Holloway's Champions League dream `is not crazy'

05 November 2010 14:00
Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has a long-term vision - winning the Champions League with Charlie Adam pulling the strings. Adam is involved in a bonus dispute with the club which the Premier League is in the process of making a ruling. The influential Scotland midfielder looks set to retain his place in the side to face Everton even though he may need another pain-killing injection in his troublesome ankle. Holloway hopes Adam puts down roots at Bloomfield Road as he has high hopes for the promoted team. He said: "I realise I might lose my best players because they will go and be paid a damn sight more elsewhere. I would love Charlie Adam to stay for a long time and get us in the top four, maybe Champions League places, maybe winning the Champions League. "You might think I am crazy but I am not. I have watched games over the last few days and I have watched my team play. You know what? I am very proud. I am very proud of how we are playing football. We are playing it the right way with our passing. I want to create an atmosphere where the players know I believe in them and that is what I have been doing. This is a fantastic journey and I do not want it to stop."
