The Hereford FC board will have to try again after their first choice for a new manager decided to stay in his current post.
It appears he was offered the post after interviews took place earlier this week.
After the initial interviews a short list of five or six contenders for the post was drawn up. They were interviewed for a second time and a decision made to offer the post to one of the six.
However after speaking to his club and, BN understands, offered an increase in his salary he decided to turn down the chance of coming to Hereford.
