After the sacking of Gary Megson yesterday, Peter Reid and Paul Jewell have become the front runners for the job according to the bookmakers.  Reid hasn't managed in England for nearly 5 years, although became Stoke City's assistant manager back in September.  Jewell has found himself amongst the favourites for a few jobs despite the mess he caused at Derby County.  The up-and-coming Darren Ferguson is amongst the favourites, as well as the experienced Alan Curbishley.  Mark Hughes may hold out for a bigger job and Owen Coyle has said he wants to stay on at Burnley.  Here is a list of the favourites and selected candidates:
