CEO Joe Palmer said: "It is with a genuinely heavy heart that I have to announce that we have parted company with Glyn.

"After a strong start to the season when the team was arguably over-performing, the recent run of results left us in a difficult position. We need to do everything to ensure our survival in League One and after a brief chat Glyn and I have agreed that a parting of the ways today is in the best interests of Wimbledon."
