FORMER Deal, Herne Bay and Ashford manager Tommy Sampson has quit as manager of Boreham Wood after just six weeks in charge. Sampson has blamed interference from chairman Danny Hunter.

"He was impossible to work with," said Sampson, who took over at Ryman League side Boreham Wood on October 16. He wanted to buy and sell players that I did not. I even had one manager ring me up to tell me that I had bought one of his midfield players, and I knew nothing about it.

"I knew what he was like because I was the fourth manager in nine months, but you always feel you can be the one to change a person. I'm choked because I felt I had done a good job. We had lost only three of the nine games for which I was in charge. It was the right job at the wrong time."
