Darlington suspend manager

Darlington have reported this morning that their manager David Hodgson has been suspended. Neil Maddison will be charge for the present.

Chairman George Houghton is to conduct an internal inquiry 'to consider a range of issues relating to the performance of the club and the background to open speculation concerning another football club's contact with the manager.' The inquiry could take up to two weeks.

There is speculation that Hodgson has been linked with the manager's job at Bournemouth which is vacant since Sean O'Driscoll and ex Hereford United coach Richard O'Kelly moved to Doncaster.

Darlington visit Edgar Street in two weeks time.
