Hide AdFormer Cats boss Gus Poyet is a name which keeps cropping up, alongside former defender John O’Shea.
Danny Cowley - once of Lincoln City and Huddersfield Town – is also said to be in the running, alongside ex-Wigan Athletic and Portsmouth manager Paul Cook.

@RokerWil: “BACK in bold?”
@joshpaul1898: “It’ll be Poyet coming back.”
@returnoflemack: “Poyet is BACK.”
@ElsieSafc: “Gus bus incoming.”
