Tykes part company with boss Davey
The Tykes have had a torrid start to the season and currently sit bottom of the Championship, having picked up just one point from their opening five games.[LNB]Their poor form continued when they suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Reading at Oakwell and the two parties have agreed to go their separate ways.[LNB]A club statement read: "It is with regret that Barnsley Football Club and first team manager Simon Davey have tonight mutually agreed to part company.[LNB]"We would like to place on record our sincere thanks for all the hard work Simon has put in during his two-and-a-half tenure as manager and wish him every success in the future."[LNB]Davey was appointed to the Oakwell hotseat in November 2006 and helped guide the club to the FA Cup semi-finals in 2008, beating Liverpool and Chelsea before eventually bowing out to Cardiff at Wembley.[LNB]The club had a disappointing campaign last season, narrowly avoiding relegation back to League One, and despite an impressive pre-season and being given money to spend, Davey has now left the club.[LNB]After the home defeat to Reading, the home fans turned on Davey and demanded his dismissal but in his post-match conference, Davey gave no hint that his departure was imminent.[LNB]"We are as disappointed as them (the fans). We don't like losing. I am there with their frustration," he said.[LNB][LNB]
