Dave Robertson: Peterborough United sack manager

Peterborough United have sacked manager Dave Robertson after winning just one of their first six games in League One this season.

The 41-year-old was appointed on a three-year deal in May, having been in caretaker charge since February.

"I felt it was time to take action and make a change," Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony said in a club statement. 

"It had become plain to see our young squad was under-performing and playing nowhere near their potential."

He added: "Make no mistake, our players must also shoulder responsibility for this awful start to the season which has now led to a great person losing their job."
