SKY SPORTS legend Jeff Stelling has announced that he will no longer be honourary president of Hartlepool United.
The 70-year-old made the decision after being left disappointed with the state of Hartlepool’s takeover process.
He took to X to write: “Following Raj’s latest statement, I have resigned as President of @Official_HUFC.
“I know this is only an honorary role but it is the best way I felt I could protest against the treatment of the party trying to take control the club.
“Supporters have been left in an intolerable position with a perceived threat to the future of the club should they not support the current owner.
“Let’s remember it was him who wanted to stop funding the club. Yet now he seems almost affronted that others want to take over.
“Not once have I been consulted about this even though I am a shareholder.
“I have not met the would be buyers but I do know they have been trying to buy this club for over a year – not the actions of time wasters.
“I will always love this club and wish all our fans the best.”;;
