Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston "delighted" to fine striker Michael Chopra

Blackpool chairman Karl Oysten says that he was "delighted" to fine striker Michael Chopra after he blasted the club's training methods on Twitter.

Blackpool chairman Karl Oysten has insisted that he has no problems punishing striker Michael Chopra following his expletive-ridden tweet about a training session this week.

The Championship outfit imposed a maximum fine of more than £10,000 after the 30-year-old described the club's training methods as a "fucking joke".

"It didn't anger me in the slightest," Oyston told the Blackpool Gazette. "If people are dim enough to do things like that, which will cost them thousands of pounds, then I'm delighted to take it."

Chopra was angry that only six players turned up to a training session, which was being taken by the fitness coach.
