Eyre and Bunn sacked
Dale boss Steve Eyre and his assistant Frankie Bunn have been sacked by the board of directors at Dale today.
The decision comes with Dale sat firmly in the relegation zone, with just four wins in the league all season.
Chris Beech has been put in temporary charge, and it is likely that he will remain so for the Boxing Day clash with Tranmere Rovers.
A full look back at Eyre's time at Dale will appear this week.
