Fotherby, who was a Leeds director until 1996, is now chairman of Unibond League outfit Harrogate Town, and he said: "When he retired, the idea was he was going to come to Harrogate, according to both David and his agent Hayden Evans, and I am trying to put something together.
"I have been talking to his agent all season and I have stepped up those negotiations now. We will be doing everything we possibly can to get David, if not now then certainly at the end of the season.
"I am dying to get him here to Harrogate Town, he would win the championship for us."
