BREAKING: I'm In Charge Here!
COOPER OUT. POWER IN.
Swindon Town chairman Lee Power has taken temporary charge of first team affairs after watching his side lose 2-0 at Millwall today.
The club have parted company with manager Mark Cooper, who has been in charge for just over two years and who led Town to the play-off finals in May.
Swindon currently lie 20th in League One, just one place off the relegation zone, after a poor start to the season that has seen them lose seven of the last eight games.
The full statement from STFC reads as follows:
"SWINDON Town can today confirm that they parted company with Mark Cooper at the weekend.
Mark Cooper's Last Game
League One
RESULT: Millwall 2 Swindon Town 0
Millwall scorers: Gregory 19, O'Brien 26
Two goals in seven first half minutes were enough to see off a ramshackle Town at The Den today - and see Mark Cooper relieved of his duties as the Swindon boss.
The first nail in the coffin for the manager came after 19 minutes.
Lee Gregory found space between two Swindon defenders before slotting low past Vigouroux.
The lead was doubled soon after.
A loose ball found O'Brien, who was only too happy to thunder the ball past the stricken Town keeper.
The defeat - Swindon's seventh in eight games - leaves them just one point off the relegation zone and with chairman Lee Power is temporary control.
