Next Doncaster Rovers manager: Former Newport County boss Michael Flynn made new favourite for the job

Early odds had suggested that Johnathan Woodgate and Simon Grayson were the favourites for the job but both have now fallen to 16/1 to be appointed at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Former Sheffield United and Hull City manager Nigel Adkins is also among the favourites and is 4/1 to take the job while Flynn is the outright favourite at 3/1.

Flynn made over 400 appearances as a player and had spells in Yorkshire with Huddersfield Town and Bradford City.

In 2017 he was appointed caretaker manager at Newport before being earning the job permanently later that year. He left the club in October after nine league matches with Newport 15th in League Two.

Rovers caretaker boss Gary McSheffrey is also in the running at 4/1 while Paul Cook, who was sacked by Ipswich Town last weekend, is 10/1.
