Sanchez Out!
By: Andrew | December 21st, 2007Well, it was only a matter of time and this morning, Fulham fans woke up to news that Lawrie Sanchez had been sacked. This from the club website:
Fulham Football Club today announced its decision to replace Lawrie Sanchez as Manager of Fulham Football Club with immediate effect. Ray Lewington and Billy McKinlay will be in charge of the team whilst a search for a permanent replacement takes place.
Following a run of disappointing results the Club is languishing in the relegation zone of the Premier League table, and losing its Premiership status is a proposition that simply can not be contemplated at this stage in the Club’s on-going development.
The Club is confident that it will find the right replacement to increase its chances of remaining in the Premiership, which is of vital importance.
The Club would like to thank Lawrie for helping the Club through a difficult period at the end of last season, and thank him for his service over the last eight months.
This is excellent news for the club. There have been various rumors swirling that John Collins, the Hiberian manager of late, would take over the reigns. Given his track record with Hibs, fans couldn’t ask for anything more. He would certainly give the side confidence, create a tactic that doesn’t involve kicking and running and inspire us to a high midtable finish.
But, for tomorrow, the most important game of the season, Ray Lewington, a reserve team coach, will take charge. Here’s to a new era!
