John Sherdian's sacking has produced a number of interesting candidates for the vacant Oldham FC job
Owen Coyle has begun as the favourite to be the next Oldham manager following news of the sacking of John Sheridan. The veteran manager has been without a job since he departed from Blackburn this February and is currently priced at 7/1 to take over.
Ronnie Moore and Shefki Kuqi are tied for second with odds of 9/1, while Neil Redfearn and Steve Cotterill sit just behind at 10/1.
Nigel Adkins may be a surprise candidate for the job, but his odds to return to football management are currently also 10/1.
Oldham have endured a miserable run of form, winning just one game in League One since the new season began and currently sitting bottom with four points, and it's clear whoever takes charge has a serious battle on their hands to avoid relegation this year.
