Paul Hurst backed into new favourite to return to Shrewsbury Town

Hurst guided Shrewsbury to the play-off final in May, despite starting the season as favourites for relegation, alongside the final of the Checkatrade Trophy.

He would depart to join Ipswich in the summer but was sacked in late October with the Tractor Boys routed to the bottom of the Championship table.

Gary Bowyer was backed into odds-on favourite having started at 5/1 when the market opened, he is now 11/8.

Hurst, available at 6/1 on Monday, is now 11/10 with Michael Flynn moving into 6/1 third-favourite.

Despite being 8/1 shortly after the news of John Askey's sacking, caretaker manager Danny Coyne has now drifted out to 20s.

Askey won four of 17 league matches with the Shrews and were held to a 1-1 draw at home by National League outfit Salford City in the FA Cup.

Assistant manager John Filan and first-team coach George Pilkington have also left the club, with goalkeeping coach Coyne taking over on a temporary basis.

"Shrewsbury Town would like to place on record its thanks to John, John and George for their hard work and dedication during their time at the club and we wish them all well for the future," Shrewsbury said on their club website.
