Grant: No issue with Ollie
West Ham boss Avram Grant maintains he has no issue with Ian Holloway making 10 changes to the Blackpool team which faced Aston Villa.[LNB] The Tangerines manager has declared he will resign if the club are punished by the Premier League for fielding a weakened side in the 3-2 defeat, after only being denied a point by James Collins' late winner.[LNB]The Premier League set a precedent last year when Wolves were given a suspended £25,000 fine after manager Mick McCarthy made 10 changes to his side to face Manchester United.[LNB]Holloway insisted his side was not under-strength and that he had no choice because of the club's busy schedule, which continues at struggling West Ham on Saturday.[LNB]Grant, though, claims there should be no problem with squad rotation, the Irons stretched to the limit by injury in their 2-2 draw with West Brom.[LNB]"They did what they had to do for that [match]," the former Chelsea and Portsmouth manager said. "Also they have a bigger squad than us, and without injuries, so they could do it."[LNB]Stoke manager Tony Pulis has also defended Holloway's selection.[LNB]Pulis said: "I don't have a problem at all.[LNB]"I think it should be left to the manager of the football club to decide what team they pick, and nobody else.[LNB]"Knowing Ian - and I've known him since he was 14 - whatever team he picks he will expect to go out and have a go.[LNB]"I think they did that last night, they were very unlucky not to get something out of the game.[LNB]"Who is to say the other 10 players he left out would have done as well as the 10 that played?"
