GRAHAM POTTER is the leading contender for the England job.

It's been a difficult few days for Southgate.
His Three Lions side laboured to a 2-0 victory over Malta before finishing their European Championship qualifying campaign with a disappointing draw at North Macedonia.
England secured top seeding at Euro 2024, but Southgate has received widespread criticism for his pragmatic approach and somewhat defensive selections.
Southgate was appointed as England men's senior manager in November 2016.
He's since led the Three Lions to a semi-final at the 2018 World Cup, the final of EURO 2020 and the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
But next summer's European Championships in Germany looks likely to be his last opportunity to win silverware with England.
If he does choose to move on, Potter is believed to be the frontrunner for his position.

The 48-year-old remains out of work following his brief stint at Chelsea, but his stock remains extremely high after helping to transform Brighton's fortunes.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is next at 8/1.
Howe did an excellent job with Bournemouth and has proven that he's capable of stepping up to a more high-profile position having led Newcastle to the Champions League.
Under-21 manager Lee Carsley is also available at 8/1.
The former Everton midfielder guided England's U21 side to the European Under-21 Championship for the first time in nearly 40 years in July.
Pep Guardiola is a popular option amongst supporters, and is priced at 10/1.
The Daily Mail recently reported that the FA were 'open' to exploring a move for Manchester City's chief, who's seen as a 'dream' appointment by some at English football's governing body.
However, there is a stumbling block with the Spaniard contracted at the Etihad until June 2025, meaning an interim would be needed to cover the start of World Cup qualification.
