Who will replace Pierre Sage at Crystal Palace? Odds suspended on Thomas Frank

Thomas Frank is the overwhelming favourite to replace sacked Pierre Sage, with betting suspended on the former Tottenham and Brentford boss.

Pierre Sage has been sacked as Crystal Palace manager after just 16 games and a fourth successive defeat, leaving the club bottom of the Premier League with seven points from 30 available. Sage, who arrived in the summer on a three-year deal to replace Oliver Glasner, departs hours after Michael Carrick was removed at Manchester United.

Thomas Frank, the former Tottenham and Brentford manager, is the clear favourite to take the job, with betting sites suspending odds on him at 1/4. Frank was sacked by Spurs in February and has been out of work for eight months. Sean Dyche, the former Burnley and Everton manager, is second favourite at 6/1, while Danish manager Jens Berthel Askou, currently at Toulouse, is also being considered at 6/1. Palace face Coventry City on 21 November.
