The former Wolves boss was quickly made 4/7 favourite but was then backed down even further to 4/7 with sports specialist bookies BetVictor.

Steve Evans is 6/1 and Paul Hurst 8/1 – and they don’t fancy anyone else at this stage.

Said BetVictor pokesperson Jack Milner: “The market has already spoken in Jackett’s favour with the opening quote of 4/7 already taken by punters and BetVictor make him the 2/5 favourite to replace Alan Stubbs as Rotherham United’s next permanent manager.”
