Blackpool captain Charlie Adam says Ian Holloway has a massive influence on the club.
Adam regards Holloway's influence at Blackpool as more significant than his own. The manager jigged to Ghanaian gospel music - supplied by the goalkeeper Richard Kingson - in the dressing room at Upton Park last Saturday, living up to his madcap persona.
"He is nuts but he is good at the right things," Adam told the Guardian of Holloway. "He always helps the lads if they have any problems. If you need a day off here or there, away from it, then he will give you that.
"He knows everything. Tactically he is very good. He always goes on about José Mourinho. I think he plans in the next month or so to go and see José in Madrid, watch his training and have a chat, which would be some meeting to listen in to.
"He just wants to become a better manager and learn from the best. He is a top manager and a great person to work for. It would be sad for Blackpool to lose that kind of person, that icon, because of how well he has done."
