Overview
- Speaking on the Under The Cosh podcast, the former Hartlepool manager said he "wouldn’t p*** on" Stelling "if he was on fire."
- Stelling, then Hartlepool’s honorary president, used Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday in April 2017 to urge Jones to walk or be sacked.
- Jones was dismissed two days after the broadcast, having won four of 18 matches in charge during a relegation fight.
- Hartlepool were relegated from the EFL that season for the first time in 96 years, despite a final-day win under a caretaker.
- Stelling later told The Times he regretted his wording and apologised, and he resigned as honorary president this summer over the unresolved sale of the club, which now competes in the National League with 14 points from 10 games under Simon Grayson.
