Ian Holloway doubts he will be able to lure Fleetwood hot-shot Jamie Vardy to Blackpool.

Non-league striker is central to his team gaining promotion

Ian Holloway doubts he will be able to lure Fleetwood hot-shot Jamie Vardy to Blackpool. Vardy, 25, already has 20 goals for the Blue Square Premier side, which has brought him to the attention of several Championship clubs. His strike and all-round performance in the recent FA Cup clash between the two sides made Holloway take notice of him too, and prompted him to make an enquiry about the player to counterpart Micky Mellon. "There'll be lots of bids in for that boy and I'd rather talk to Mick about that," said Holloway.

"As far as I'm concerned, he's their player and I don't talk about other people's players. "I spoke to Mick about his player, he's told me what his club wants and I've thought 'okay, fair enough' and that's about as far as it is really. "I conduct my business with Mick and through my chairman with his chairman and no-one needs to know about it until there is an agreement. "Whether that ever happens, who knows? I doubt it very much at the moment because they're going to get promoted and he's a huge part of that."
