Blackpoool manager Ian Holloway has hinted that he may quit his job following an incident back in November in which he fielded an almost completely changed team for a match against Aston Villa.
The seaside club have been fined £25,000 after being found guilty of breaching two rules when Holloway made 10 changes to his line-up. The Blackpool boss was adamant at the time that if the club did receive a punishment he would quit.
But chief executive Karl Oyston has made it clear that Bloomfield Road outfit will not accept a letter of resignation if Holloway decides to follow his word.
"I will do everything in my power to stop Ian going anywhere," Oyston told Sky Sports News.
"He has been a breath of fresh air, not just for Blackpool, but for the whole Premier League.
"He has obviously done wonderful things in his time at Blackpool and it would be ridiculous for Ian, on a point of principle, however strongly we both feel, to suffer any kind of personal loss.
"I will do everything necessary to keep him here and have no doubt I'll be successful in that."
