Holden, currently assistant head coach at Bristol City, is the even money favourite this morning, apparently having been backed in.

He spent almost a year with Town after signing in February 2011 and helping them to a League Two title that season.

More recently, 37-year-old Holden took charge of 15 games as interim boss at Oldham, winning three and drawing five of those.

He was assistant manager for the Latics under David Dunn and has since worked as part of the coaching staff at both Walsall and Bristol City.
