Recently Bristol Rovers sacked manager Paul Tisdale after just 19 matches in charge, following a ten-game winless run, which currently sees the Pirates sit in 20th place in League One, only above the relegation zone on goal difference.
Director of football Tommy Widdrington has been in temporary charge for the last week or so but isn’t in the running for the job at the Memorial Stadium. He was due to take charge of their crucial League One fixture against Swindon Town last Saturday, but the game was called off due to a frozen pitch.
