Flynn Dismissed After Poor Start
Cheltenham Town have parted company with manager Michael Flynn after a 3-0 home defeat to Oldham Athletic condemned them to the bottom of League Two.
It was the club’s ninth defeat in 12 matches across all competitions, with just one league victory all season.
Flynn himself admitted post-match that “performances like that get you the sack,” in what proved to be his final interview in charge.
Flynn had been appointed in May 2024 and guided the Robins to 15th last season, but a dismal start to 2025/26 left the club with little choice.
Now UK Betting Sites give odds on who will be the next man in charge of Cheltenham with a familiar face topping the betting odds.
Next Permanent Cheltenham Manager Odds
| Candidate | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Steve Cotterill | 1/2 | 66.7% |
| Jon Brady | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Adam Hinshelwood | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Matt Taylor | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Steve Evans | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Cotterill Favourite for Return
Former Cheltenham boss Steve Cotterill has been installed as the clear front-runner to return to the Robins dugout.
Cotterill previously enjoyed success with the club and his familiarity with both Cheltenham and lower-league management makes him a natural candidate.
Jon Brady, former Northampton Town manager, is second favourite at 3/1, while Adam Hinshelwood, who continues to attract interest from the Football League, is at 6/1.
Outsiders include Matt Taylor and Steve Evans, both 12/1.
