Next Cardiff manager odds: Jody Morris becomes new favourite for Bluebirds job, Roy Keane, Alan Pardew and Craig Bellamy with outside chances
Mick McCarthy was sacked earlier this month after bad spell with Cardiff City in the Championship and now a number of contenders are lined up for the job.
Cardiff are 21st in the table after seven straight losses, but they are still just out of the relegation zone after their three early wins and are now searching for a manager to save them from the fight.

Chris Wilder became the favourite to be the next permanent manager at Cardiff City Stadium in the aftermath of McCarthy being sacked.
But now Jody Morris has emerged as the favourite ahead of Michael Flynn and Steve Morison who are the other frontrunners.
Morris hasn't managed a first team yet but has a strong background managing Chelsea's academy and being the assistant manager with Derby County and Chelsea.
Wilder's odds have drifted a huge amount in the past few days and now looks likely to join a list of other potential long shot candidates.
His last job was with Sheffield United where he took them from League One to the Premier League, but ultimately left by mutual agreement after only 14 points in 28 games last season.
Other names in the mix is Flynn the current Newport County manager who has experience of saving clubs from the brink of relegation as he did in his first year with Newport in 2017.
Wilder, Flynn and Morison are also among the potential managers for the vacant Charlton Athletic job, where caretaker manager Johnnie Jackson is favoured to takeover.
