John Sheridan becomes odds-on favourite for Notts County job

Oldham Athletic manager John Sheridan has been installed as the odds-on favourite to take the job at Notts County.

The 51-year-old is currently under contract at the League One club, but has been touted as a contender for the Leeds United job.

Sheridan has held three different managerial jobs in the past three seasons. In addition to Oldham, he has spent time at Newport County and ended his two year stint at Plymouth Argyle prior to that, before returning to Boundary Park in January for a second spell.

He was odds-on favourite to claim the job at Leeds but was then overtaken by MK Dons manager Karl Robinson – although he is understood to have turned down the Yorkshire club's offer.

Should Notts make a move for Sheridan, they will be required to pay compensation for his services, with the former Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds and Nottingham Forest alumnus currently under contract.
