Ex Chesterfield and Alfreton Town manager Nicky Law.

Nicky Law, who was in attendance at the Proact Stadium on Saturday as Town lost to Wycombe Wanderers, is now 5/2 to replace the departed Jack Lester.

In a Derbyshire Times poll, however, John Sheridan (9/2) came out on top as the man Spireites would most like to see in the hot seat - out of those given short odds by bookies.

Graham Alexander, who remains at 20/1, was second in the voting, while Law was ranked third.

Ronnie Moore, who was 3/1 and is now at 7/2, was fourth, with ex Chesterfield product Kevin Davies (8/1) fifth and caretaker boss Ian Evatt (10/1) sixth.

This morning Aldershot assistant manager James Rowe is 7/1.
