FORMER Newcastle defender Olivier Bernard has been hammered for his running of Durham City after they withdrew from all competitions.
This comes after they made a disastrous start to the season.
The Frenchman is current owner of the 11th-tier club, who shipped 128 GOALS and scored just twice in 13 games before pulling out.
Bernard confirmed the news on Twitter by saying: “As from today Chris Tanner and his Zenit team will no longer be part of the Durham City Football Club.”
As a result, angry fans have been demanding the ex-Toon Army star to sell up.
