After featuring among the runners and riders, former Watford, Sunderland, Southampton, West Bromwich Albion, and Birmingham City striker Kevin Phillips is now the odds-on favourite at 4/5 to take charge over the next few weeks.
Phillips, who guided South Shields to promotion to the National League North this season, is now without a job after leaving the 1st Cloud Arena club by mutual consent on Saturday.
49-year-old Phillips, who also played for the likes of Aston Villa, Blackpool, Crystal Palace, and Leicester City over a 660+ game career, would be something of a surprise appointment as the club looks to build a side capable of battling for promotion after the last few dismal campaigns.
Former Crewe Alexandra boss David Artell remains well backed with odds of 3/1, whilst current interim boss Mat Sadler has slipped to 8/1 following Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Play-Off hopefuls, Salford City.
