Overview
- Luton Town dismissed manager Matt Bloomfield along with assistant Richard Thomas, coach Lee Harrison and analyst Ben Cirne after a poor start, with 16 points from 11 games and a defeat at Stevenage cited by reports as the tipping point.
- Coral makes Jack Wilshere odds-on at 4/5 to take over at Kenilworth Road, reflecting heavy backing in the betting markets.
- Other names linked by bookmakers include Alex Lawless and Russell Martin at 5/1, Richie Wellens at 8/1, Luke Williams and Gary O’Neil at 10/1, Michael Skubala at 12/1 and Chris Coleman at 14/1.
- Wilshere is pursuing his first permanent senior role after a two-match interim spell at Norwich City that produced one win and one draw, and he previously turned down Arsenal’s Under-21s post in August.
- The vacancy remains open as Luton evaluate candidates, with The Sun reporting Lawless has been placed in interim charge, and betting odds should not be mistaken for a confirmed appointment.
