Former Crawley Town boss Steve Evans is sacked by Peterborough
Posh are sixth in League One but some indifferent recent performances have led to Evans and his assistant Paul Raynor being shown the door. They drew 0-0 at home to Charlton Athletic today.
Evans was manager of Crawley Town during their most successful period between 2007 and 2012, which included reaching the fifth round of the FA Cup twice and playing at Old Trafford.
