Karl Robinson is the favourite among twenty candidates listed for the vacant Peterborough United manager's job. The search follows Luke Williams' departure with the club sitting 23rd in League One, having taken just five points from their opening seven games.

Robinson, the former MK Dons and Oxford United boss, heads the list of prospective replacements. Matt Bloomfield is next in the frame, with Michael Duff and Ryan Harley also among the leading contenders. One unnamed candidate has already ruled himself out of the running.
