Ten days have passed since the club parted company with John Hughes following relegation to League One, however, after two failed appointments in succession, the board is taking its time to identify the right candidate.

Rovers have seven first team players under contract for next season, but no decision will be taken on the future of any player, contracted or otherwise, until the new manager is in place.
