Holloway reveals Blackpool chairman may have scuppered Wright-Phillips deal

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway has revealed how chairman Karl Oyston may have cost them a deal for Plymouth Argyle striker Bradley Wright-Phillips.

Yesterday he surprisingly admitted Oyston's email to the agent of transfer target Wright-Phillips had pushed the Plymouth striker towards Reading instead before he failed a medical.

"The agent showed it to the player who didn't feel wanted. It didn't look like we wanted him much and, to be fair, our chairman is like that.

"When you try to force him to do something, he panics and shouts. He shouted at me the other day and I said, 'Oi, hang on a minute, don't talk to me like that!'. But I've never felt supported like I do with him."
