Tommy Widdrington remains an odds-on favourite with the bookmakers to be the next permanent Bristol Rovers manager.
The club's director of football has been placed in caretaker charge ahead of Saturday's crunch clash with relegation rivals Swindon Town, and the oddsmakers believe he will hold the reins for at least 10 games – SkyBet's threshold for a permanent appointment.
Widdrington was the betting leader when markets opened on Wednesday afternoon following the sacking of Paul Tisdale, and his price has come in from 8/11 to 4/7.
Next up at 6/1 is Gas hero Lee Mansell, the manager of the club's development squad, and former Rovers captain Ollie Clarke has tipped the 38-year-old to get the job.
Mansell was not initially priced up by the bookies on Wednesday, like former Gas centre-back Byron Anthony. The Welshman has returned to the club in an academy coaching capacity and has earned plenty of praise for his analysis when commentating on Rovers' recent games for iFollow. Anthony is a 14/1 shot.
Pirates legend Chris Lines, currently playing for League Two Stevenage, also makes the list and is available at 25/1.
Joey Barton, Ian Holloway, Nigel Adkins and Tony Pulis remain in the bookmakers' top 10 contenders, but their prices have drifted in recent hours.
