Cardiff City fans are seeking an urgent meeting with the club hierarchy following the sacking of Erol Bulut. The Cardiff City Supporters' Trust are asking to meet the top brass, citing the “uncertainty” at the club.

Jones, now priced at 4/1, has usurped recently-sacked Stoke City manager Steven Schumacher (6/1) at the top of the odds list. The 40-year-old left Stoke this month after less than a year in charge, having taken charge of the Potters for just 34 matches since getting the job last December.

Steven Schumacher would be an extremely sensible fit following his controversial sacking from Championship rivals Stoke City, while ex-Manchester City coach Brian Barry-Murphy is routinely linked with vacant second-tier posts and offers the progressive, attack-minded approach which supporters are crying out for.

As Cardiff City begin the search for a fifth new manager in the space of three years, BBC Sport Wales looks at some likely candidates to succeed sacked Erol Bulut.

Cardiff City fans are at a loss. And the club's hierarchy are hurting, too. They don't want to be in this position again. But heavy is the head that wears the crown. Because this machine has not been functioning well enough for too long now and change is needed.
