The FA is all about fair play and having Wolves field an under-strength squad at Old Trafford and then target the following match at Turf Moor is deemed to be unfair to Burnley. I think that they accept a certain amount of changes but 8, 9, 10 changes in matches you don't think you'll win is a bit much. Bit of a grey area this and no one is sure how the FA can come up with a suitable compromise.

I can understand that, but Holloway made changes against
Aston Villa. They're tied with Blackpool right now, it was an effectively even match, as I understand it Holloway made the changes in part because they had just played and because they just played poorly so he was punishing that team selection.
Anyways, you cant say Holloway isnt a player, hes 'handing in his resignation' today, a resignation that Blackpool's Board of Directors have openly admitted that they will reject. He certainly is big on the melodramatic. He has been quite the character this season, I've been kind of quietly following Blackpool, I really like Holloway and Blackpool and hope they do well. They certainly got their licks in against Liverpool.
