Former Cobblers boss Jon Brady the odds-on favourite to take over at League Two Carlisle United


The 50-year-old Aussie is 2/5 with BetVictor to replace Mike Williamson, who was sacked following United’s 5-1 home defeat to Swindon Town on Saturday. Betting was temporarily suspended on Tuesday afternoon before reopening, with Steven Gerrard also among those linked to the job.
Brady spent three and a half years at Cobblers and managed 200 games, leading the club out of League Two before finishing mid-table in League One last season. He made the decision to step down in December and has been out of work since.
