The Tangerines were forced to pay the fine earlier in the season after Holloway made 10 changes for the Villa clash in the top flight, and did not appeal because they felt an unsuccessful decision could result in further punishment. Oyston is still unhappy with the decision but insists there is no bad feeling still lingering against the Premier League. "What I do know is that we had the least time to prepare out of every club in the Premier League this season, so we bought a lot of players in at the death, because that is the only way we could conduct the business this summer," he told the Blackpool Gazette. "That meant it took our players longer to adapt to our style of play, and assimilate into the club. "And that is another reason why the sort of wholesale changes took place at Aston Villa, because it took us a while to get everyone geared up for the way we do things. "Maybe some of the better prepared clubs wouldn't have a stronger case of defence, because they've had their players longer and know all about them. "However I absolutely support any manager - Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger - in their use of their 25-man squad and the under 21-year-old players who don't form part of that squad. "They should be free to manage and pick whatever team they want." He added: "The Premier League has got a job to do to enforce the regulations. "I'm not sure if there is any more focus on us, rather than the big clubs - I don't necessarily hold with that conspiracy theory." Meanwhile, the Seasiders chief admits that he found it difficult to add numbers to the squad during the January transfer window and has hit out at the winter market. "It is harder to buy players in the Premier League in terms of you ring up and people think they will add a few noughts on the price," Oyston remarked. "I don't blame them for that, but there is always that battle. "Also in January, some players have five or six months left on their contract, so we think we'll be able to do a deal with the club, give them a sensible fee and then deal with the player. "But it often doesn't get to that stage because clubs hold out for a lot of money in the hope we are desperate. "Basically January is not a good time to do business - that is the over-riding message. It is a desperation time to do business for players and clubs. "The better-run clubs don't tend to deal during that month. It probably wouldn't be a sad thing if there wasn't a January transfer window, quite frankly."
