Albion boss Gus Poyet has been made favourite by some bookies to fill the imminent managerial vacancy at Swansea City.

Poyet was last night being quoted as short as 7/4 to replace Brendan Rogers, whose move to Liverpool is likely to be completed today.

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway was Poyet’s closest rival in the betting.

Poyet recently insisted he was shrugging off speculation about his future, saying: “If you think about all that you forget about your job and I’m trying to get players in, that’s the main thing now.”
