Southport Visiter: New Southport FC manager Gary Brabin

Southport Visiter sports reports:

Southport manager Peter Davenport has left the club with immediate effect. Assistant Huw Griffiths has also left.

Recent results under Davenport were "unacceptable", according to Southport FC's vice-chairman.

The former England striker was surprisingly dismissed as manager of the Sandgrounders this morning.

Sam Shrouder revealed that with the team in its current position, the board felt a fresh start was necessary to make sure of promotion success.
Fan-favourite Gary Brabin has been drafted in for the side's final five league games of the season, and any potential play-off places.

The Southport official admitted that Saturday's 4-1 defeat to Solihull Moors was the nail in the coffin for Davenport and assistant Huw Griffiths, who are without a home league win in 2008.
