Many Blackpool supporters have been reacting to the latest announcement from the club that manager Simon Grayson has been relieved of his duties at Bloomfield Road.

Grayson only returned to Blackpool in the summer with the club looking to bring him back to the club to try and help them mount a push for promotion to the Championship this season, and the Tangerines did manage to make a solid start to the campaign being in and around the top six for the first few months of the season.

The Tangerines suffered a last minute defeat at home to Gillingham on Tuesday night, despite having taken a lead into half time and then having to come from behind to tie the game up at 2-2 in the first minute of stoppage time, but 95^th minute winner from Brandon Hanlan for the Gills endured that the pressure would be ramped up even further on Grayson.
