Interim Bluebirds boss Mark Hudson is now the bookies' favourite to become the next permanent manager of Cardiff City.
The news comes amid suggestions the former Bluebirds skipper will be given a chance to impress the Bluebirds' hierarchy over the next few games, as Vincent Tan decides on the club's next move.
Tan decided to axe previous boss Steve Morison on Sunday, following a patchy run of results which has left the Bluebirds sitting 18th in the Championship table after 10 games, and attention has now turned to appointing a successor.
