Steve Dolby a former boss at the Moat Ground is also named as a possible applicant as is former Atherstone United manager Kenny Willis who knows the non-league scene very well and is used to working with a tight budget.

Chairman Mark Evans and his fellow directors will have a tough decision to make but Evans as hinted that Rovers might shy away from appointing another "big name" former player saying; "It may be time for us to make a different type of appointment. We may possibly go for someone who is close to the club geographically and look at someone with good experience and coaching credentials."
