Managers: Davis, Wilson and Page depart – updated EFL managers table

9 January 2017

Three EFL clubs parted company with their respective managers on Sunday and Monday with the halway point of the 2016/17 season reached.

Chesterfield and Crewe Alexandra both made the decision to make changes on Sunday, with Danny Wilson and Steve Davis leaving their roles.

Wilson and the Spireites part ways with the club sitting 22nd in Sky Bet League One after a weekend defeat to Bradford City.

Crewe, who were relegated from League One last term, are now 18th in Sky Bet League Two and on a run of seven winless games, with five of those being defeats.

They have moved swiftly in appointing a replacement for Davis, who was the third longest serving EFL manager, with former club captain David Artell taking over.

There was further movement on Monday when Northampton Town dismissed manager Rob Page following their 5-0 defeat at Bristol Rovers.

That was the Cobblers' ninth defeat in 11 outings and chairman Kelvin Thomas felt it was time for change.

“We are disappointed to make this decision regarding Rob, however following the recent run of results we feel that a change is necessary," he told ntfc.co.uk.
 
“Rob has always been extremely professional throughout his time and has only ever wanted the club to be successful. It was always going to be a very tough challenge following last year and the expectation that created, so we thank him for his efforts and we wish him very well for the future."
