Grant relaxed as Blackpool counterpart Holloway makes ten changes

West Ham boss Avram Grant has no problems with Ian Holloway making 10 changes to his Blackpool team which lost 3-2 at Aston Villa on Wednesday night. The Premier League set a precedent last year when Wolves were given a suspended £25,000 fine after manager Mick McCarthy made 10 changes to his side to face Manchester United.

Holloway insisted his side was not under-strength and that he had no choice because of the club's busy schedule, which continues at struggling West Ham on Saturday.

"They did what they had to do for that [match]," the former Chelsea and Portsmouth boss said.

"Also they have a bigger squad than us, and without injuries, so they could do it."
