Albion have sacked managr Russell Slade after eight months in charge.

The Albion manager was relieved of his duties today, following the 3-3 draw with Hartlepool United at Withdean yesterday.

Chairman Tony Bloom said: "It is not a decision we have taken lightly and one taken with a heavy heart.

"Russell is a good man - which made it an even harder decision to take - but it is one which has been made in the club's best interests.

"Like all Albion fans, I am extremely grateful for Russell's achievements at the end of last season, as he kept us in League One against the odds."

Slade added, "I am extremely sad that things have not worked out - but we have parted on good terms.

"I felt we were progressing through a much-needed and vital rebuilding process; that was never going to be easy with the large turnover of players during the close season.

"Whoever the club appoints will inherit a squad with enormous potential and an extremely supportive fan base. The supporters have been first class throughout my time here - and I would like to place on record my thanks to them.

"I'd also like to thank those staff and players, who worked so hard for me during the past eight months, and of course Dick Knight for giving me the opportunity to manage the club in the first place."

Assistant manager Dean White and first-team coach Bob Booker are also leaving the club.

Martin Hinshelwood will takeover as caretaker manager, assisted by Steve Brown and Charlie Oatway.

Bloom added, "Dean and Bob have both played a huge part in the club's history, not least in the three most-recent promotion successes. I would like to thanks them for their commitment over the past nine years."

I think you all owe "Greeno" a apology

 

[skipper734]

Chuckle Bruvers gone too.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Dean White and Booker also leaving!

So I guess Hinsh and Brown will be looking after things for the time being.

Greeno, good tip. Now, you said that we wouldn't believe you if you told us how you knew.
Now we believe you, how DID you know?

Shame

Ban The Large One.

Mr B,

Wycombe?

ps You up for some DJ Hero lessons if I get it?

Yeah, Wycombe would be great. How you doing? What's DJ Hero? If it's a computer game then probably not. I'm old and like reading books and moaning.

Having a good clean out, shame to see slade go, dont want hinslewood in charge for to long, so come on bloom get it sorted before next saturday

 

[Foolg]

Its a shame, but really had to happen with the current results and games coming up!
Wish Russel all the best, what he did last year saved our back, and without him we would be sitting in league 2 playing against some serious shite!
Lets hope someone has been lined up, those wanting curbs i think should get realistic, seeing as he's favourite for the hull job.
Best of luck too to white and booker, despite what people said they deserve our best wishes!
Cheers russ

Greeno, good call mate, but don't except any apologises from most of the fuckers who hammered you in your thread.
If you're as new as your post count suggests, you'll soon learn there a lot of sad fuckers on here, who hate not being "in the know"

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Very sad - out of the frying pan

But the silver lining I suspect is that White has gone. No idea how he lasted so long.
