Speculation mounts as multiple managers linked with Notts County job

The rumour mill has gone into overdrive at managerless Notts County as a wide array of names have been tipped to take over the reins at Meadow Lane.

Notts, who have had three managers in the hotseat during the past 12 months, find themselves without a boss once again after Mark Cooper left the club right after the last game of the season - a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Carlisle United - to join Forest Green Rovers.

The Lincolnshire Echo claims that Braintree Town manager Danny Cowley is the subject of a tug-of-war between the Magpies and local rivals Lincoln City.

Cowley has been sensational for the part-time Essex club this season, guiding them to the National League playoffs despite having a day job as a PE teacher.

Former Crawley Town boss Mark Yates, meanwhile, is being interviewed for the vacant managerial position at Notts, according to Sky Sports.

The 46-year-old, who was reportedly in the running to become the Forest Green manager before Cooper was hired instead, has been out of work since leaving the Red Devils last month.

Former Notts title-winning manager Steve Cotterill is also not tied to a club at the moment and, despite no reports of the 51-year-old being in talks with the Magpies, he has been named as the man most Notts fans want to see back at the club's helm, according to the Nottingham Post.
