Wilson sacked as Barnsley boss

League One side Barnsley have sacked manager Danny Wilson and assistant boss Chris Hutchings. Wilson led Barnsley to the Premiership in 1997, returned to Oakwell for a second spell as boss in December 2013, but was unable to stop them being relegated last season.

In a statement, the club called the current league position "unacceptable".

Academy coach Mark Burton and development coach Paul Heckingbottom have been placed in caretaker charge for the game against struggling Crawley on Saturday.
