The Seasiders appointed Mick McCarthy on a short-term basis until the end of the season in January following the sacking of Michael Appleton, but McCarthy himself departed last week following a poor run of results.
Dobbie has been tasked with overseeing matters for the final five games of the season, having taken charge of his first fixture at the weekend in the defeat to Luton.
But it’s hoped a permanent head coach will be installed once the season ends to help start the rebuild at Bloomfield Road following what has been a challenging campaign in the Championship.
Here’s the latest bookies’ odds according to BetVictor...

2. Multiple names - 33/1
A whole host of names have been included in the betting at 33/1. These include former Luton boss Nathan Jones (pictured), Scott Parker, Neil Lennon, Pete Wild, Chris Hughton, Joey Barton, Danny Cowley and even Steven Gerrard. Photo: CameraSport - Andrew Vaughan
3. Michael Appleton - 25/1
Given he was only sacked by Blackpool in January, this one is highly unlikely. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
4. Paul Ince - 20/1
Having just been potted by Reading, Ince is another unusual name to make the list. Similarly to Appleton, this one is highly unlikely. Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
5. Grant McCann - 16/1
Remains out of work having left Peterborough in January. Has a track record of succeeding in League One. Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
6. Leam Richardson - 12/1
A former Blackpool player, Richardson did well getting Wigan out of League One in difficult circumstances. Could be in the frame. Photo: CameraSport - Chris Vaughan
