SKY Sports presenter Chris Kamara has slammed Leicester City for their "shocking" attempt to unsettle Burnley manager Steve Cotterill.
The Clarets recently turned down a request to speak to Cotterill by the managerless Foxes - setting off a chain of events that also saw them make approaches for QPR boss Ian Holloway and Mike Newell of Luton.
In the fall out, Cotterill has been forced to clarify a commitment to his club along with Newell, while Holloway has been suspended and placed on "gardening leave" due to the mounting speculation over his position.
And former Bradford City and Stoke City manager Kamara, now a popular TV pundit, believes City chiefs should be hauled before Football League bosses to explain their flagrant breach of etiquette.
Kamara insisted: "What Leicester have done is nothing short of shocking.
"To upset all those managers in perfectly good jobs the way they have is just wrong.
"It is nothing short of unbelievable and they have gone about things in completely the wrong way.
"If you need a manager, you do not go and ask Burnley for permission to speak to Steve Cotterill, then ask QPR if it's okay to talk to Ian Holloway and then go to Luton to see if you can speak to Mike Newell.
"You single out your preferred target and then make your approach to the football club."
