The Robins are said to be on the look out for a new man at the helm as their current boss, Scott Lindsey, appears close to the exit door amid speculation he could takeover at Sussex club and League Two rivals Crawley Town.

Swindon are currently eighth in the League standings and this Saturday they welcome Grimsby Town to the County Ground. It’s an unsettling time for Swindon fans who face losing their manager to a Crawley team who are struggling near the foot of the table and seeking a new boss after their previous head coach, Matthew Etherington, left the Sussex club after just 34 days in charge.

A number of candidates have already been linked with the Swindon job. Here, Sussex World looks at the latest odds from BetVictor.com – including a surprise 6/4 favourite in a former Brighton boss.
