Hakan Hayrettin defended his opposite number after Maidstone completed the perfect bank holiday weekend - describing his treatment as disgraceful.
Aldershot fans turned on manager Mark Molesley and the club’s board after United followed Saturday’s 1-0 win over Torquay with a 3-1 success at the Rec on Monday.
While chuffed with another victory, Hayrettin moved quickly to condemn the toxic atmosphere at full-time following a fifth defeat in six National League games for the new-look Shots. “He shouldn’t get the sack,” said Hayrettin. “I think it’s disgraceful.
It’s no good. “He’s friend of mine, full of knowledge, full of experience, you don’t become a bad manager overnight. “We don’t know certain clubs’ restraints, or whatever they are, but what I do know is he’s an exceptional manager and he’s an exceptional guy, and he’ll do it his way and he’ll be fine.” Maidstone moved on to 10 points from six games after Regan Booty’s penalty and headers from Jack Barham and Bivesh Gurung in a five-minute spell after half-time.
