Pressure on Blackpool chairman Oyston to resign over abusive texts

Karl Oyston should resign as chairman of Blackpool after sending abusive texts to a fan says club president and shareholder Valeri Belokon. The Latvian is also urging Blackpool fans to write an open letter to Oyston condemning his behaviour, reports BBC Sport.

Oyston has since apologised for the texts but the Football Association has yet to act on the matter.

Belokon told BBC Radio 5 live Sport that he intended to write to Oyston telling him "that maybe he should go".
