Holloway enjoying Premier League life
Blackpool boss Ian Holloway insists he is still loving his first season of top-flight management - even if it has left him looking "haggard and jaded".
The Seasiders, who were widely tipped to finish bottom of the Barclays Premier League following their promotion from the Championship last summer, made an impressive start to the 2010-11 campaign and at the turn of the year sat comfortably in mid-table.
Their form has stuttered somewhat since January 1, with only two wins - albeit against Liverpool and Tottenham - recorded from 11 fixtures.
Currently they are hovering just above the relegation zone, but with 10 games to go, remain very much in contention to beat the drop.
"We've had almost a full season in the Premier League," Holloway said. "I look haggard and jaded but I'm loving every minute of it. It has been absolutely fantastic and I'm proud of how we've tried to acquit ourselves.
"Some days it has gone horribly wrong, but I've kept my dignity, kept smiling. We are nowhere near as low as we should be - we should be off the chart, halfway up in the Championship."
