The search for the next Peterborough United manager is not as cut and dried as some believe

It looks like the identity of the next Peterborough United manager is not as cut and dried as some believe.

Robbie Savage became the hot favourite to replace Luke Williams after a couple of days of rumour and counter rumour (see here) and a revelation from his current club Forest Green Rovers that he would not be in charge of their National League game on Tuesday.

Savage is understood to have been interviewed by the club’s board on Monday, but the PT has been told more interviews are being held on Tuesday. Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony will lead those interviews from his Florida base in the United States.

The PT has been now been told to expect a decision by the end of the week.

The PT understands former Luton Town, Oxford United and Wycombe Wanderers boss Matt Bloomfield remains interested in the post.
