Transfer window encourages sackings - Holloway

12 January 2011 09:00
Blackpool boss Ian Holloway has blamed the concept of the January transfer window for the sudden spate of managerial casualties. Eleven managers have left their positions across the four professional divisions in the past fortnight. Holloway believes clubs are acting too hastily and that the reopening of the transfer market for a few weeks mid-season is exacerbating the situation. He said: "Thank God some of these chairmen haven't got the atomic bomb button because the world would have been blown up by now. "They get knee-jerk reactions, thinking about the transfer window. They think, 'Do we want this? It might be better to give someone else the transfer window so we can bring players in...' "It's instability all the time. Good clubs do things in the summer. I think it has made it worse and some of the sackings have been ridiculous."
