Eyre Force One

The bookies have stopped taking bets on the vacant manager's job at Spotland, with all reports suggesting that City youth supremo Steve Eyre will be named as the new Dale boss on Monday.

As we reported on Friday, there's not a great deal known about Eyre. What we do know is that he is very well thought of within the game, he has been at City in various coaching positions for a number of years, and his Dad is Fred Eyre - the well known Manchester footballing personality.

Eyre's appointment has been put forward by Sky Sports with one of their "SkySports understands..." style stories both with a story on Saturday saying that he would be offered the job, and on Sunday afternoon saying that he had accepted the position.

Dale chairman Chris Dunphy had told the BBC last week that he expected an announcement to be made on Monday.
