Martin O Neill Next Cardiff Manager Odds Make Him Surprise Favourite
Tuesday 31 May 2011 at 10:11
According to the Next Cardiff Manager Odds there could be a huge appointment for the club soon with Martin O’Neill the current favourite to replace Dave Jones who was sacked on Monday.
O Neill Could Be Ready For Shock Move To Cardiff
If Cardiff can persuade Martin O’Neill to become their new manager then it would be a huge coup for the club, only a year ago he was amongst the favourites to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson as the Next Man Utd Manager. It seems spending a year out of the game has caused his stock to fall seriously but he remains a very good manager, especially at this sort of level, and the odds of 2/1 with William Hill and 6/4 with SkyBet from an initial 20/1 suggest he is ready to make the step down to the Championship.
Hughton And Di Matteo Make Sense
The second favourite to take over at Cardiff according to the latest odds is Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies who can be backed at 5/1 at SkyBet. He may be high on the shortlist but whether he would swap one playoff failure for another is open to question. Craig Bellamy was favourite yesterday but has been pushed out to 7/1, he still looks a bit of a surprising name to be involved. At bigger odds Chris Hughton and Roberto Di Matteo appeal as strong candidates, both can be backed at 9/1 with SkyBet and the value could lie with that pair.
