Stephen Dobbie is currently in interim charge and has put himself in the frame with two wins from his four games.
But there’s also a whole host of other names being linked with the Bloomfield Road vacancy.

2. Grant McCann - 66/1
Remains out of work having left Peterborough in January. Has a track record of succeeding in League One. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
3. Lee Bowyer - 66/1
Remained out of work since July of last year, where he was sacked by Birmingham after an indifferent spell. Seems unlikely. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
4. Dave Challinor - 66/1
Has done a remarkable job with his former club Stockport County and knows this area well having previously managed AFC Fylde. Not an awful shout. Photo: Getty Images
5. Paul Ince - 66/1
Having just been potted by Reading, Ince is another unusual name to make the list. Similarly to Appleton, this one is highly unlikely. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
6. Ian Evatt - 20/1
It would go down well with supporters for obvious reasons, but it's seems doubtful Evo would leave Bolton at this moment in time. Photo: CameraSport - Jake Kirkman
