PAUL Tisdale has been installed as joint favourite to take over at Swindon Town.

The 48-year-old, who spent the final few weeks of the season at Colchester United in an advisory role, is looking for his next job in football.

According to http://www.betvictor.com/ he is now joint favourite to take over at the Robins, along with ex-Liverpool star Robbie Fowler.

Tisdale is looking for a new challenge after his short-term role at the U's ended.

The former Exeter City, MK Dons and Bristol Rovers boss, who has taken charge of more than 700 games as a manager, has also been linked with the Leyton Orient job, for which he is currently priced at 4/1.

After John Sheridan resigned as boss, Swindon have been in the process of looking for their next permanent manager with it recently being widely reported that the club were in talks with Fowler.

Former Portsmouth boss Kenny Jackett is currently 8/1 to be the next Town boss, just behind Fowler and Tisdale.

Ex-Colchester head coach John McGreal is also a potential contender for the Swindon role and is currently priced at 12/1 along with Chris Powell and Liam Rosenior.

Another trio in Neal Ardley, Michael Carrick and Joe Cole are all considered outsiders for the role at 16/1.

• Paul Tisdale: 6/1

• Robbie Fowler: 6/1

• Kenny Jackett: 8/1

• Chris Powell: 12/1

• John McGreal: 12/1

• Liam Rosenior: 12/1
