Agreed if he was fined they must be also fined or it will be just stupid

THe difference was Mccarthy put out a weak squad because he knew he was going to lose. Blackpool still put out a decent side

sometimes you have to put a weaker team if you play in a lot of competitions but Blackpool play only in the league once a week no excuses
