Roy Hodgson is the odds-on favourite to be appointed as Leicester City's new manager.
The Sun's SunBets have suspended betting on the former England boss becoming the Foxes' replacement for Claudio Ranieri.
Thursday evening saw Hodgson backed in to 1/5 firm favouritism after it became apparent that he had held talks with the reigning Premier League champions.
Caretaker Craig Shakespeare placed his best foot forward when guiding the Foxes to a commanding 3-1 win over Liverpool on Monday night but it is understood that Hodgson is the man they want to fill the void left by affable Italian Ranieri.
While SunBets has dropped the option to back Hodgson, SkyBet has the former Fulham, Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion manager at 4/11, both Ladbrokes and William Hill at 1/4, and Paddy Power at 2/5.
