Carlisle United have sacked manager Roddy Collins following comments made by the Irishman after yesterday's 1-0 defeat to Shrewsbury Town.
Former Bohs boss Collins announced his intention to leave Brunton Park unless the club was sold by current owner Michael Knighton to Irish businessman John Courtenay before Wednesday.
His remarks infuriated the Cumbrians board of directors who moved quickly to dismiss the United boss.
Carlisle are just six points above second-bottom Lincoln in Division Three although Halifax's relegation has ensures their Football League status.
