Cheltenham boss Martin Allen says he is staying with Town despite being linked with the job at Wycombe Wanderers, following Peter Taylor’s departure.
He told BBC Gloucestershire: “I moved to Cheltenham six weeks ago and I’m very happy here.
“I know I have a hard job with the lowest budget in the league but there are no distractions for me.
“I’m staying. We had a tough year last year and it’s a challenge to manage here. I’ve no interest in Wycombe.”

Chester have dropped their appeal against the 15-point penalty from the Football Conference.
City had already been docked an automatic 10 points for having gone into voluntary administration following relegation from League Two in May.
New chairman Ian Anderson told BBC Radio Merseyside: “If we were strong financially, I’d say let’s spend £100,000 and take on the appeal.
“But the money now needs to stay in Chester City Football Club.”
Chester are 24 points adrift of safety in the Blue Square Premier after starting the season on minus 25 points.
