    Yeah, his style wouldn't play there. Holloway played attacking football, but it was a much different kind of attacking football: a 4-3-3, and quite direct most of the time. A possession-based 4-2-2 isn't likely to work on that farmer's field.

    Blackpool Gazette says Nige is off on holiday. Bet he hasn't had one of them for a while.

    I think it's obvious he doesn't fancy the Blackpool job.

    He could have changed his mind seeing how their chairman is so tight with money and the fact that Ince and Phillips may well be sold this month.

    Just to clarify why put a dislike on this post, if NA got a team that went above us, I would be moved to dislike him and I don't want to do that!

    I did say I think in front of that so it's just my opinion, which I am entitled to, just as you are to yours. :p

    That's a relief, Tom, I thought you were going to make one of your rash predictions then, and you know what happens when you do that, don't you? :biggrin:

    Well I'd have posted a dislike, becasue it's ridiculous to want any team to ge tabove us with whoever in charge. I liked NA alot, but it's SFC, not NAFC.

    Spot on. Can't really use the word "us" if you want somebody else to do better.

    I wish I could go on holiday whenever I had to think about something.
