02 Nov 2009 BRIGHTON AND SLADE PART COMPANY
Brighton & Hove Albion have parted company with manager Russell Slade.
Slade, was appointed manager in March following the departure of Micky Adams and enjoyed immediate success by ensuring they avoided relegation from Coca-Cola League One.
Brighton chairman Tony Bloom stated;
"It is not a decision we have taken lightly and one taken with a heavy heart.
"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."
Slade has previously taken charge of Yeovil Town, Scarborough, Sheffield United and Grimsby Town.
He has twice led clubs to play-off finals in establishing a reputation for making the most of limited resources.
