Fell said: “It is fair to say that unfortunately my relationship with the current chairman is beyond repair and therefore my position is untenable.
"Six weeks ago I was offered a position at another club which I turned down.
"At that point, Lancaster agreed a new deal for me, baring in mind I had not been paid by the club for over a year.
"Fast forward six weeks, the chairman informed me the deal agreed was no longer affordable and wouldn’t be paid.
"This is not about money, it was about the principle.”
