Russell Slade has quit Grimsby Town after failing to agree a new contract.
Slade, the former Scarboro boss who took Grimsby to this years League Two play-off final, rejected Grimsby's offer and gave the board an offer that he would accept. The two parties failed to agree, and the following statement appeared on the official Grimsby website: "It is with regret that the football club has failed to reach a contractual agreement with Russell Slade to be reappointed as the manager of GTFC.
"The board would like to put on record that Russell leaves the football club in an excellent position. In particular we have had an excellent season and Russell will be remembered for those good times.
"The football club will look to appoint a new manager as soon as it is practically possible. The board will be very mindful that this will have to be a person who is capable of taking the football club forward."
