Jamie Fullarton favourite for Notts County job as club announce Monday press conference

Notts County have confirmed that they will be announcing their new managerial appointment in a press conference on Monday.

Speculation is rife that the successful candidate is Nottingham Forest Under-21s development coach Jamie Fullarton, who jumped straight to the top of the bookies’ list to become odds-on favourite, and Colin Slater also suggested that the 41-year-old - who, like County's three previous managers, Chris Kiwomya, Shaun Derry and Ricardo Moniz, has no experience of managing an English football club - is favourite for the helm.

Interviews for the job were wrapped up on Friday, and Paul Hurst, the current Grimsby Town manager, is said to be out of the running and so too is Lee Clark, the former manager of Huddersfield Town and Blackpool. Mark Cooper and John Sheridan are still billed to be in the running, however.

The new manager will replace Ricardo Moniz, who was sacked following the 2-2 draw at home to Morecambe on December 29, and will have a week to work with the players after the Magpies' trip to Accrington Stanley was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.
