Slade sacked by Albion
Brighton and Hove Albion, 18:14, November 1, 2009 ,
Russell Slade has been sacked by Brighton after the League One club got the season off to a poor start.
Slade saved the Seagulls from the drop to League Two after taking over in March from Micky Adams and was rewarded with a two-year deal for his efforts.
However with Brighton sitting just two points above the drop zone, chairman Tony Bloom has decided it is now time for a change.
"It is not a decision we have taken lightly and one taken with a heavy heart," Bloom revealed. "Russell is a good man, which made it an even harder decision to take, but it is one which has been made in the club's best interests.
"Like all Albion fans I am extremely grateful for Russell's achievements at the end of last season, as he kept us in League One against the odds."
