Billericay Town fans heading to the Bank Holiday Monday tie with St Albans City are expected to vent their frustrations against the club's millionaire owner Glenn Tamplin after manager Harry Wheeler was sacked after losing his first league game this season.

Wheeler was sacked by town owner Tamplin five minutes before the end of Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Chippenham Town, according to sources close to the club.

Tamplin sacked himself as manager after Billericay were knocked out of the FA Trophy quarter-finals by Wealdstone in February, with Wheeler telling Essex Live shortly after that he would be taking over as manager.

But Tamplin performed a U-turn less than 48 hours that announcement, saying it had been at the wishes of the players.

He stepped down again in April, allowing Wheeler to become manager but warning him he would be sacked if Ricay did not get promoted from the Bostik League Premier Division.

Winning the title with a game to spare, Wheeler had made an impressive start to the 2018/19 campaign, with a 1-1 draw with Concord Rangers and 2-0 away loss to Chippenham Town the only two blemishes.

But that record wasn't enough for Tamplin.

It is understood that head coach Tristan Lewis, brought into the backroom staff during the summer, will take charge of today's game.

Many fans have taken to social media to express their frustration since the news broke.
