Gainsborough Trinity chairman Richard Kane says he's been impressed with the number of e-mails and letters he's received for the vacant manager role.

He says he hopes to have a new management team in place before the double-header against Gloucester City and Curzon Ashton next weekend.

The Blues are looking for a new manager after Dom Roma handed in his resignation following the club's home defeat against Alfreton Town.

Mr Kane says: "There've been some very interesting candidates to think about and it has been a good challenge identifying the people that I – and the board - want to talk to. 

"What is vitally important is that the new man that comes in understands what we are trying to build here and will complement our standing in the community and help drive us on," he adds.
