The 57-year-old took charge on Christmas Eve 2015, but after winning only six of their 26 league games this campaign the club are in the relegation zone on goal difference.

Last term, Chesterfield finished in the same position they were in when Wilson took over, but are now 22nd in the table.
Former Hartlepool stalwart Ritchie Humphreys has been named as caretaker manager at the Proact Stadium.
Director & company secretary Ashley Carson said: “We feel that a change to the management team is necessary at this time to give us the best possible chance of securing our League One status. We hope to be able to announce a new management team soon.
“We would like to thank Danny and Chris for their efforts and wish them all the best for the future.”
Wilson played over 600 times in the Football League, and managed eight clubs - with his greatest success taking Barnsley to the Premier League in 1997.
