The board considered that a weakend team was also fielded against Southampton FC and Ian Holloways' comments concerning the team selected for the game. Blackpool FC now has 14 days to appeal! This petition is to the Premier League to question: 1) Whether when you are required to name a 25 man squad you should then be open to chastisement. 2) Whether a manager has the right to field his team in cup comeptitions or should be pushed into a team of the leagues' choice. 3) If an inability to field young players in the League actually helps the game on a National level with the growth of English players. Sign up if you believe that the FA Premier League are being unfair in the enforcement and consistency enforcement of this rule.
