The Potters sacked Michael O’Neill on Thursday morning, making him the first Championship casualty of the season, after picking four points in the opening five games.

Richardson is currently 16/1 to be the next manager at the Bet365 Stadium, according to BetVictor.

Sean Dyche is the favourite at 2/1, with Mark Robins second at 6/1.
