Jeff Stelling quits Hartlepool as honorary president releasing furious statement

Broadcaster Jeff Stelling has resigned as honorary president of Vanarama National League side Hartlepool in protest at owner Raj Singh's handling of negotiations to sell the club. The move came after local businesswoman Shelley Hammond, who has been linked with a takeover, suggested that a deal was close following an earlier update, and it proved the final straw for minority shareholder and high-profile fan Stelling.
