    Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston reportedly labels fan a '******'
    Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston has allegedly been involved in an angry exchange with a supporter of the club he reportedly called "a ******".

    Oyston is alleged to have made the remark as part of a series of abusive messages between himself and the fan.

    Blackpool were not available for comment on whether Oyston sent the messages, which have been widely reported over the last 24 hours.

    The Football Association has said it is aware of the row.

    Oyston, a member of the Football League Board, is also alleged to have told the supporter to "enjoy the rest of your special needs day out".

    Blackpool Supporters Trust has issued a statement condemning the alleged texts from Oyston and called for an explanation.

    The statement added: "Regardless of the context of the conversation, these are shocking sentiments to read from the chairman of a football club addressing a supporter.

    "The language is wholly inappropriate from someone in a position of responsibility towards his customers and the community that Blackpool FC serves."

    Oyston's weekly column in the Blackpool Gazette has been dropped by the newspaper.

    Blackpool are currently bottom of the Championship and lost 6-1 at home to Bournemouth on Saturday.

    The club, which was relegated after a one-season stay in the Premier League in 2011, appointed former Birmingham boss Lee Clark as manager at the end of October.

    Clark replaced Belgian Jose Riga, who was appointed by Oyston in the summer but quickly fell out with the chairman over transfer policy.

    Oyston's stewardship of Blackpool has regularly been criticised by a section of the Seasiders' supporters, who organised a walk-out in the 53rd-minute of Blackpool's home game against Cardiff City in October in recognition of the club's 1953 FA Cup success.

    It's sad that his non-PC comment will be taken more seriously than anything Allam has said.
