Preston North End are still hopeful that they will have a new manager in place for Saturday night's televised clash against the Addicks. Alan Irvine, David Moyes' assistant at Goodison Park, has today emerged as a strong candidate.
Currently, assistant manager Rob Kelly has been put in temporary charge at Deepdale until a new boss can be found.
Other names in the frame include former Burnley boss Steve Cotterill, Mike Newell, Martin Allen and Paul Ince. But former Deepdale skipper Simon Davey has distanced himself from the vacancy by committing himself to Barnsley.
Graeme Souness, linked with the post last week, and Morecambe boss Sammy McIlroy have ruled themselves out of the running.
Former Wigan boss Paul Jewell is the leading choice of fans to be the next North End manager. Jewell polled a massive 52% in a Lancashire Evening Post poll, with former Luton manager Mike Newell the second favourite with 11%. In your dreams.
