Houllier livid over Holloway comments

ASTON VILLA manager Gerard Houllier has launched a stinging attack on Ian Holloway, accusing the Blackpool boss of double standards over the Charlie Adam transfer saga.

Houllier believes Holloway has singled him out for criticism, despite the fact that other clubs have bid for the midfielder, who yesterday handed in a transfer request, through the same channels.

The Frenchman is angry that Holloway distanced Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish from the offer made by the Anfield side, yet did exactly the opposite when talking about Villa’s bid.
