This was manager Micky Adams' first season in his second spell at the club, having previously managed Brighton from 1999 to 2001. Adams was sacked on 21 February 2009, after a poor run of form left the side in the relegation zone.[2] Former Yeovil Town manager Russell Slade took over the reins on 6 March,[3] and guided the side to safety on the final day of the season, after the Seagulls had been eight points adrift with six games to play.[4]
