da wazamba: Blackpool manager Ian Holloway has laughed off reports that he was considering walking out on the Premier League new boys.
da heads bet: Holloway was reported to be considering his future at Bloomfield Road just weeks after guiding the Seasiders into the top-flight after failing to agree terms on a new contract.
"Anyone that thinks I would walk out on the club must be mad," he told the Blackpool Gazette.
"For people to think that I would walk out without saying anything and that (chairman) Karl (Oyston) and I would fall out badly is quite ridiculous.
"My intention is to lead Blackpool in the Premier League next season and that's the chairman's intention too.
"It's gone on for a few weeks, but we are pretty close to sorting it out I think. We are still in talks.
"I hear all sorts of other things about me walking out and I don't know where they come from."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
