The Premier League Board has found Blackpool FC guilty of breaches of Rules B.13 and E.20 in relation to the team fielded by the Club in its fixture against Aston Villa on 10th November 2010.As a result of this breach of rules Blackpool FC has been fined £25,000.
Ruled Out
In reaching a decision the Board took into account the team fielded by Blackpool in its match against West Ham United on 13th November 2010 and in subsequent League matches. The Board also considered the team fielded in the FA Cup 3rd Round tie versus Southampton FC and the Blackpool FC Managers' comments concerning the team selected for that game.
The Board was also mindful of the fact that as recently as 10th June 2010, following the introduction of the League's new Home Grown Player and Squad Rules, the Clubs considered but ruled out removing Rule E.20 and the Board is therefore committed to applying it in such extreme cases.
