Holloway believes some of his key players will move on in the summer

Ian Holloway is resigned to losing some of his key players in the summer and is making transfer plans for next season.

Star skipper Charlie Adam looks set to move on along with the likes of David Vaughan, Stephen Crainey and Matt Gilks whose contracts run up at the end of this season.

Holloways says he is prepared for some players to leave and says he has already drawn up two lists of replacements, one for if they stay in the Premier League and one for the Championship.

"Unless we stay up and unless we can improve what we've offered them so far, we might lose them," Holloway told the Blackpool Gazette.

"If we do that, with the extra money we'll have for staying up, then it might change the dynamics of who is still here.

"We are looking for next year, we are looking for people. But we have two budgets. One is up high, figure x, and the other is way lower, figure y.

"There are a lot less people I can get in figure y let me tell you. It is really going to be difficult, but what a fantastic challenge this is."
