But he departs amid controversy with the fans, having had to explain himself earlier this week following some post-match comments.After beating Barnsley in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, the Posh boss appeared to make a sarcastic remark towards supporters and their wishes. Following a decision to switch to playing two strikers up front, he said: “If that’s what everyone wants, two strikers, then the middle of the pitch will be empty and it’s then impossible to control the game, but I’m here to try and give everyone what they want.”He went on to clarify his comments on Thursday, but some fans were left surprised by his quotes.And now, they have seen Williams sacked just seven games into the new League One campaign.
