Hunt is on for new boss at Deepdale

Championship basement boys Preston have sacked manager Darren Ferguson with the club five points adrift of safety.
Ferguson has paid the price after a disastrous run of form which sees Preston head into 2011 rock-bottom of the Championship.
The final straw for the Preston board was Tuesday's 3-1 home defeat to fellow strugglers Middlesbrough.
Ferguson took charge of Preston in January 2010 and he guided them to safety last season.
However, Preston have endured a miserable run of form this term, winning just five of their 22 games in the league.
Tuesday's defeat to Middlesbrough left Preston five points adrift of safety and the club's board have decided to look for a new boss.
A club statement read: "At a board meeting held today the directors of Preston North End

decided to terminate the position of Darren Ferguson as manager.
"The club expressed their appreciation of the efforts made by Darren but felt that the league position represented a significant threat to the club and it was felt that a change of manager might bring better fortune."
