22A Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 He wore his heart on his sleeve at the end of today's broadcast. He praised the Orient fans who went to Crewe and declared "They are real fans supporting their team in it's hour of need". When the full time result came in confirming Orient were down he stated the owner had reduced the club, London's 2nd oldest professional club, to non League in just13 months. Then when Newport & Hartlepool's results came in confirming 'pool had dropped into the bottom two he exploded. "Dave Jones, nothing personal, but you are out of your depth at this level; just go"! Then he turned to the Chairman; "If he won't go.sack him! If you want me to resign as club President, I will do, just get rid of him before next week"!

cityexile Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Wears his heart on his sleeve, and that can be endearing. Unproffessional however today I thought.

Redstart Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I've been keeping an eye on the bottom of that league for a while mainly to see if Newport would go down - bearing in mind Orient have been dire this season and 4th March Newport lost 4-0 at home to them - I thought they were absolute goners. If Newport do survive this season, and its in their own hands now with just 2 matches left, it will be one hell of an escape - helped a lot by how bad Hartlepool have been playing - gotta feel for Jeff, cant see SKY covering their games next season in the non league.

BanburyRed Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 In fairness Hartlepool are perennial strugglers in League Two and at some point too much flirting with the bottom 2 will result in relegation. Like Jeff tho, seems like a proper football man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
