Copied this summary from another site. Like the bit about the subs calling on Coleman to knock out Gannon.
There was a bust-up between manager Jim Gannon and some of his squad before the game v Accrington today. He didn't travel with them on the coach and Geoff Horsfield was sent scouting. Both Gary Roberts and Louis Dodds were dropped.
There was then an altercation during the game over the use of the multi-ball system which saw some Vale substitutes calling on Accrington manager John Coleman to knock Gannon out. Sean Rigg was sent off with ten minutes remaining and then after the game 50 Vale fans surrounded the team coach and directors cars and Exodus Geohaghon had to be pulled away from fighting with fans by Justin Richards and Tom Pope. Gannon was also pulled away and the players had to be kept inside the ground for their own safety.
Gannon was not permitted to meet his players in the dressing room, he later left the Crown Ground in a car before his players left on the team coach.
Gannon refused to talk to press but captain Marc Richards said: “I’ve never seen anything like it, not to this extent. There’s a lot of frustration amongst the fans. They’ve paid their money so have a right to express their feelings. I think they were a bit harsh on Ex, though. There was a lot of abuse heading his way but he’s trying his hardest, just as we all are.”
Vale slipped out of the play-off places today after losing 3-0 to Accrington. Gannon isn't likely to be there much longer.

Bizarre stuff, usually a manager is sacked long before it gets to this stage.

Bloody hell the sh!t has really hit the fan there hasn't it. Didn't they have to drop horsfield off the coach a couple of weeks back when he and gannon had a bust-up.
