Holloway happy Blackpool out of Carling Cup

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway admits he's happy to be out of the Carling Cup.

Holloway has opened himself up to fresh criticism and possible punishment after admitting he was happy to crash out.

Holloway said: "With the greatest respect to MK Dons, the team I put out there needed a game. That game is done and gone and we're out of the cup. Am I bothered? Was I bothered? No.

"What I care about is the Premier League, end of story. I had to do that because the size of squad isn't big enough to cope with cup games.

"So if I get in trouble, who cares? My trouble is you try and get this squad through the rigours of a Premier League season and we are nowhere near ready."
