IT is not yet known whether the Bolton Wanderers directors would be interested in talking to David Flitcroft about the vacant manager’s seat at the Macron Stadium.

But I am sure ever Bury fan would be relieved to hear that he has no intention of leaving them with the job only just begun.

And why would he?

Flicker is only just getting started with the Shakers and already he has guided them to the top of League Two.

And by his own admission, he enjoys working at the club – with his staff and players – and that is what it is all about.

It is true that while Bury’s directors and chairman have Championship ambitions, some of the facilities, especially the training pitch, are still way off that level.

But Flicker has the chance to shape the whole club, not just the first team, to his own blueprint, and that is an opportunity he will not be offered at Bolton, or anywhere else for that matter.

Even if Bolton are not after his services, the longer his Bury side attract attention at the top of League Two the more potential suitors will come along.

The likelihood is, however, that any side that comes sniffing will have problems on and off the pitch.

No club in the current climate is without its financial problems, but I think after 11 games of the campaign Flicker must already be confident with the resources at his disposal.

That confidence comes from looking around at what he has got in his squad and the quality of players available to his main rivals - he must be delighted with the current comparison.

I would say Bury now have an unbelievable chance to kick on from here, and if the crowds at the last couple of home league games are anything to go by then it looks like the town’s people are more than willing to get behind them.

Even if they have not got the biggest squad in the division, it has to be one of the best in terms of quality and Flicker will know he can still make one or two loan signings, if necessary, to freshen things up.

I would also agree with his opinions when it comes naming substitutes.

He only went with six of a possible seven on the bench at the weekend, but I see nothing wrong with that.

I think seven is a ridiculous number of substitutes anyway – you should be able to cover every eventuality with four outfield players and a goalkeeper.
