Some well know names in both league and non-league football have emerged.Names such as Steve Walsh the former Leicester City defender who has spent time with Tamworth since finishing league football and is now without a club.
The former Shepshed Dynamo boss and Leek Town assistant manager Mark O'Kane is another along with former Rocester managers Mark Bromley and Carl Wilcox.
Steve Dolby a former boss at the Moat Ground is also named as a possible applicant as is former Atherstone United manager Kenny Willis who knows the non-league scene very well and is used to working with a tight budget.
Chairman Mark Evans and his fellow directors will have a tough decision to make but Evans as hinted that Rovers might shy away from appointing another "big name" former player saying; "It may be time for us to make a different type of appointment. We may possibly go for someone who is close to the club geographically and look at someone with good experience and coaching credentials."
