There could be an explanation... it's the end of the season and he's probably fucked off on holiday. Besides which, it's not like he's easily accessible on site 8 hours a day.
Even so a phone call or even speaking to his agent would be better than an email.
--Edit-- someone beat me to the holiday angle.

5K a week was reported at xmas If there was a chance of keeping him for another year on anywhere near that salary it's madness to let him go

Seems pretty unlikely. “Hi boss, I know you can easily tell me in a dignified way to my face when I come back from holiday, but instead can you ruin it for me by brutally telling me by email?” Unlikely but possible. Possible in the same way that it’s possible I might cop off with Beyoncé. As in it’s technically not impossible.

If I was away on holiday I'd much rather be told immediately by email than be made to wait just to be told to my face something I could have learned much quicker.
However it's probably not what happened.

Percy.. They have already begun preparations for next season by informing Stephen Ireland his contract will not be renewed in an email on Friday morning. To be fair, we did him a favour by extending his contract not once, but twice when he was in the final stages of his recuperation, even though he was not really part of our plans (he didn't start a prem game for a year before he got injured) at the time of his injury, never mind going forward....

In fairness the club have looked after him, the email business is probably not as black and white as it has been reported by the Telegraph.

Strange situation,we stick by him as a club when jis career looked to be over and then drop down a division where he could play a big role,and they inform him by email that he's not wanted. I smell bullshit.

There’s nothing to stop his agent ‘getting cracking’ while he’s under contract.

Pot ketle but just for clarification it was a theory not an opinion one which you said was possible.

Even you don’t think that’s what happened so why are you arguing?

We need a clear out. I cant see the enthusiasm for Ireland. Yes. he's talented but he's barely given us anything for 5 years 11 games a season on average and just a handful of those being reasonable performances. Regardless of that debate, to sack someone by email is a c**t’s trick. We haven't sacked him, his contract has come to an end and apparently we have informed him in writing we are not considering a renewal. It won't have come as any great surprise to him, he didn't manage a championship seasons worth of games in his entire 5 seasons here. With our media broadcasting rights being slashed from £100m to £6m over the next 3 seasons I guess the intent is to no longer run the operation as some kind of benevolent home for clapped out or can't be arsed footballers.

And that’s fine. I don’t agree with your last line as it pertains to Ireland but that’s fine. Informing him by email is utterly reprehensible. That’s my point.

You asked me to say it was possible, not to say I agreed with you. Again, if he did that, it wouldn’t be reported would it? Nobody would be making an issue of it.
