Next Aston Villa Manager Odds See Money For Steve McClaren And Roberto Martinez
Thursday 02 June 2011 at 09:13
 As expected, Gerard Houllier left Aston Villa on Wednesday evening by mutual consent and the Next Aston Villa Manager Odds, which have been popular since Tuesday, underwent several interesting changes with money for Steve McClaren and Roberto Martinez amongst others.
Hughes And Moyes On The Drift For Villa Job
The early favourite in the Next Aston Villa Manager Odds was Mark Hughes and he still heads the betting but he has been on the drift in the last 24 hours despite still being odds on with some bookies, the best odds available on Mark Hughes are 11/8 with Bet365. Some might see it as a sideway step should Hughes leave Fulham for Aston Villa but Aston Villa do seem to have more scope for improvement than Fulham. Another candidate who has been on the drift is David Moyes, he was the early second favourite on Tuesday when news first broke that Houllier was expected to leave and that would certainly be a sideways step at best from Everton so it is no surprise that he has drifted out to more sensible odds of 10/1 with Bet365 and Betfred.
McClaren And Martinez Prove Most Popular With Punters
Two of the best backed names in the past 48 hours have been Steve McClaren and Roberto Martinez who are both now much shorter in the Next Aston Villa Manager Odds than they were a couple of days ago. Former England boss Steve McClaren seems to be attracting plenty of bets, he is down to just 4/1 with William Hill having been 25/1 with the same firm two days ago. Roberto Martinez has also been popular with punters, he was available at 20/1 yesterday but has been backed across the boards and is now 6/1 with Victor Chandler and Paddy Power. Martinez started the revolution at Swansea and has done well at Wigan, most importantly he likes his sides to play good football and he could be a popular appointment at Villa Park.
