POLL: Who do you want as the next Walsall boss?

With the shock sacking of Sean O'Driscoll yesterday, we're asking who you want to see in the hot seat at the Banks's Stadium.

O'Driscoll's last game in charge was Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Barnsley, making it a six-game winless run at the end of 16 games in total, which saw only six victories.

Walsall's automatic promotion dreams are now fading fast and many fans are worried their current form could see them miss out on the play-offs entirely.

Plenty of mangers are in the frame for the job, including Mark Cooper and Dave Kelly.

First team coach Jon Whitney currently heads the betting market at 5/2 and has since been joined by new England Under 20's boss Keith Downing.

Ian Holloway is available at 12/1, Paul Ince at 20/1 and Paolo Di Canio at 25's.

But Downing is the biggest mover of the day after a string of bets on the former Albion caretaker manager.
