Spireites delay decision on new manager
CHESTERFIELD have still not revealed the identity of the man who will replace Lee Richardson as manager.
Sheffield Wednesday's 1991 League Cup hero John Sheridan is hot favourite to be named with tomorrow being the likely day. Should the former Irish International get the nod, one of his first tasks would be to make a decision on Richardson's assistant Scott Sellars.
The pair were teammates at Leeds United in the mid 1980s so Sheridan will know what his former midfield colleague has to offer. Sellars, aged 43, is out of contract at the end of this month so will be hoping that his tenure at Saltergate will be extended.
Mark Crossley, the former Nottingham Forest keeper, could also be involved in the coaching department if Sheridan is the successful candidate.
Chesterfield's backroom team includes one-time Blade Shane Nicholson, the fitness coach, Spireites' 1997 FA Cup semi-final heroes Jamie Hewitt (physio) and Mark Jules, who runs the centre of excellence, while ex-Miller Dave Bentley is youth manager.
Elsewhere in League Two, Port Vale are about to reveal their new boss, with Micky Adams the hot tip. Darlington's new manager is Colin Todd, and newly-promoted Burton Albion named former Blade Paul Peschisolido as boss.
