Holloway will not panic if best Blackpool players sold on

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway insists he won't panic if his squad breaks up this summer.

Midfielder Charlie Adam is widely expected to leave at the end of the season after attracting bids from the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham in January.

David Vaughan, Stephen Crainey and Matt Gilks, meanwhile, are among those out of contract and Holloway acknowledged which division Blackpool will be playing in next season will dictate his summer plans.

"I am completely chilled about it but obviously I have had a look around and done some research," said Holloway in the Blackpool Gazette.

"I've had a look at who is out of contract, who has an option, and who definitely won't be here, because I can't force them to sign something. And when you look at that, there are a lot of changes.

"I would imagine we'll lose a few, as who in their right mind wouldn't want to go and do that? Unless we stay up and unless we can improve what we've offered them so far, we might lose them.

"If we do that, with the extra money we'll have for staying up, then it might change the dynamics of who is still here.

"But at the end of the day, I can't hide the fact my lads have done much better than anybody thought they would, and they might be sought after.

"Until I know definitely, I can't make proper decisions, so what is the point of worrying."
