Holloway reveals Man Utd boss Ferguson plans playing comeback against Blackpool!

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway has revealed Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to come out of retirement for Manchester United!

Former Rangers centre-forward Fergie, 69, made that tongue-in-cheek pledge when Pool boss Holloway told him how much he admired United's destruction of Champions League semi-final opponents Schalke.

Ollie explained: "I rang to congratulate him on their performance. They were breathtaking.

"We got chatting, and he asked who we had next. I mentioned Tottenham and Bolton, and said of course we finish up against you.

"I said I hoped they'd have the title wrapped up by then, and he said 'If we have, I'll play myself against you, my old son'. I'll hold him to that."
