Holloway won't sell defensive pair
Blackpool, 16:43, June 18, 2009 ,
Ian Holloway has moved to reassure Blackpool fans that he has no intention of selling Shaun Barker or Alex Baptiste.
26-year-old Barker has been attracting the interest of a number of Championship clubs, including Derby who have already had one bid rejected by the Seasiders.
Fellow defender Baptiste has also been the subject of some transfer speculation, but Holloway has moved to play down these rumours by stating neither player are for sale.
"I've had no one showing any interest in Baptiste as of yet, but I have had two clubs very interested in Shaun Barker," he said.
"He knows who those clubs are and is aware of their interest, but he has got a three-year contract here and he won't be going anywhere unless we want him to.
"He shouldn't have signed that contract if he wanted to move on and it is as simple as that really. I've been out of work for a year and I am going to be so blunt about things that it's untrue."
