BROADCASTER Jeff Stelling has resigned as honorary president of English National League side Hartlepool over owner Raj Singh's handling of efforts to sell the club.

Pools issued a statement on Wednesday in which they said an agreement with a potential buyer had been reached in March, but that proof of funds for next season is yet to be deposited and revealing a plan to poll season-ticket holders over whether Singh should resume control.
