Fulham Sack Sanchez After Eight Months In Charge

Fulham sacked manager Lawrie Sanchez on Friday after he had been in charge at Craven Cottage for just eight months.

The club said in a statement on their Web site (www.fulhamfc.com) the decision was taken after a disappointing run of results had left them languishing in the relegation zone of the Premier League.

"Losing its Premiership status is a proposition that simply can not be contemplated at this stage in the club's on-going development," the statement said.
