Gills face Stimson fight

Gillingham's hopes of appointing Mark Stimson as their new manager have been hampered by the threat of legal action from Stevenage Borough.
Stimson resigned from his post with Boro a week ago and has been heavily linked with the vacant managerial post at Priestfield.
Boro chairman Phil Wallace told the club's official website: "In addition to finding a long-term replacement for Mark, I'm also dealing with the legalities of his resignation and the media speculation that he's going to Gillingham.
"If that happens without our consent there will be certain legal ramifications which we will pursue with all the means at our disposal.
"We simply will not allow our employment contracts to be manipulated for other people's gain, unless it's on our terms."
Stimson made his name with Grays Athletic, before taking charge at Broadhall Way in the summer of 2006.
