Aidy Boothroyd favourite with Sky Bet to be next permanent Huddersfield Town boss
Former Watford boss Aidy Boothroyd is the favourite with bookmakers Sky Bet to replace Stan Ternent as Huddersfield Town boss.
The Terriers parted company with Ternent this morning (Tuesday) after a disappointing start to the season - and now speculation is rife that Boothroyd, who was sacked by Watford on Monday - will fill his shoes.
Bradford born Boothroyd, who was part of Kevin Blackwell's coaching staff at Leeds before taking the Watford post, is even money with Sky Bet to head back to Yorkshire as Terriers boss after being the subject of a major gamble today.
Sky Bet's head of PR, Helen Jacob, said: "This is the second gamble on Boothroyd in less than 24 hours. We got stung on his being axed from Watford, so we're keeping a close eye on this market and after a flood of bets from the Huddersfield area, we've already wracked up a four figure liability."
John Ward, who was axed as Carlisle manager on Monday, is 6/1 second favourite to take the reins.
Ex-Burnley boss Steve Cotterill is quoted at 9/1, with Huddersfield veteran and current assistant manager of Morecambe, Mark Lillis, available at 12/1.
