Oyston: Holloway's transfer clause `insignificant'

27 January 2011 11:00
Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston has dismissed revelations that manager Ian Holloway will receive a percentage of any transfer fee for captain Charlie Adam as "insignificant". Holloway has said he is entitled to a percentage of any sum the club receive for selling a player he has coached. He has, however, denied that is the reason why he and the Seasiders are holding out for a higher price for star midfielder Adam, who has attracted bids from Liverpool, Birmingham and Aston Villa this month. Holloway has stressed that any transfer cut would compare little to the bonus he would receive for keeping Blackpool in the Barclays Premier League and for that Adam is vital. Oyston told Press Association Sport: "This is insubstantial and insignificant and shouldn't be focused upon."
