Swindon Chairman Jeremy Wray has announced that manager Paul Hart and assistant, Ian McParland, have left the club.
He said: "Paul Hart and Ian McParland inherited a very difficult position and while ultimately the club was unsuccessful in its fight against relegation, I have no doubt that Paul and Ian made every effort to preserve Swindon Town’s League One status. The board would like to place on record its gratitude for all the energy and efforts expended by Paul and Ian during their time with the club.We have appointed Paul Bodin as caretaker manager until the end of the 2010/11 season. The search for a new manager begins immediately."
Hart said: "I would like to thank the board, the supporters and most of all the players for their support over the last seven weeks. I feel sure that Swindon Town Football Club will be back in its rightful position very soon."
As readers will no doubt be aware, I rated Hart very highly and felt he was let down by just about everyone at the County Ground.
I wish Paul Bodin well and - who knows - this might be a great opportunity for him. At the very least, his son, striker Billy, should now get a game!
