A club statement stated: "Differences between both parties regarding the direction of the club have led to a breakdown in the relationship."

Speculation about Allen's future had been growing for several days and despite the manager dismissing claims of a rift he and the club have parted company by mutual consent.

Chairman Milan Mandaric said: "Given our respective visions for the football club it was decided that it would be in the best interests if we parted company.

"Our main priority now is to focus on our match against Plymouth at Home Park on Saturday and ensure we stay on course for promotion this season.

"Academy manager Jon Rudkin, coach Steve Beaglehole and goalkeeping coach Mike Stowell will take over first team duties with immediate effect.

"Contrary to media speculation we do not have an immediate replacement. The search to appoint a successor now begins."
