Axed Todd questions Quakers chief
Singh had informed his manager last week that he and player-coach Dean Windass would go if Darlington did not secure their first win of the season against fellow strugglers Grimsby on Saturday and it was left to Todd to make the announcement after his side's 1-1 draw at Blundell Park.
Todd, who insisted he had not resigned, said: "I spoke with the chairman after we had lost 2-0 at home to Bournemouth the previous weekend and they told me about different things they wanted to do and I said that would have been very unfair after just eight league games.
"I said I wanted a little bit more time. We then had a meeting on the Monday and I was told I had two games, against Grimsby and Rochdale, and that if we won against Grimsby we go on to the next one. That was the decision and I kept it from everybody, the players, Dean, who has left the club, even my wife.
"I kept it all to myself because I honestly believed we could win. I was then left to deal with the media after the game. I told them it had been the chairman's decision, that it was out of my hands and I said I think he should have been here to face you guys.
"I could have said nothing to the media afterwards and put the onus back on the chairman. But I've done the honourable thing. But now you're left to wonder, if they take two points from the next nine games, what happens then?"
