Neil Harris favourite to take over Bristol Rovers -

Former Bluebirds boss Neil Harris is the current favourite to take the reins at League One club Bristol Rovers.

The Gas are looking at several other managers as well as Holloway with Garry Monk being linked with the job alongside the former Blackpool boss.

As well as Monk other candidates reportedly include Dean Holden and Karl Robinson, who have both been in jobs much more recently than the former Sheffield Wednesday manager.

Whether that gives them an advantage over Holloway and Monk remains to be seen with the club set to assess their options before deciding who is most suited for the job.
