Ian Holloway says that he opted for a move to Crystal Palace from Blackpool because he wanted to feel the "threat" of getting sacked.

Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway has revealed that the reason he left Blackpool was that he wanted to feel the "threat" of getting sacked.

The 49-year-old made the move to Selhurst Park at the weekend following three years at Bloomfield Road.

"I was tired of feeling like it didn't matter if I won or lost," Holloway told the Blackpool Gazette.

"I just need to feel the threat of getting sacked again, and having to get up, and wanting to get up. I don't think I had the same buzz going in every day, I think the players could feel it."

Holloway will take charge of his first game at Palace when his side take on Ipswich Town tonight.
