Glenn Hoddle appears to have parted company from his youth project team, Jerez Industrial. The project from the ex England international player saw him take over the third division side and place 22 British players in the squad of 24. 

The deal was that the Glenn Hoddle Academy took over the club which was about to vanish last Summer, and supplied a loan, reported to be 150,000 €, as well as the players, while the club provided the ground and the facilities set up at Montecastillo near Jerez.

The plan proved successful at least on the field with the team climbing up the league, but it seems that financial matters off the pitch were not so flourishing, and the loan to Hoddle has not been repaid by the local council by the date agreed in the contract.

Last weekend Jerez Industrial were beaten 5-0 by Pozoblanco after the President of Jerez International, Juan Manuel Delgado, refused to guarantee accommodation for 12 players offered in a last minute agreement by Hoddle. Hoddle then refused to let the players travel and the side was forced to field the youth squad. Several in the crowd called for the resignation of Delgado.

La Voz Digital newspaper reports that now the youth team and fans of Jerez Industrial will travel to Sotgrande on Thursday to demonstrate outside the house which Glenn Hoddle has in Sotogrande in an attempt to find a solution to the situation.
The local Spanish press claims that the documents originally drawn up for the deal, may not even be legal.
