Bolton have sacked manager Owen Coyle following a poor start to the season.

Mick McCarthy is the early favourite for the Bolton manager's job with Sky Bet following Coyle's sacking and was quickly cut into 7/4. There was also early money for Peter Reid at 25/1. Graeme Souness, initially offered at 5s, drifted to 14/1, with Roy Keane taking over as second favourite at 10/1. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, recently linked with the vacancy at Bolton's local rivals Blackburn, was cut from 16s to join a host of candidates on 12/1. Other interesting names on the list include former Blackburn boss Steve Kean (25/1), Kenny Dalglish (25/1) and former Trotters defender Fernando Hierro at 22s.
