Birmingham City have sacked manager Lee Clark and his assistant Steve Watson. Blues, 21st in the Championship, have placed first-team coach Richard Beale and chief scout Malcolm Crosby in temporary charge at St Andrew's. Former Huddersfield boss Clark, 41, was appointed in June 2012 and led Birmingham to 12th in his first season in charge, before they avoided relegation on the final day last term. "The search for a successor has already begun," a club statement confirmed. "The board will look to make an appointment in the very near future." Clark - along with his Huddersfield backroom staff of Terry McDermott and Derek Fazackerley - steered the club to mid-table in their first season, despite off-field difficulties with the club up for sale. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29691125

Should have let him carry on, they have very little money these days and he avoided relegation last season. Birmingham are one of my least favourit clubs so not going to loose any sleep over it!

No surprise given their dire home record, only one home win out of the last 24.
