Billy Dearden left the club by mutual consent following Saturday's 4-0 home drubbing against Rochdale and Holland, 34, has been put in temporary charge.

"I'd love to be here. It's my club and I've been involved since I was 12 years old," he told BBC Radio Nottingham.

"It's down to me to show what I can do so I'm going to try to put my mark on it straight away."

He added: "I spoke to Stephen Booth (chief executive) about it and he explained that he will be speaking to other people but he hasn't excluded me from the running."

Holland progressed through the youth ranks at Field Mill and played more than 150 games for the club.
