Blackpool have been fined 25k fielding a weakened side against Aston Villa on the 10th November. Blackpool only lost the game 3-2 thanks to a late winner by James Collins but this story has a even bigger twist. Blackpool manager Ian Holloway said he would resign as Blackpool manager if Blackpool were fined.

Although i agree that the rule is a joke the Blackpool board voted for this rule in the summer as did all the Premier League clubs. This isn't Holloways fault but surely Blackpool have to take some blame in this along with the rest of the PremierLeague clubs for leaving this rule in the game.
