Wilson
Emerges As A Favourite
7th June 2006
Later this week, Lincoln City chairman Steff Wright will
continue interviewing candidates for the vacant Lincoln
City's manager position.
No names have been mentioned but developments elsewhere
has left Danny Wilson as a strong favourite to land The
Imps' job.
On Monday, unemployed manager John Gorman made a quick
return to management when Northampton Town named him as
successor to Colin Calderwood, who has departed for
Nottingham Forest.
Gorman has publicly admitted applying for the Lincoln
City post but Northampton's approach came before Lincoln
could follow up the interest.
Meanwhile, former Grimsby Town manager Russell Slade has
today been named as Yeovil Town's new manager. Slade had
been linked to the Lincoln job after he left county
rivals Grimsby Town last week. However, Slade remained an
outsider for The Imps' post because Yeovil quickly
emerged as the favourites to recruit him.
Also today, Exeter City's manager Alex Inglethorpe has
quit the club in readiness of moving to a club higher in
the football pyramid. Exeter had received an approach
from MK Dons for Inglethorpe but it is believed that he
will join Tottenham Hotspur as a youth team coach. The
linking of Inglethorpe to Lincoln is inevitable but it
seems that there is little fact to rumour.
Legendary Imps' striker John Ward is the Lincoln City
supporters' choice for the job but Ward is presently in
contract negotiations with his current club Cheltenham
Town. Should Ward opt to stay with newly promoted
Cheltenham then Wilson will certainly rank highly as
Lincoln City's supporters new number one choice.
Wilson has recently stated that he would consider a
return to management with a League Two club. He has
already admitted his willingness to speak to Hartlepool
United about their vacant manager's job.
Wilson is vastly experienced at management having taken
Barnsley into the Premiership several seasons ago. He
later joined Sheffield Wednesday, then of the
Premiership. A couple of seasons ago, he came close to
leading Bristol City to promotion from League One.
