IAN Holloway has revealed how "horrified" he was after Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony announced on his Twitter account that George Boyd was heading to Crystal Palace.
"It was announced by the chairman of Peterborough United that George Boyd was going to his boyhood club, and I'm horrified because we hadn't done personal terms yet," he told Advertiser Sport.
"Our fans shouldn't be told that. What on earth was that about? I just can't understand it, and you sit there on Sky Sports News night after night after night, and it's just ticking away.
"For goodness sake, make a decent programme. What sort of world are we living in?
"Ever since I've been here, all it's been (from the media) has been Wilfried, Wilfried, Wilfried, Wilfried.
"Now we're back with a bit of sanity and let's see what we can do."
