Dean Lewington early favourite to become MK Dons boss
Betting odds are now given on who will be the next MK Dons manager with the club looking for a new boss to take over following the dismissal of Scott Lindsey on Sunday.
MK currently sit in 17th in the League Two table but their 13 point gap ahead of 23rd placed Morecambe should mean that they have no chance of being relegated this season.
All eyes are on who they will appoint next in Stadium MK with current captain Dean Lewington the early favourite to take over as manager.
Lewington has been caretaker boss of the club on three occasions and it despite it being unconfirmed it looks likely it'll happen again.
| Next MK Dons Manager | Odds* | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Dean Lewington | 3/1 | 25.0% |
| Stephen Clemence | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Paul Hurst | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Ian Evatt | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Mike Williamson | 7/1 | 12.5% |

Scott Lindsey dismissed after terrible form in recent months
Sunday afternoon saw MK Dons officially confirm the dismissal of Scott Lindsey after 11 losses in their last 16 games in the league saw them slide further down the League Two table to 17th.
Lindsey took over back in September after leaving Crawley Town for the job but five months later he has been sacked with a short statement on the club's website saying, "Everyone at MK Dons would like to sincerely thank Scott for his efforts during his time in Milton Keynes and wish him every success in the future."
The last game of the Lindsey MK-era saw them lose 1-0 at home to Colchester with a 16 point gap now between them and the play-off places.

MK Dons now sit in 17th in League Two
With such a big gap between MK Dons and the relegation places the latest odds put them out to 250/1 to be relegated this season.
That could potentially mean that there would be no pressure on whoever takes over at the club next if they are all but safe in the league.
MK are shorter in the Top 7 finish market at 66/1 but those odds still don't give much of a chance for it to happen with a mid-table finish expected.
