Paul Cook is poised to become the new manager of Portsmouth.
Cook was in charge of Chesterfield on Sunday as they were knocked out of the League One play-offs following a 3-0 defeat at Preston.
League Two side Portsmouth were initially refused permission to speak to Cook in April following the departure of Andy Awford. However, they have offered the £250,000 release clause in the 48-year-old's contract and he is due to take over at the south coast club in the coming days.
Paul Cook is set to become the next Portsmouth manager after his release clause was triggered
Cook joined Chesterfield in 2012 and took them to last season's League Two title
Preston 3-0 Chesterfield League One Play-Off semi-final...
Chesterfield want assistant Leam Richardson to replace Cook at the Proact Stadium while Plymouth's John Sheridan, Crawley caretaker boss Dean Saunders and ex-Sheffield United striker Brian Deane are also in the frame.
Former Wolves and Burnley midfielder Cook guided Chesterfield to last season's League Two title and finished sixth in League One this season. He has been in charge since October 2012.

A lot of ex footballers on that list. Makes you think when someone (even us) may give Bellamy the chance

I don't like Bellamy as a person, but he is certainly a winner and will make a good manager with a good experienced number 2 to keep him in control. Id take him over Slade now, with someone like Dutch Ray as his number 2
