Dale have today terminated the contracts of management duo John Coleman and Jimmy Bell after a disappointing twelve month spell in charge at Spotland.
With their first anniversary fast approaching, Dale took the decision to sack John Coleman today after a poor run of form left supporters in fear of a relegation battle.
Dale have lost eight out of their last ten matches, and supporter confidence had been eroded during this run, along with a home form and poor player discipline.
A replacement is expected to be named within the next few days and should be in charge for the trip to Cheltenham on Friday night,
