Sacked Blackpool boss Paul Ince admits he's upset by the manner of his dismissal.
The former Manchester United and Liverpool captain was axed via text by chairman Karl Oyston.
Ince said in an LMA statement: "It was deeply disappointing to have been notified that my contract was to be terminated via text message after a lengthy meeting with the Club Chairman on Sunday where no indication was given that any of the coaching staff, myself included, were going to lose their jobs.
"Neither I nor my coaching staff received a telephone call from the Chairman at any stage after this meeting.
"It is true that I was at St George's Park this week as I am completing the final phase of the Uefa Pro Licence, which I have been working towards over the past two years."
