Holloway admits trying to convince Blackpool chairman Oyston to release funds

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway admits he's working on chairman Karl Oyston to release more transfer funds.

Oyston has been reluctant to loosen the purse strings this summer.

Ollie joked: "The chairman's grip on the money is more impressive than a top gymnast doing a high-bar routine.

"Can you imagine how strong that is? And I'm trying to prise those fingers open to do deals. But he trusts my judgment.

"He's admitted to me he's almost got OCD about this football club and he can't do things until he has got all the information."
