Is Moore returning to Rovers?
Moore denial
Former Rotherham United and Oldham Atheltic manager, Ronnie Moore, has played down speculation which is linking him with the vacant managers position at Prenton Park.

Moore, a former Rovers player, is thought to be on a shortlist of three candidates for the job, along with Brentford manager Martin Allen and ex-Hearts manager and player, Craig Levien.

Moore, who left Oldham yesterday, said "It's a great place and it would have been a great opportunity for me, but they are quite a long way down the line with another candidate.

They've done it the right way, they've spoken to the chairman and the manager and I think it's quite a way down the line."

Where does this leave Rovers now? Is Ronnie Moore just playing down the speculation but still in there with a chance or is he out of the running completely?
