"No Thanks Dolan!"

York City have turned down an offer from former manager Terry Dolan, who wanted to help the Minstermen secure their Football League status.

Former Bradford and Rochdale boss Dolan, spent three-and-a-half years at the club and has now urged the club to turn to his managerial experience in a bid to ensure that the Bootham Crescent based club avoid the drop.

Dolan left his post in May last year, but is still an employee of the club (until his contract expires at the end of next month).

In February, Dolan took the club to a tribunal over win bonuses and won a healthy £1,300.

Communications director Sophie McGill said: "Terry Dolan has not formally approached the York City board of directors, but appears to have offered his services via the media.

"We thank Terry Dolan for his kind and generous offer. However, we fully support Chris Brass and Lee Nogan in all their efforts to ensure York City remains in the Football League and have no intention of making any changes to our management team."
