Wigan's 96th minute leveller means it was no win in the last nine games for Hudson.
To be honest he was walking a very thin tightrope anyway and even a win today may have only ofered a short stay of exectution.
A club statement read
'Cardiff City Football Club has relieved Mark Hudson of his duties as First Team Manager.
'The Board of Directors would like to place on record its thanks to Mark for all of his work as a player, coach and manager whilst with the Bluebirds. We wish Mark all the very best of luck for the future.
'At this time Dean Whitehead will take on the responsibility of interim First Team Manager. Tom Ramasut will remain as Assistant Manager and will be supported by Goalkeeping Coach Graham Stack.
'The Club’s search for a new permanent manager will begin immediately.'
Where the club goes now I have no idea. The structure from top to bottom is in turmoil.
A whole list of names have been linked already, Whitehead, Warnock, Dean Smith, Chris Wilder, the list goes on with any manager currently out of work given a price by the bookies.
