Holloway glad to welcome McCarthy
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway is looking forward to welcoming Mick McCarthy to Bloomfield Road tomorrow having cleared the air with his Wolves counterpart.
Holloway apologised to McCarthy over a misunderstanding which arose as the Tangerines boss tried to justify his controversial 10 changes at Aston Villa last week.
Holloway suggested McCarthy did not think he could win when he made wholesale changes for Wolves' visit to Manchester United last season.
Holloway claims he commented on the Wolves case without knowing the full facts when asked in his post-match press conference immediately after the game at Villa, which his side lost 3-2 to a late goal.
"He was unhappy with what I said - I have never been unhappy with Mick," said Holloway at another press conference. "I didn't know what Mick said. One or two of you people [media] told me Mick said something and I responded to it.
"Mick did what he felt was right and I don't think she should have been fined. Mick is a great manager - if I even do half of what he has done I will be delighted. Mick and I haven't got a problem."
