Tranmere sack Barnes and McAteer

This can come as little surprise to anyone who's been watching results in League One:

Tranmere Rovers have sacked manager John Barnes and his number two Jason McAteer.

Tranmere have had a shocking start to the League One season, winning only two games, and losing eight out of 11. They sit 22nd out of 24, in a relegation place, with only seven points.

Patience had been wearing thin with the supporters, and now the board, and losing 2-1 at Bury in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy on Tuesday was the last straw.

Barnes and McAteer were appointed over the summer, but have failed to make any headway with Tranmere, who finished seventh in League One last season.
