Meanwhile, chief executive David Lampitt has praised the role caretaker managers Guy Whittingham and Stuart Gray have played since Cotterill's exit.
Lampitt said: "We have to be incredibly grateful to the existing coaching staff, as well as the players. They've done a fantastic job since Steve left.
"It's not only the wins which have been first class but the performances, too.
"From my position, and that of the board, it gives us breathing space.
"It doesn't take the pressure off. Not many things do that! It just gives us a bit of time.
"If we had any concerns about the strength, ability and experience of the coaching staff we would be under more pressure. But people can see Guy and Stuart have the team set up well and playing well."
So what are you waiting for, Mr. Limpitt?
Give them the f*cking job.
