Over the last 24 hours sky sports has been following the intense story over the confusion and debate of the future of the now former Knocknamuckley BB U18 manager Matthew Parks.

But now exclusively we can confirm that Parks has been axed as manager of the team along with team hydration manager Keith "Mad Dog" Dawson. After a prolonged emergency board meeting this morning the board of directors confirmed that Parks and Dawson have been sacked with immediate effect causing a lot of mixed messages from the Muckley camp. The reason given for their dismissal was due to them practicing fraudulent behaviour within the Christian organisation. Other minor staff caught up in the scandal are awaiting their fait such as Mark Henderson and Malcolm Harrison.

The full statement of the board of directors can be seen in full at a later date. In the statement they expressed their deep disappointment in the staff involved, quote '' we thought more of Matthew and Keith and where deeply saddened that any human being could stoop to such a low level. Are thoughts and prayers are with the men and their families at the minute to ensure that they get their lives back on track as soon as possible''

It has emerged that a false source called the ''match report'' posted claims that Parks was not leaving his post but this report has been dismissed as pure BS as the report was believed to have been posted by the man in question, Parks.

Also a reliable source released this morning an in depth interview with Dawson which is being investigated at this moment in time to see how genuine this interview actually is. We are lead to believe that Dawson was forced into this bad situation by ring leader Parks.

The fraudulent behaviour confirmed to have taken place was that Parks over charged players for their last season kits by over £15 and pocketing the profits. Also in the clubs mega store price where said to be double over their rrp value. For example cans of coke where being charged at 60p and that Bon Bon sweets cost 10p for one sweet!!! Like WTF!!! Also involved in this part of the scandal is Mark Henderson who knew about these overcharged items and is thought to be taking a slice of the profit.

The directors have said that the club must move on from this terrible situation of this week and are now fully focused on finding a new manager. The directors confirmed this morning Stephen Pollock as the caretaker manager, but he himself has said that he does not want the U18 job and is happy with his post at the U14 presently. Other people that have confirmed themselves out of the running for the job is Thomas Chambers, due to family commitments. But still in the running is favourite, Kenny Vernard. Sky Sports are currently trying to make contact with him and we will bring you any updates as soon as we can.

In light of recent speculation linking me to the now vacant Knocknamuckley job i wish to make my situation clear to all concerned.

It is true that over the last few days Knocknamuckly representatives have been in contact with myself and my agent over the possibility of me taking over as manager. Initial contact was made on Thursday evening and, having been made aware of Muckleys interest i began to question were my future lay. Having spent hours debating with friends and family i now wish to anounce my resignation as manger of 7thPortadown with immediate effect, paving the way for further contract talks with Muckley to take place.

I understand that due to my history some Muckley fans may Be concerned about my potential appointment. I wish to assure these fans that my days of lying, pretending not to care in finals and bribing referees are long gone. I now wish to concentrate solely on becoming a better manager and i can only hope that this is with Knocknamuckley.

With regards to my potential backroom staff i am pleased to announce that a number of appointments are already in place should i be appointed as manager. This morning Seth Matthers was pleased to accept his place as Goalkeeping coach whilst Mal Harrison and Colin Irwin both agreed to meet with me to discuss becoming Assistant Manager and First team coach, respectfully.

I hope to make an announcement regarding my future by the end of the weekend.
