Bedford Director Was At Edgar Street

 

Bedford Town director and former manager Jon Taylor was once working at Edgar Street.

He was appointed manager of Hereford United in July 2014 whilst Tommy Agombar ran the club.

After the club went bust Taylor said he had been lied to from day one.

A look back to  Friday December 19th 2014.

On his way out of Edgar Street this evening, former Hereford United manager Jon Taylor spoke to BBC H&W's Keith Hall.

"We're all very disappointed because quite frankly we've been lied to from day one," said Taylor.

"We had a lot of promises but nothing came to fruition.

"You always want to believe who employs you but the writing has been on the wall in the last couple of months.

"My job have been touted around, I've only got two games to go before I get the sack.

"In hindsight I probably should have believed what the supporters were saying.

"I'm not on the political side, not on the financial side. All I want is the football team to do well."

Taylor was then asked about former owner Tommy Agombar and Andy Lonsdale.

"Agombar was in the dressing rooms up to about two months ago, since then he's not been in. Lonsdale has not been in the dressing room.


"All I tried to do was get the team to play football and I wanted to get the supporters back, but it didn't happen.

"The only regret I've got is that I probably should have listened to the supporters."
