Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek: With Forest four points off the play-offs, attendances soaring this season and a fan based re-engaged with the club following the exit of Fawaz Al-Hasawi this development looks very odd on the face of it. With news breaking this morning of Karankas sacking, bookies have been quick to install ex-Fulham boss Jokanovic as the clear early front runner.Although this market is still in its infancy, 38% of all the early money has come for the Serbian taking over from the Spaniard.
