Grimsby Sack Woods

Grimsby have sacked manager Neil Woods after their draw with Forest Green last night.

The Mariners are now ninth in their first Conference season, nine points short of the play-offs with just two games in hand. Last night's game was played in front of less than half the crowd for their first game at Blundell Park this season.

Woods was appointed from his coaching position with the club in October 2009, replacing Mike Newell, but couldn't prevent the side from being relegated. He won just 18 of 71 games in charge, and had won only one of the last seven games.

A club statement says they will not be appointing a new boss from within and have targeted a number of names to take charge.
