Notts County head coach Ian Burchnall has shot up the bookies' odds to become the new Lincoln City manager.
The Imps are on the search for a successor to Michael Appleton who left Sincil Bank by mutual consent earlier this week just a year after he led them to the League One play-off final. Lincoln had wanted to talk to Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradshaw and made a formal approach, but he has now decided to remain in Ireland.
Nottinghamshire Live has been told that Lincoln's hierarchy has discussed Burchnall as a potential candidate with the former Ostersunds coach on track to lead Notts to the play-offs for a second consecutive season after being appointed last March.
