Roy Hodgson Favourite To Be Next Manager Sacked Ahead Of Ancelotti And Grant
Thursday 06 January 2011 at 09:55
 The sack race is heating up, there are now four Premiership managers who could be sacked before the weekend realistically although the hot favourite according to the Next Premiership Manager To Go Odds is Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson, who could even be sacked today.
Hodgson Could Be Gone Before The Weekend
Liverpool were demolished 3-1 at Blackburn on Wednesday night and this could be the final straw for Roy Hodgson, who also lost at home to Wolves a week ago. All the bookies now make Hodgson the odds on favourite in the sack race, he can be backed at a best price of just 4/7 with William Hill and Victor Chandler. Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea lost to Wolves on Wednesday heaping even more pressure on the Italian who won the double last season, he is lucky Spur also lost or Chelsea would be four points away from the Champions League places. Chelsea can't afford to miss out on Champions League qualification and therefore can't afford to continue this form, Ancelotti is second favourite to be the next manager to leave at 7/2 with SkyBet currently, Victor Chandler offer just 2/1.
Grant And Houllier Could Also Be Sacked In the Coming Weeks
The sack race is wide open at the moment, not only are Hodgson and Ancelotti seemingly very close to the sack, losses for West Ham and Aston Villa this week have also heaped the pressure on Avram Grant and Gerrard Houllier. It seemed Grant had saved his job as West Ham manager with five points from three games over Christmas but a 5-0 loss against Newcastle means his future is now under scrutiny, he may be given another match or two though, as long as he is within touching distance of safety he should keep his job and he is 11/2 with SkyBet and Victor Chandler. Gerrard Houllier hasn't hit the ground running at Aston Villa and they have now started losing at home which was the source of most of their points earlier in the season, despite not being appointed until the season had started his job looks very insecure, you can get 10/1 with Victor Chandler that he is next out.
