England's Wimbledon boss Egil Olsen walked out of the club with a red card, same as his striker, John Hartson who was sent off the game, Sunday, after a humiliating 3-0 loss to Bradford. 

Egil's red card came soon after his team lost eight successive matches throughout the last 14 years, which kept the team quite close to the bottom of the standing. 

Wimbledon's Club director, Bjorne Rune commented at a press conference, Monday as saying that the decision was not one sided, but Egil voted for it. 

"After the Bradford game I sat with Egil and we had a long talk together making the decision. We were both mature enough to realize that change had to be made." 

However, the recent Arrived assistant manager Terry Bruton was appointed to lead the team for the last two games of the season. 

Bruton has got the chance to prove his talent at Saturday's game when the club faces Aston Villa at home before traveling to Southampton on the last day of the season - (albawaba.com)
