Pools are expected to move quickly this week to replace Craig Hignett, who was given his marching orders after a poor run of results which has seen side draw a blank in seven of their last nine games.

And it's fair to say there are a few surprise names in the list.

Dave Jones is still the frontrunner but his price is drifting, having been 1/10 favourite yesterday.

One man who has been backed in the last 24 hours is former Pools Under-21 boss Sam Collins, who is taking temporary charge of the team as things stand. The Mail understands Collins is unlikely to be given the reins by Coxall & Co.
