Yeovil have announced that their proposed takeover is off after they failed to agree terms with the interested party.

The Glovers' relegation to the National League was confirmed with one game to go of the Sky Bet League Two season and they will return to non-league football for the first time since 2003.

But their search for new investment continues, as does the search for a new manager, with interim boss Neale Marmon also leaving Huish Park as a result of the failed takeover bid.
