Went to have a look for a new motor yesterday at my local car dealership in Stretford, who should i see sitting across the showroom but Jim Gannon.
I assumed he was there as a customer, but after i commented to the salesman that Mental Jim was an ex footballer and manager, he called over his boss and said "hey dave, whats the new blokes name"
His boss said "what, you mean Jim?"
It was his first day in the job!!!
Seems he's come to the end of the footballing road, and not before time.
and for the "photo or it didn't happen" brigade

Was he attempting to persuade customers not to buy black cars?  |

Was Gannon the Vale manager who got off the team bus in the middle of an argument?? Among other things yeh. Think my favourite story about his time at Vale is a Bally-esque episode at Accrington. As he was coming off at half time a Vale fan threw a full portion of chips at him, and one of the players Griffiths i think, picked up a chip from behind Gannon, ate it and winked at the fans. The players absolutely hated him. |

What were you doing?! You shoulda demanded to deal with Jim Gannon and put this plan into action. Total waste of time for your bank holiday like, but you'd have been making a lot of people very happy  |

He was being shown around by a salesman so i just assumed he was buying a motor. |

If I remember rightly Geoff Horsfield requested a day off to deal with a personal issue,Gannon agreed to this but While Horsfield was away Gannon contacted the board to complain about him! He upset the Vale coaching staff in the first few days by telling them they were all under qualified! And so it goes on.....he made more enemies in two months at Vale Park than Neil Warnock has in over 30 years of football management |

What did Jim Gannon call Mark Stein?
A "short, ugly, black, bean-headed, twat" as I recall from the ensuing enquiry.
Grotesquely offensive, but at the same time with the exception of the emphasising qualifier at the end not entirely innacurate.
Anyone recall what Steino did to bring about this astonishing outbreak of invective?

It's on OVF now.
I was said chip-chucker. The man was an absolute nut job. I assume he'll be taking the engine out of cars prior to sale, much like he took out our best players prior to squad selection. Bellend.
I'm glad we have new owners, the last lot would have no doubt taken him back in some capacity. Saying that, he's no worse at PR than Micky Adams.

Imagine him taking someone out for a test drive? If his new career is anything like his tenure at Vale Park, he'd probably end up falling out with the prospective customer before being dumped miles from the showroom and having to ask his boss to come and pick him up, minus one brand new Nissan Cube*.
*speculative.
