The Double Ds' cost-cutting exercise continues unabated with the news that PR man Phil Hall is the latest to be dumped in the big Boleyn shake-up.

Hall - who is now working for disgraced Chelsea captain John Terry in an advisory capacity - had been brought in most recently by the club's previous administration but has had his contract terminated by mutual consent, according to PR Week.

Hall revealed that he had agreed to end his contract - which was due to expire in April - early, adding: "I hope that when things are on a better financial footing, there may be a chance to return in a professional capacity."

The former News of the World editor who started his career as a journalist working for the Dagenham Post was also employed by the club during Alan Pardew's tenure as manager back in 2006.

He joins a list including former CEO Scott Duxbury and ex-players Tony Cottee and Tony Gale to have left the club's payroll since Sullivan and Gold's recent takeover. More cuts are expected to follow.
