Arsene Wenger was the man punters were backing to take over as England manager on Wednesday morning.
Offered by Sky Bet at 33/1 on Tuesday morning, the current Arsenal boss was cut during the day and on Wednesday morning went into 10/1 from 14s following support and plenty of media suggestions that he could be the man the FA look to next.
Frenchman Wenger is out of contract at Arsenal next summer and is believed to have been on the FA's wanted list prior to them offering Allardyce the job in July.
Gareth Southgate, who has been placed in temporary charge, is the current favourite at 11/10 to land the job on a permanent basis.
He will take the reins for the next four matches - World Cup qualifiers next month against Malta and Slovenia, followed by another against Scotland in November and a friendly with Spain a few days later.
The next England game after that Spain clash is not until March by which point the FA would potentially only need to wait a couple of months for Wenger to become available.
The out-of-work Steve Bruce (5/2), ex-England chief Glenn Hoddle (6/1), Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew (8/1) and Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe (8/1) are also prominent in the market.
Wenger is the first foreigner on the list, just ahead of Jurgen Klinsmann at 16/1, The former Tottenham striker is currently the manager of the USA national side.
It is worth noting that Sky Bet's settling terms state that "temporary or caretaker managers in charge for 10 competitive games will be deemed permanent and settled as a winner".
The FA's new boss hunt comes less than three months after its last one and was necessitated following the "mutual" decision for Allardyce's contract to be terminated.
The former Sunderland manager was axed just hours after a video emerged of him talking to undercover reporters from the Daily Telegraph.
In the video, he appears to tell a fictitious businessman how to circumvent third-party ownership rules and negotiates a £400,000 deal to address investors in a Far East firm. He also refers to his predecessor Roy Hodgson as Woy, a reference to his rhotacism which the FA described as unacceptable when it appeared in a newspaper headline in 2012.
England's next game is a World Cup qualifier against Malta on October 8.
England are 13/2 not to make it to Russia 2018 - it's 1/12 that they do - having already won the first of their 10 qualifiers. They are 5/1 to qualify with a 100 per cent record, as they did for Euro 2016.
Meanwhile, Allardyce is most likely to resurface in China, according to the Leeds-based firm.
That have opened a book on his next job and make a move to any Chinese Super League club their 5/2 favourite. A return to Sunderland, who he saved from relegation last season, is a 7/2 chance. That is the same price as is offered about a move to Derby, who on Tuesday night suspended current boss Nigel Pearson from their manager's role.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday morning, Allardyce said he would "wait and see" about whether he would return to __football in any capacity.
