BURNLEY today moved a step closer to agreeing a new long term deal for manager Steve Cotterill.
The Clarets boss, whose current contract runs until the summer of 2007, held his latest round of constructive talks with chairman Barry Kilby earlier this week.
And Kilby admitted he was "hopeful" of having good news to report in the near future.
"Steve and I have had another good session and I am really hopeful we are moving closer," said the Burnley supremo, who first opened dialogue with Cotterill last November.
