Peter Jackson hopes City give him the chance to build a club as John Coleman has done with Accrington.

Jackson heads for the Crown Ground tomorrow still waiting for a signal about the permanent post.

To add spice to the Roses clash, Cole-man (pictured) was keen on the Valley Parade job but City refused to pay the compensation his club demanded.

Coleman has held the Accrington reins since August 1999, making him the third longest-serving current boss behind Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.

In that time, he has steered Stanley through three non-league promotions to the brink of the League Two play-offs.

Jackson said: “Clubs who regularly change managers seldom get success. There might be a quick fix but not a lot more.

“I’d love a board of directors to tell a manager that he’ll get three years, come rain or shine, to see what he can do. Then you can bring the youngsters through and you can plan.

“In football nowadays you can plan a month ahead and that’s it. How can you possibly change things properly in that time?”
