Holloway ready for a new year clear-out

IAN HOLLOWAY has moved to kick off his revolution at Leicester City by asking seven players to leave ahead of a major spending spree in the January sales.

Holloway has compared his unwanted duds to dead men walking in Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ video and claims that if they stay they risk wrecking his hopes of hauling Leicester out of relegation trouble.

Former Republic of Ireland international Alan Maybury, Carl Cort, Shaun Newton, Rab Douglas, Hossein Kaebi, Sergio Hellings and Jimmy Nielsen have all been told to find other clubs by the new Leicester manager.
