems bizarre to me that they turned down £10m for a good but not particularly mobile or long-term prospect.
Put Bradley on him at  Bloomfield Road and he will not have any influence in the game against us.

They accepted 7 from Spurs, so not sure Liverpool ever got up to 10 for him.

That accepting of £7m is according to Honest Harry.

I fucking hope so.
I was all for Blackpool until that clown insulted our club.

May not be the same player after this, could do a 'yorkie' and look disinterested, Blackpool have looked so amateurish in all this and I agree they will really struggle to get up to 40 points as I believe so will Newcastle.

Can't imagine Liverpool would up the bid from £6.5 m to £10m , I think that's wishful thinking, and I'd see the figure that spurs said was accepted of £7m far more likely to be true.

If holloway can fashion a premier league striker from James Beattie, he deserves to stay up and good luck to him. But I do wonder what effect the Adam saga will have on their morale.

Beattie failed miserably at Rangers and looked poor in his last year at Stoke, so god knows how Holloway thinks he's going to get him playing for Blackpool.

I heard it was £6.5m they accepted, but whatebver it was they DID accept it and it makes him look like (more of) a twat after all his 'stick a 1 infront of it' bullshit.

They're on a terrible run of form and have just signed James Beattie to try and score them out of trouble.

I think they'll plummet down the league

I find that if I wish a club well, they tend to go to rat shit. So I wish them well *concerned face emoticon*

Adam(s) staying is a boost if he shows the right attitude. I would like Blackpool to stay up but if they have to go down for the manager to get the shove, then so be it.

It is nice that holloway didn't get is cut of any transfer fee, let's watch them plummet down the table now.

I read somewhere this morning (can't find it now) that quoted Adam as saying he will carry on giving his best to keep Blackpool in the PL.  Seems pretty much in character given the way he's played in spite of having to take the club to court (?) to get his pay/image rights/loyalty bonus last year.  Also he needs to keep himself in the shop window knowing that a 'proper' (Liverpool/Spurs) or half-arsed (us) club will be back for him in the summer.  I think he'll be the difference between them staying up rather than fighting relegation

Did anyone here him on Talkshite this morning?  Snippet of an interview as they were rounding up the transfer activity and he described Andy Reid a, and I quote, a 'little dinky doo player'.

Even Brazil was taking the piss out of him for that one.

The chairman said that he was on a bigger bonus top keep them up than any cut of any transfer.

It does look to me that Blackpool could be following the exact model of Hull City. May survive this season on the basis of points in the bag but already starting to slide and almost certain to go down next season.

Entitled to their afternoon in the sun I guess, just a pity their manager is such a twat.

The one problem with Adam still being there is he'll be able to play against us in a couple of weeks.

Holloway will have woken up this morning and felt fucking great that he managed to hold onto Adam for the second half of the season? They have a much, much better chance of avoiding relegation with Adam in the team.

Andy Reid is hoping Blackpool fans will lay off him and not sing about his weight.

Fat chants.

Stick someone on him and he'll fade into anonymity for the game. Let him 'run' free and he'll be an influence.

My guess is that Reid was bought to do the job that Adam had been doing: spraying the ball from centre midfield and taking free kicks. With the Adam deal floundering, Golloway has two large midfield playmakers in the squad to accommodate ...

I kind of admire Holloway for sticking to his guns and not selling his best player when a bigger club came calling, like MON did with Barry and Liverpool. Unlike MON who by and large kept a diginfied silence, Holloway constant daily sniping just got on peoples nerves.
