Hopefully Dougie will be on his way in the next few days and the search will be on for the next Bolton manager.
The bookies rarely get it wrong, it would be extremely unlikely if the new manager didn't come from the following list, these are the 16 leading candidates according to Bet Victor:
Chris Coleman 5/1
Gianfranco Zola 10/1
Steven Pressley 10/1
Malky Mackay 10/1
Billy Davies 16/1
Glenn Hoddle 16/1
Tony Mowbray 16/1
Paolo Di Canio 20/1
Iain Dowie 25/1
Nigel Clough 25/1
Roberto Di Matteo 25/1
Phil Parkinson 33/1
Roy Keane 33/1
Sean O'Driscoll 33/1
Terry Butcher 33/1
Kenny Jackett 50/1
Some of those scare me. If we ended up with Tony Mowbray I would get "Chorley FC Forever" tattooed on my wonky left breast and never set foot in the Reebok again.
I would feel almost as depressed if Chris Coleman or Iain Dowie got the job.
I wouldn't be against Zola, at least we know we'd try and play football and he probably has a few connections in Italy. But my first choice would be Di Canio, he'd bring some much needed character to the Reebok.
So who would be your choice from the stated candidates?
