Carlisle United have moved quickly to make a chance in the hot seat, ousting club legend and now former boss Paul Simpson, and looking to go in a new direction with an appointment that will hopefully allow them to challenge for promotion back to League One.
Four games in, it’s one win and three defeats, and while Carlisle may not quite have the squad to win promotion, they fancied the playoffs, and need to be doing a lot better than we’ve seen so far.
Money has been spent on the squad, it’s an attractive lower league job, and here’s a look at what the best betting sites have put together in terms of odds and candidates.

Carlisle Next Manager: Leading Candidates
The betting market at the moment is wide open, with very little to go on for punters.
Rob Elliot is the favourite, currently manager of Gateshead in the National League, and while his managerial stint has been short, Elliot already looks like someone who could make the jump up into league football.
Below Elliot in the betting, Pete Wild knows League Two well from his time with Barrow, and is relatively local, which not too many can say about Carlisle, that could help him here.
The two names after those top two in the betting would be regarded as real coups, if either turned up and took this role.
Ryan Lowe, recently sacked from Preston in the Championship and Leam Richardson, sacked from Rotherham in the same division last season, would both be the kind of higher profile candidates capable of getting the fans excited.
The good news for whoever takes over is that this has been done early, and there’s plenty of time to turn things around.
