The 25-year-old, who handed in a transfer request when he learned of the first of at least two bids from Liverpool, was also the subject of a very late offer from Tottenham on Monday night. But Oyston - who manager Ian Holloway claimed was refusing to return the calls of Liverpool's director of football strategy Damien Comolli - is delighted to have held on to their prize asset. "I want to give the town, the club, its supporters and the manager the best possible chance of maintaining Premier League status," he told the Blackpool Gazette. "It would be horrific if we all sat at the end of the season saying 'What if?' "Now, no matter what happens, there won't be any 'what ifs?' "We will give staying in this league - and all the rewards that brings - our best shot. We go forward together and we won't have any regrets." Adam is likely to captain the Seasiders in tomorrow's home match against West Ham and he has insisted he remains fully committed to the challenge of surviving their first season in the top-flight for four decades "I want to help Blackpool finish as high as possible," he said in a statement to the paper.
