Wycombe and Taylor part company
Wycombe Wanderers have parted company with manager Peter Taylor by mutual consent after their disappointing start to the League One season.
Taylor led the Chairboys to promotion from League Two last season but they are second from bottom in the table and have not won since 29 August.
His assistant Junior Lewis has also left the Adams Park club.
Head of youth development Richard Dobson will take caretaker charge for Saturday's game with Gillingham.
Taylor took over in May 2008 and led them to promotion in his first season, but results this term have cost him his job.
The 56-year-old has had a mixed managerial career, leading Gillingham, Brighton, Hull and Wycombe to promotions but having less illustrious spells at Leicester, Crystal Palace and Stevenage Borough.
He has also managed England Under-21s and been the country's senior caretaker boss for a friendly with Italy in 2000, when he made David Beckham England's captain for the first time.
Chairboys owner Steve Hayes told the club website: "Peter is an honourable man and he knew that it was time to move on.
"He came to me and said he was very disappointed with the way the season has begun and understood that things had to change.
"He leaves with our thanks and best wishes for the future and I want to place on record our gratitude for the excellent job he did for us last season in getting us promoted.
"Wycombe have a reputation for appointing good managers and I'm sure we'll get plenty of high calibre applicants.
"Peter's successor will inherit an excellent squad of players and with 35 games still to play we're confident that our league position will improve."
