Gannon could leave Stockport County

The Brighton Press is suggesting that Stockport County manager Jim Gannon could upsticks and move to the South Coast.

Brighton chairman Dick Knight is reported to be keen on securing Gannon for the manager's job after the club parted company with Micky Adams last week.

Should Gannon leave Stockport it would be another problem for the Hatters who have pressing demands from the Inland Revenue.

Gannon holds a full UEFA Pro coaching Licence and is a trained accountant.

Meanwhile Chester's assistant manager Steve Bleasdale has been sacked.

"Steve Bleasdale has left the football club," said manager Mark Wright.

"I'm not happy with certain things and both the chairman and myself have asked him to stay away."
