Darlington have interviewed Mark Cooper about their vacant managerial job.
The former Kettering and Peterboro man has expressed an interest in the vacancy at Edgar Street but, with Graham Turner preferring to take his time on an appointment, Cooper has met Darlington chairman Raj Singh.
The Northern Echo says ex-Bristol City man Gary Johnson, former Barnsley man Simon Davey, and ex-Yeovil boss Russell Slade have also expressed an interest in the post with Singh interviewing several candidates this week.
Former Middlesboro defender Curtis Fleming, former Quakers boss Mick Tait, and ex-Bulls defender Kevan Smith - a former Darlington captain - watched their Tuesday loss to Aldershot and are all in the frame.
Singh wants to name a new manager as soon as possible so that they get a chance to assess the current squad and build for next season ahead of their almost inevitable relegation.
