Who could be appointed Blackpool boss ahead of their clash with Pompey?

The 47-year-old stepped down at Bloomfield Road last night after talks with owner Owen Oyston.

In the meantime, assistant manager Terry Phillips is holding the reins as the Tangerines start the recruitment process for a new boss.

Although an appointment before Kenny Jackett's troops visit Blackpool may be unlikely, it's still within the realm of possibility.

And Ian Holloway has emerged the early favourite with the bookmakers' to return to the Bloomfield Road hot seat.

He's currently a 5/1 shot with Bet Victor, while Phillips is 6/1 to be given the job on a permanent basis.

Also included in the betting is former Pompey boss Michael Appleton '“Â who departed Fratton Park for Blackpool in 2012. He is priced at 25/1.
