Johnson could be new Posh Manager

Gary Johnson, the former Yeovil and Bristol City manager, looks in line to become the new manager of Peterborough.

There had been some speculation that he might have been a contender for the vacant manager's post at Edgar Street but it was always on the cards he would get another job with a higher grade side.

Meanwhile, another perhaps more likely contender Mark Cooper seems very hopeful he will soon be in charge at Darlington despite the odds-on probability they will be in the Conference next season.

"I’m ambitious and want to get back into management and want to get back to winning games which is what Darlington need to do," said Cooper.

"I know the division that they are likely to be playing next season, I know the players and I know what you have to do to succeed."

Finally Dean Holdsworth who is in charge at Newport County has declared he is staying with them next season for their first campaign in the national conference.

"I’ll be in the manager’s chair next season. We have achieved great things at this club and I hope that will continue next season."

So Holdsworth can be crossed out Graham Turner's list, always assuming he was ever on it.
