Holloway launches bitter attack on Premier League chiefs | Manchester United 4-2 Blackpool 22/05/11

Holloway launches a bitter attack on Premier League chiefs following his sides relegation from the top flight of English football on Sunday with 4-2 defeat to Manchester United.

[@cartbagger808]

Wish the Premier League would have more managers like Holloway these days. So incredibly refreshing to see somebody who speaks their mind and have the utmost intregrity in doing so. Respect

[@the1andonlytitch]

It really was harsh the way Blackpool went down with Liverpool unsettling Adams and the bad decisions having to to get a result against Man Utd etc but in all honesty Holloway and Blackpool can be proud of the way the held their own in the Premier League

[@MrKingOthman]

I respect this guy a lot I hope one day he lands a top job with a big club.

[@forza1248]

I loved it when Blackpool were in the Premier League, at least they gave it a go unlike most teams who just defend. It was so entertaining to see him on MOTD every week as well as his press conferences mid week.

[@Scott.f]

Worst thing news papers showed if all referees had got more decisions right Blackpool would of stayed up easy was very hard to look at. Utd won far and square it was the London teams, thank god for var.

[@mickharrison9004]

Absolutely spot with that 💯

[@corstafine]

He'll never get a big job again. ..way too outspoken for the FA and premier league corruptors

[@duxberry1958]

what a guy you have my respect see you back in the PL in two years time ...

[@martinpye798]

Muckers....good lads!! From a Stoke fan.

[@matman16]

Really want Holloway back in the premier league. Gutted when I realised Blackpool didn't gain promotion this season. Please gain promotion next season! - From a Liverpool fan

[@JUSTINBARROW10]

Im a Blackburn fan and just wish that kean was like Holloway and really hope that Blackpool can win the play-offs and get back themselves back into the premiership and bounce back after being relegated last season which isn't a nice feeling. Wish them all the best!

[@joffey1212]

one of the few men in football with common sense

[@greenmanfly]

i miss you blackpool so boring having crappy clubs up to play against

[@reconnaisancesapper]

What he states about the state of the FA and English top flight soccer on the whole is very true. You are either one of the elite class in the Premiership or you are just another Joe propping up the rest. He get the worst deal any manager could get and one can only feel for him.

[@greenmanfly]

its just im a nufc fan but i loved there play style

[@kiogeorge9805]

Would love this dude at Cardiff City

[@ChrissCairns]

He is a legend, hope he gets up with Palace, but wish he stayed at Blackpool in truth.

[@nathancroucher90]

A true gentleman, I hope they win the Play-Offs.

[@toe2dakne]

Glad to have this man back in the EPL Hope to see him on MOTD :D

[@worralljack]

Sorry holloway not going to be as good after this transfer window we are going to be a lot stronger! barry ferguson, kevin phillips, matt phillips, tom ince and baptist all players which have been fantastic and with one or two more players we will go back up

[@SUFI252]

our castle was made out of sand but there's concrete underneath. Blackpool is gonna come back for sure. :)

[@lepinr]

This was funny at first...but quickly became depressing

[@hurleycapetown8420]

What a Gent.

[@Rsunited90]

Only united game iv'e ever wanted us to lose

[@netweed09]

He's right though. Now we have to watch West Brom and Norwich instead. Plus I think they can afford to make that sort of comment xD

[@iangreen171]

May have better luck this time with Crystal Palace. C'mon Ian.

[@spideybp]

i am a chelsea fan eh but blak pool rell play boi deh RELL PLAY dh took the game 2 man u i like their belif

[@cjrondo888]

TBH Blackpool didn't deserve to go up, not compared to the 3 that did, and their no-longer that "breath of fresh air" everyone's talking about, they got a fair bit of cash from their season in the premier league so they're one of the higher spending teams in the championship now.

[@ABM84133]

cjrondo888 west ham were literally the highest spending club in the league

[@benfro_outdoors]

Clueless moron

[@jacobs472]

and that cash was sadly spent for the wrong purposes by oyston and now look at us😔🤧

[@jamess-shaw5464]

well you should do with 15 million!

[@spideybp]

@hereistand2008 aye i from trinidad daz how we doe tk .......

[@hereistand2008]

@spideybp in that case i'm apologize

[@Simo2009BORO]

Truth is an amazing thing my friend either that or you are a troll!

[@1thatdeadrockstar]

1. how could you hear it echoing across the town if you were in the stadium ? 2. dirty nasty and shitty, pick one and stick with it son 3. It really doesnt matter at all if you think they deserve it, they won promotion, so they obviously did

[@Simo2009BORO]

Are you fucking joking mate? Holloway can gain promotion all he likes IDC if he does it with other clubs and if he is in the premier league then thats fine! But Blackpool do not deserve to be promoted because they play shitty nasty dirty football in a shithole of a stadium! Oh and all that crap about good atmosphere at bloomfield road? Been there! Its all bullshit! We were getting beat 3-0 there and all you could hear was the roar of our 2500 following echoing across the town!

[@petepieman]

Man utd fan , they where fuckin brilliant we where not happy when we won, our hands where tied fuckin shit . Come on blackpool come on back up we miss ya!!!

[@kevinproctor3578]

100 percent proper manager ima massive huddersfield town fan seen lots of upin last decade n so so many downs over 34 years supporting my club..but really enjoy the ian holloways tony pullis niel warnocks of this great game but too many yesmen in todays game it will always be results game graft hardwork way it should be!shame what happend at grimsby today he deserves better he will be back weather on skysports talking sense or another club 100 percent hollyway fan unbeliable job at blackpool!

[@the1andonlytitch]

He complains because all the decisions goes against clubs like Blackpool and teams like Utd get all the decisions over the season that cost them

[@andym3964]

Some great points, but the structure of Blackpool has been dragged through the mill over recent years and have now been relegated from the championship with games still to play.

[@janty1001]

total respect to this man

[@jackmiller-johnston8689]

Would love to see this man head of the FA or England manger after Roy. Shit would get done!

[@tatsujinMasurao]

I'm a United fan, first off. But the respect I have for this man is immense. He is a leader of men.

[@Pigeon55]

Love him or loathe him,Holloway can hold his head high,good luck next season Tangerines

[@JoshuaPetersenMusic]

"What's gonna happen to Charlie Adam?" He's gonna be shit for Liverpool and then even shitter for Stoke. Should've stayed with the Seasiders, Charlie boy!

[@ABM84133]

Joshua Petersen 5 years too late but your right

[@petehall1985]

Having seen my team reading Fc drop 7 points against the top three down to horrific calls; not hard ones, I agree the bigger teams in leagues get decisions and the backing of the authorities. The fa are scared of losing the teams to some super league and back there officials even when there wrong,. They need to man up and apply the rules to all teams equally

[@thehandlebroke]

This aged perfectly you psychic

[@WilliamTaylor15]

I have so much respect for this man's honesty and integrity.

[@adamusprime1001]

as Man United supporter, I wanted Blackpool to win that game

[@netweed09]

Very sad day, a true legend, hope he returns prompto.

[@TheSLIFER09]

Innit best gaffer out there - Chelsea fan

[@05marshalljw]

I recently had a look at your pitch...more sand

[@jpvicious1]

It's nice to listen to an honest man

[@Pipehh12345]

Feel bad for holloway :<

[@zerirocks]

I think Holloway will manage a big club one day..

[@Gallowgate]

Why does he belly-ache so much? Bad workmen blaming tools and all that.
