Burton Albion chairman Ben Robinson has dismissed speculation linking Nigel Clough with the vacant managerial position at Grimsby Town.

The former Nottingham Forest and England striker is not believed to have had any contact with Grimsby, but has nevertheless become a popular choice with Mariners' fans.

However, Robinson said: "Every time a managerial position becomes available in the Football League, Nigel's name is always mentioned.

"I don't know how ambitious he is but with him currently raising a young family and us being part-time club, a full-time managerial job might not be what Nigel wants at this stage in his career."
