Quotes from official site:
The Board of Aston Villa announce that they have accepted the resignation of the manager, Graham Taylor, OBE, with immediate effect.
Graham Taylor said: "Contrary to what may be perceived playing results are not the reason for my resignation and I had always believed that last season was going to be one of transition, particularly in respect of emerging young players.
"I would however point out that modern football, with its well publicised financial pressures, involves much wider issues than mere playing matters and those are a major factor in my decision."
Doug Ellis, Chairman of Aston Villa, expressed his sadness on behalf of the Board and Club at this resignation and said that the Board would now seek applications from suitable candidates with a view to interviews being held in June so that an appointment could be in place prior to the return of the players for pre-season training.
There will be no further comments from the Club
