Gannon quiet over bust-up
Port Vale manager Jim Gannon refused to be drawn on recent turbulent events at the club, despite his side dispelling much of the gloom with a 2-1 win at Aldershot.
Marc Richards notched his 15th of the season as Gannon ended a nightmare week on a high with three points. John McCombe had opened the scoring before Richards' winning strike, with Peter Vincenti notching a consolation goal for the Shots.
Gannon said: "It would have been a travesty if we hadn't come away with the win. The lads played really well - if you look at the stats for the game we dominated it. We had 65% of the possession, 10 shots on target, and lots of other good chances.
"Of course there were tough periods in the game, and I think the little downpour of rain throughout contributed to that.
"The club have made a statement about the events of the last day. It is an internal matter, subject to a disciplinary hearing, so I think the most professional thing to do is to leave it in the hands of the club.
"The club are looking to sort it out on Monday. Geoff (Horsfield - Port Vale assistant) was not here at the game, and that was also the club's decision."
