Gannon Quits Port Vale

As expected Jim Gannon has quit as manager of Port Vale.

"Port Vale has parted company with Jim Gannon with immediate effect.

Mark Grew is Caretaker Manager and will be in charge of first-team affairs, starting with tomorrow night's fixture.

The club is unable to make any further comment at this time".

Gannon was in charge at Vale for just 74 days. He came in afer Micky Adams moved on.

Out of 15 games, he won four and lost seven.

53 year old Mark Grew was a goalkeeper who started his career in 1976 with West Bromwich Albion.
