Looks like the premiership are already getting ready for return of Ollie and the tangerines but give us our god dam money back.
From the Daily Mail
Managers in the Barclays Premier League will be free to rotate their squads next season without fear of reprisal.
A key rule change means clubs will no longer be punished for making wholesale changes and fielding weakened teams as long as they use players from within their 25-man squad registered at the start of the campaign.
It may come as a relief to those involved in European competitions but it is too late to help Blackpool, who were fined £25,000 last season after Ian Holloway made 10 changes for a midweek game at Aston Villa last season, three days before a match at West Ham.
Holloway reacted angrily, tendering his resignation and insisting the players were from his first-team squad and therefore capable of playing without damaging the integrity of the competition.
‘I’ve got every right to do what I like,’ he fumed at the time. ‘Who the hell are they to tell me my players are not good enough?’
Blackpool were relegated in May after one season in the top tier but last night applauded the change, passed at the Premier League’s AGM by the 20 clubs who will contest next season’s competition.
Club secretary Matt Williams said: ‘I don’t expect we will get our £25,000 back or any form of apology but I am glad to see common sense has prevailed.

Unbelievable.
But then again, what I heard was that most managers thought that was what they agree to last season with the 25 squad anyway.
Good old prem, always behind the ball!!!!!!!!!
