Oddschecker spokesman George Elek said: Theres no doubt who the bookies have as clear favourite to take over from Gary Rowett, with David Moyes installed as the early front runner.Reports suggest Moyes is ready for a return to management and is keen for the Potters job, and thats resonated with punters.78% of all bets on the next manager have been placed on the ex-Manchester United manager, by far the most in the market.
