Roddy Collins wants to succeed Roy Coyle at Glentoran

The Glens are still waiting for a response from Roy Walker, who is giving "serious consideration" to an offer to take over from Roy Coyle.

If Walker declines then former Carlisle boss Collins, Tranmere number two Richard Hill and ex-Bradford City manager Nicky Law will be considered.

Collins says he could bring investment to the club if he gets the job.

"I feel I could do a good job there," the former Shamrock Rovers manager told the Belfast Telegraph.

"I have a lot of contacts in England and from the Eircom League and I could bring a lot to the club.

"I also have a friend who is interested in investing in a football club and I could bring him along with me - that is something else that would need to be talked over."

However, Glentoran's focus is firmly on bringing Walker in as the next boss.

"There is massive expectation and ambition and it is right that both the club and Roy carefully reflect on their next move," said Glens chairman Stafford Reynolds.

"He has the qualities, capability and experience we are looking for.

"A part-time position can work fine for us but I am more interested in getting the right man for the job.

"We approached Roy because he a person who fits the job description."

Former Northern Ireland captain Alan McDonald has also declared an interest in succeeding Coyle, who resigned last week after a poor run of results.

Other names being mentioned as possible successors at the Oval include former Northern Ireland international Michael O'Neill.

Coyle's former assistant Jimmy Brown, now in charge at Glenavon, has ruled himself out.

Tommy Kincaid, who was Coyle's assistant at the club, is currently in charge of the team in a caretaker capacity.
