Holloway's in the running for Orient job
21 Jan 2009Ian Holloway has emerged as the front-runner to succeed Martin Ling as Leyton Orient manager.
It is understood Orient officials have drawn up a shortlist of six candidates headed by the former Queens Park Rangers and Leicester City boss.
Holloway, 45, has indicated he is interested in the post, which was vacated after chairman Barry Hearn ended Ling's five-year spell following a run of seven games without a win that has left Orient in the League One relegation zone.
Former Spurs coach Gus Poyet and ex-Colchester boss Geraint Williams are also in the frame.
Youth team coach Kevin Nugent took charge for last night's 1-1 home draw with Southend as James Walker equalised deep in stoppage time to cancel out Adam Boyd's first-half effort.
