The club have announced a press conference for 10.30 tomorrow morning, to introduce the new manager.

There have not, as yet, been any leaks of the possible name, although the speed of the appointment does suggest a man out of work and not too far away.

The bookmaker’s favourites list would seem to be the most likely place to find the name of the new man, assuming Bonser does not want to start riots by re-appointing Merson, so take your pick from:-

Keith Curle, Ian Atkins, Paul Hart, Mick Harford, Gary Megson, Andy King, Colin Lee, Chris Nicholl, Graham Rix, Steve Claridge, Ray Graydon, Simon Osborn, Mark Kinsella, Martin O’Connor and Mick Halsall!
