Wright Sacked By Posh

Mark Wright has been sacked by Peterborough after Wright failed to attend a disciplinary meeting.

Wright was suspended apparently after dropping Irish midfielder Sean St Ledger following an argument between the player and coach Steve Bleasdale. Bleasdale is now the Caretaker Manager after a string of assistant jobs following Wright around various clubs.

The official club statement reads: 'It is with regret that the club announce the dismissal of Mr Mark Wright on the grounds of gross misconduct. A disciplinary hearing was held today when all matters were considered and the full evidence was investigated. Mr Wright failed to attend this hearing. The Board thereafter felt that there was no alternative but to take this course of action. The club feel badly let down particularly after giving Mark a chance to re-establish himself within the football community. With immediate effect, Mr Steve Bleasdale will take over all football related matters.'
