    Hadn't they got promoted last season and doing OK? Just hit a bad patch.

    Weird sacking if so.

    The correct Askey.
    Former York boss John Askey has said he was "hurt" by the way he was sacked.

    The Minstermen sacked Askey, 58, on Wednesday after just over a year in charge of the National League club.

    He had led the club to promotion from National League North through the play-offs last season.

    "To have to stand in front of a printer and wait for a letter to be printed off and then be given it to see that I had been sacked... that hurt me more than anything," he told BBC Radio York.

    "I'm disappointed with how it's been done.

    "They talked about me coming in to talk to them and said it was about my contract. I said if it was about my contract I would need legal help and they said just to come in and pick the letter up. I think I deserve better than that. I think anybody does."

    York, who are 12th in the league, are without a win in all competitions since 15 October, but Askey claimed nobody from the board had suggested they were unhappy with the team's progress.

    However, the club released a second statement on Wednesday to say the former Macclesfield boss had told them at the start of this month that he wanted to leave.

    Sacking a manager a few months after a remarkable promotion. We would never do that at City….
