Chairman John Berylson, speaking on the club's website said."This was a hard decision to take because we very much hoped that Ollie would prove to be the man to take us forward and on to the next level."
"I would like to thank him for his efforts, and in particular for keeping us in the Championship last May."
"This season, though, has proved to be an extremely challenging one and we now find ourselves facing another uphill battle to avoid relegation."
The club are 23rd in the table currently, eight points from safety.
