CLITHEROE look set to unveil Dave Burgess as their new manager this weekend.

Club officials have sounded out the Blues' reserve team boss about succeeding Steve Parry.

And subject to approval from the club's football committee, he will be officially appointed after this weekend's final game against Newcastle. Burgess has been connected with the club for a number of years and has openly expressed his desire to take over the top job. But he is expected to have to work with a reduced budget as the club looks to cut costs.
