Birmingham City sack manager Lee Clark after disappointing run

Birmingham City have parted company with manager Lee Clark following a poor start to their 2014-15 Championship season.

The Blues are one place outside the relegation zone having won just two of their 12 league games so far, and only retained their second-tier status in the final seconds of the last campaign.

A statement on the club's official website read: "Birmingham City Football Club has parted company with Lee Clark and Steve Watson with immediate effect.

"The search for a successor has already begun and the board will look to make an appointment in the very near future."

Clark's fate was sealed following a 1-0 home defeat to Bolton on Saturday, which leaves them five points above bottom club Blackpool.
