Gus Poyet is priced as short as 10/1 for the vacant Wigan job after boss Roberto Martinez moved clsoe to the exit today.

Martinez has said he wants to and is expected to take over in charge at Everton.

Poyet remains under suspension at Albion but has been linked with various jobs.

He is being quoted as a best price 20/1 for the Wigan post but is as short as tens with Stan James.

Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen was quickly installed as favourite by several bookies with odds ranging from evens to 4/1.

Ladbrokes and Coral believe current Latics assistant Graeme Jones is a more likely successor.

Martinez and Poyet were colleagues at Real Zaragoza in the early 1990s.
