Woking sack manager Anthony Limbrick after three wins in 26 games

Woking have sacked manager Anthony Limbrick with five games of the season remaining after winning just three of their last 26 matches.
The Cards are fighting for their status having amassed only 16 points from a possible 78.
A 2-1 defeat at relegation rivals Torquay yesterday left three points above the drop and the club board have now made the decision to parts ways with Limbrick.
The 34-year-old was handed a contract until 2020 last summer to coincide with a three-year plan to reach the League.
After a promising start to the season, Woking have tumbled down the division and are now in serous danger of suffering relegation to the .
The understands Karl Sharman, who was instrumental in bringing Limbrick to Woking and also played a key part in the club’s player recruitment this season, left the Surrey-based side last month.
Woking legend Geoff Chapple, who has been the director of football at the club for a number of years, will oversee the remaining five games.
Meanwhile, off the pitch,  understands Woking will know within the next six weeks if their long-awaited takeover will happen or not.
It is our understanding a ‘yes or no’ decision on the long-awaited deal will be made in the coming weeks.
The Cards’ started a new era last May, announcing a potential investor, who has since been revealed by The NLP as a property developer.
It is believed around 250 flats would be built surrounding the club’s current ground and Woking Borough Council would be highly supportive of the idea, but the plans have still not been submitted.
It is unclear how the club will benefit from the property deal although Woking have consistently said the investment will “secure the long-term future of the club.”
