Blackpool boss Ian Holloway admits he has no control over whether the impressive Charlie Adam remains with the Seasiders over the summer. Speculation over the midfielder's future saw Blackpool reject offers from the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham, Birmingham and Aston Villa.
"I haven't got a clue whether he'll move on or not in the summer. I can't worry about things that aren't in my control," Holloway said in the Blackpool Gazette.
"The situation will be taken out of my hands because of how well he has played. Other people who have a lot more resources than I have will have seen what he can do, and it will be their choice and not mine.
"One thing I do know is that the chairman couldn't have done any more.
"If Charlie had gone (in the January transfer window) and we'd hit this bad run of form, everybody would have looked at the chairman and blamed him.
"But I think he has tried to do the right things for the fans, for the team and for us the staff ... maybe not for Charlie personally.
"But players sign these deals and they should see their contract through... unless someone offers us a fee which is respectable and I didn't think we were offered that in January.
"So until his contract runs out (at the end of next season), surely we should hold out for what we think is right and not be bullied by some bigger, stronger and tougher clubs. That's what they were trying to do in January and I didn't like it."
