Dale get Coleman permission

It has been confirmed that Dale have been given permission to speak to John Coleman about the vacant managerial position at Rochdale.

After four days of rumours going back and forth, the first official confirmation is through with Accrington Stanley confirming that they are allowing John Coleman to speak to Dale about taking over from Steve Eyre.

This comes after what appears to be a day of dialogue between the board of Dale and Accrington, and similar discussions between John Coleman and his board at Accrington.

The bookies closed their markets on the Dale manager's job over the weekend and it would appear that there may be an announcement in the net twenty four hours.
