Dave Jones Next West Ham Manager Odds Well Backed But Hughton Still Favourite
Wednesday 18 May 2011 at 10:54
After Cardiff were eliminated from the Playoffs on Tuesday night Dave Jones was backed to leave his job and become the Next West Ham Manager. The Cardiff manager is now a third of the price he was in the Next West Ham Manager Odds on Tuesday morning but he is still not the favourite.
Dave Jones Odds Slashed After Cardiff Playoff Exit
Dave Jones was available at 25/1 on Tuesday morning but 24 hours later after his Cardiff side were knocked out of the Championship Playoffs his future was immediately called into question and it seems he could now be a target for Gold and Sullivan at West Ham, he is best odds 8/1 with Victor Chandler and SkyBet but is as short as 7/2 which is quite remarkable considering his odds yesterday. It seems Chris Hughton is still the man that West Ham want though, he won the Championship with Newcastle after they were relegated and he is best odds 7/4 with Stan James to get the job and just 11/10 in one place.
Allardyce And O’Neill Still Under Consideration
It seems that the two other managers on the West Ham radar are two managers who were strongly linked with Avram Grant’s job during the season. When Sam Allardyce was sacked as Blackburn manager he was immediately linked by the press with the West Ham manager’s job and it seems he could still end up at Upton Park as he is just 9/1 with Victor Chandler and Paddy Power to land the post. It is thought Martin O’Neill was even closer to the job, he all but replaced Avram Grant during the season only to have a last minute change of heart, Martin O’Neill will be high on the shortlist but it is debatable about whether or not he will drop down to the Championship, you can get 10/1 on O’Neill with Coral.
