Next Lincoln City Manager Odds
It’s a sad week for the Imps today, as the board recently announced the departure of Mark Kennedy, after a disappointing start to the season. While nobody can be surprised at the news, the announcement of yet another manager departing in the league will have certainly caught the attention of other teams and, of course, the bookies. In fact, at the time or writing, there are already next Lincoln City manager odds being published as people began to guess at who could be the next person to take the lead at the Imps. But just what has gone wrong at Lincoln City to swing the axe now?
Looking at their recent run of form, successive league defeats against Leyton Orient, Peterborough and Burton this October have certainly not helped Kennedy’s chances of staying put. Perhaps, their upcoming fixtures against Fleetwood, Charlton and Exeter might be the chance of a redemption arc under caretaker manager and previous first team coach, Tom Shaw, with all of them also outside the top 10 places in the Football League One. But one thing is for certain, whoever is acting manager for now will have a tougher job to do, as they will need to do it without recently red-carded midfielder, Danny Mandroiu, who’s 2 goals and 3 assists have him as their top playmaker so far. So just who is being touted as the early favourite for the full-time managerial role.
At the top of the pack, at the time of writing, BetVictor has the next Lincoln manager odds starting at 4/5* with Stephen Bradley, followed closely by Danny Cowley at 7.4. Outsiders Steve Cotterill at 8/1* and Damien Duff at 10/1* are seemingly less popular for now, but as all punters know, things can change in an instant so expect to see movement. In fact, early favourite Stephen Bradley, currently acting as manager of Shamrock Rovers, has already distanced himself from the role by saying ‘Honestly, there’s absolutely nothing that would take me away from here in the next few weeks.’ Perhaps the more likely of scenarios would be to turn back to Danny Cowley, who served as manager of Lincoln City FC between 2016 and 2019 and managed to guide them to two successful promotions in just 3 years, before leaving to join Huddersfield Town. Whatever the choice and no matter what the fans wish to happen, the Imps need to appoint someone soon, or risk losing out on another season as they fight to get promoted into the Championship.
