Blackpool chairman Oyston says Premier League relationship remains strong

Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston says they have a good relationship with the Premier League.

Oyston insists there's no rift over their £25,000 fine for fielding a weakened selection earlier this season.

"The Premier League has got a job to do to enforce the regulations," the chairman told the Blackpool Gazette.

"They have massive input from Sky, and I think they do a very good job really in promoting what is the best league in the world. I've no complaints with the Premier League.

"I'm not sure if there is any more focus on us, rather than the big clubs - I don't necessarily hold with that conspiracy theory.

"But what I do think is that, because the Premier League have perhaps been bitten by one or two clubs in the past, not complying with regulations and taking slightly obscure decisions, I would say they will focus on newer members more than existing members, both in rule compliance and this sort of thing."
