BBC gossip page suggests friction between Ollie and the chairman Oyston because of the strict wage structure that the club won't break for the likes of Harewood.

Although they've just made 4 signings including Craig Cathcart-



Blackpool sign 4

Surely this is all "poppycock"

Surely he will not leave, he 'loves' the place.

Says he ain't going nowhere: Linky

This bit is gold!

You have to be together in this and what has hurt me a little bit is that they think for one minute that, with how long I have worked in football and how hard I've worked, I am suddenly going to walk out on a relationship that I've got here with the fans, the chairman and the team.

Me? Walk out on a club? If things aren't going exactly as I'd like? Point me anytime in my career where I've done such a thing! Absolute Poppycock. It's all these damn media types, innit? Now where did I put my burger...?

He has said that the rumour is "crazy".

So it's a definite runner then.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway dismisses reports he has fallen out with chairman Karl Oyston over the club's transfer policy and says they will not be held to ransom by players' wage demands.

Walked to the top of the premier league, funny ol game

As I understood it, much of the hoohah was because Ollie wasn't allowed to sign Harewood due to his wage demands exceeding the budget of £10k/week (Huddersfield were said to be offering more than Blackpool could afford!). I guess Ollie's threats led to a u-turn as Marlon scored 2 of Blackpool's 4 at the weekend.

It's also reported that Ben Burgess left Blackpool for Notts County at least in part because the latter offered him better terms.
