Fans trust, Cambridge Fans United, has issued the following statement:

Following the resignation of Martin Ling as manager of Cambridge United, Cambridge Fans United have called a board meeting via Fans Elected Director Colin Proctor. The trust will be asking George Rolls to stand down in his role as Chairman.

Dave Matthew Jones, Vice Chairman of the trust, commented, "The shocking events of today have left supporters completely aghast."

Dave continued, "This is the second manager in a number of weeks who has left as a direct result of irreconcilable differences with the Chairman. With the allegations surrounding the treatment of other candidates in the lead up to Ling's appointment on top of this we feel George's position at the club is no longer tenable. The fans do not deserve to witness this farcical situation at the club they love.

"In the interests of the club this situation cannot continue and we urge George to stand down as Chairman with immediate effect."

Statement ends.
