Holloway’s antics could rob Blackpool of Europa League spot

England, Norway and Sweden will each receive one extra place in the qualifying rounds of next season’s Europa League after being judged the three fairest leagues in Europe by UEFA.

With the current standings, Fulham seem likely to clinch that spot and qualify for the qualifying rounds of next season's Europa League.

However Blackpool would have been above Fulham and in pole position to qualify for next season’s Europa League if Holloway and his staff had matched the score of Mark Hughes and his coaching team.

Fulham could also miss out on the competition if Tottenham lose their current position of fifth in the league, as Tottenham are ahead of Fulham in the fair-play table along with Chelsea and Manchester United.

Along with the overall number of cards and the touchline behaviour of officials, clubs are scored on 'positive play’, 'respect towards opponent’ and 'respect towards referee’.
