Skipping the old adage of not kicking someone when they're down, Darlington chairman Raj Singh has put the boot into Simon Davey after his dismissal.
Writing in Darlington's matchday programme, and reproduced by the Northern Echo, Singh says: "I was reluctant to pass comment on the current situation at Hereford, but as usual the only losers in all this are football fans.
"I never have and never will wish bad luck on any club. Darlington fans don't need reminding what it was like for us last season and I'm sure they wouldn't wish that on Hereford. However, with the demise of their manager this week, you can’t help but think of the old adage, 'what goes around, comes around'.
"I said at the time of Simon Davey's departure here, which left a somewhat bitter taste, that I like to think I do things properly, and you end up reaping what you sow. With that in mind, I believe Simon and the Hereford chairman are now getting their just desserts.
"When you know you've acquired someone through the back door and behind someone's back, honesty will be an issue from day one. As it happens, Hereford are bottom of the league after ten games, with a manager out of a job and a chairman out of pocket."
Mid table Conference side Darlington are already 13 points shy of leaders Crawley after earning one point and one goal in their last three games.
