It's no real surprise to see Mark Jackson leave Milton Keynes Dons.
Many fans will talk about the summer recruitment as the real reason for failure this season and in part that's warranted. I'm not alone in asking just how a club can be on the brink of promotion to the Championship and then be relegated to League Two within a calendar year? All parties must take responsibility for that, Jackson included.
The former Leeds man had 25 games to turn things around and only managed six wins. Two of those were against Forest Green Rovers, who finished cut adrift at the bottom of the table.
He did manage three wins on the spin in March that raised hopes the corner was turned but finished the season without a win in the final eight games. I think Jackson himself would find it hard to fight his corner in these circumstances.
It is important though to make sure that Jackson alone doesn't carry the can for relegation. Sporting director Liam Sweeting and chairman Pete Winkelman have got a lot wrong this season and are just as much to blame as Jackson is. It would be hard for either of them to argue against that
