Blackpool reject Adam transfer request

Blackpool have turned down a transfer request from midfielder Charlie Adam.

The Seasiders captain made the bid earlier on Monday, but the club have wasted little time in turning it down.
Adam's agent Kenny Moyes earlier confirmed that "Charlie has handed in a transfer request", but Blackpool manager  Ian Holloway later revealed chairman Karl Oyston had rejected it.
"The decision to reject the transfer request was the chairman's decision," he said.
The news comes after Holloway revealed that three clubs had made unsuccessful bids for the player - Aston Villa, Birmingham and latterly Liverpool, whose £4m offer was rebuffed on Friday.

Fourth Time

All bids have been rejected with Holloway insisting he will not move unless their valuation is met.


Adam arrived at Bloomfield Road in January 2009 initially on loan from Rangers.
He sealed a permanent move that summer after Blackpool paid £500,000 for his services.
Adam responded with 19 goals as the club sealed a remarkable promotion to the Barclays Premier League through the play-offs.
He was back on target for the fourth time this season on Saturday when he scored from the penalty spot in the 2-1 defeat by Sunderland.
