Simon Grayson sacked by Huddersfield

Very similar to the Adkins sacking albeit a division below. He has brought two clubs up from League 1 to the Championship now and cant seem to catch a break. The insanity of football.

Do managers even feel pressure any more i wonder? I mean even if your winning, it seems if the chairman gets a funny idea into their head or wake up at the wrong side of the bed then the manager gets sacked. 7 days before the transfer window closes and they sack their manager instead of giving him funds to buy a player or two

Huddersfield Town have parted company with manager Simon Grayson with immediate effect.
Grayson led Town back to the Championship at the end of 2011-12 but results have not been positive this season and they sit in 18th place, seven points above the relegation zone.
The 4-0 defeat by Watford last weekend appears to have been the breaking point for Grayson, with Town's only win since 10 November having come in the third round of the FA Cup against Charlton.
Chairman Dean Hoyle told the club's official website: "In making this decision, we have thought long and hard. It has been made with both the short term and long term needs of the club in mind.
"We brought Simon in with the immediate aim to lead us to promotion and he did that at the first attempt. It is an achievement for which we are grateful.
"After exceeding all our expectations in the early part of the season, our results and performances as a team and from individual players have tailed off alarmingly."
Dean Hoyle Quotes of the week
"We knew the transition to Championship football would be difficult and our targets for this season have been realistic, with retention of our status the priority.
"However, having worked so hard to get back into the second tier we have to do everything we can to consolidate that position. After exceeding all our expectations in the early part of the season, our results and performances as a team and from individual players have tailed off alarmingly.
"Worsening displays have accompanied a run of just six points and no wins from the last 12 league games, including some very heavy defeats, culminating at Watford last Saturday.
"Whilst we would all have hoped for even some modest signs of improvement to begin to emerge as the weeks have passed that has not been the case. This has made the position untenable.
"We will now seek to recruit a new manager who can, in the short term, lead and reinvigorate the team and players for the remainder of this season and also drive us forward towards our long term aims.

Just like at Leeds, he deserved better. Not on the best run but it wasnt that long ago they where competing for a playoff spot and it wouldnt take much to get them back up there.

Seven points clear of relegation at just past the half way point is pretty good for a newly promoted club. Dont sack him, give him funds to keep you up. Seems a lot of chairmen are looking at the Chelsea approach thesedays.
