Darlington sack Staunton
Darlington have sacked Steve Staunton as manager.[LNB] In a statement released this morning chairman Raj Singh explained he had no alternative following yesterday's home defeat to Barnet.[LNB] It was watched by the club's lowest league attendance for 17 years and the loss represented the 17th in Staunton's 23-game tenure.[LNB] Singh said: "It was a disappointing performance and result, but the most disappointing side to yesterday was the attendance - a record low crowd told us a lot.[LNB] "We desperately wanted things to work out for Steve but it clearly wasn't to be and we'll have to take stock again. Our search for a new manager starts straight away."[LNB] Staunton was appointed as sucessor to Colin Todd in October but was unable to lift Quakers frmo the bottom of League Two and Darlington are heading for relegation.[LNB] Singh, who is yet to announce season ticket details for 2010-11, is looking to appoint a new manager quickly to give him as much time as possible ahead of next season.[LNB] In the meantime Craig Liddle and Neil Maddison are likely to take charge for Tuesday's home game with Aldershot Town.[LNB]
