Next Crawley Manager Odds: Scott Lindsey Tipped for Return & Evatt, Williamson
Craig Jones 
Struggling in the League One relegation zone, Crawley Town have finally decided to pull the plug on Rob Elliot, and have parted way with the former Newcastle goalkeeper.
We have next Crawley manager odds available below, and sitting at the top of the market is Scott Lindsey, a familiar face, who only left Crawley in October to move to MK Dons.
Next Crawley Manager Odds
Now the dust has settled after yesterday's sacking, we've seen some betting sites create a market and offer next Crawley manager odds to their players.
With nine games to go, Crawley are 12 points adrift of safety, and barring a miracle, will be looking at playing League Two football next season.
But the fact this move has been made now is a clear sign that they are going to give it a go, and that will mean getting someone in early.
Does this also mean they're wanting someone who can hit the ground running, who knows the club well, and is wanted back? If so, then the favourite in this market is certainly going to be talked about.
Scott Lindsey
If the odds on offer from football betting sites are correct then Crawley Town will be going back to a manager they've had at the club previously, as early as just a few months ago.
Scott Lindsey is 1/3 favourite to be the next Crawley Town manager, after leaving the club at the end of September, less than six months ago.
He left to go to MK Dons, who are a league below, with the aim of getting them promoted. But just nine wins from 29 games saw him sacked at the start of this month, he's now a free agent again.
He'd be a very popular choice with fans, and a man who could step straight back in as though he'd not been away.
Ian Evatt
If Crawley want an eye on next season, and want to make a splash, then Ian Evatt would certainly raise a few eyebrows as an appointment.
He's joint second favourite with the man we'll talk about shortly, priced up at 6/1.
Given promotion last season after a strong run, if Crawley do go down, and have someone like Evatt in the dugout, you can see them being popular with punters using wagers and free bets on next season's league winners market.
Sacked from Bolton, he apparently wants to get straight back into football, the only question is whether he'd want to instantly jump to a team likely to be in League Two next season.
Mike Williamson
A man who made a massive impression with Gateshead, followed up with a strong first season at MK Dons, and has then struggled.
But Williamson is clearly a talented coach, with plenty going for him, and this kind of job, is the right sort of area for him to fit.
He's joint second favourite at 6/1 with Ian Evatt, and of those two, while he may not have the CV and wow factor that Evatt would bring, if interested, Williamson is definitely a more realistic option for Crawley.
The Rest
Other names are further down the list, including Jon Brady, Nigel Adkins & Richie Barker, plus plenty more.
I expect a fairly swift moving process here, with whoever takes charge given as many games as possible to try and perform a miracle and keep this club in the third tier.
