Ronald Koeman Shortens In Next Aston Villa Manager Betting Odds But Kevin MacDonald Still Hot Favourite
Wednesday 01 September 2010 at 12:14
The Next Aston Villa Manager Betting Odds still make Kevin MacDonald the short priced favourite to land the job on a full time basis but Ronald Koeman has thrown his hat into the ring resulting in a big gamble on the Dutchman's Next Aston Villa Manager Betting Odds.
Kevin MacDonald Still Hot Favourite But Koeman Becomes Interesting
Kevin MacDonald was favourite yesterday to become the Next Aston Villa Manager and punters have continued to back the caretaker manager at Villa Park, he is now odds on with Bet365 but you can still get best odds of evens with Paddy Power. Ronald Koeman has also been proving popular in the past 24 hours, the Dutchman is seemingly on the shortlist of managerial successors to Martin O'Neill and is now as short as 10/1 with Ladbrokes but can still be backed at 14/1 with Bet365 and SkyBet. He looks much better value than Sven Goran Eriksson, who is the second favourite at 8/1 with SkyBet and Bet365, the Swede has a history of being expensive to employ and that is unlikely to appeal to owner Randy Lerner.
Alan Curbishley Could Be The Best Of The Rest
Other managers who still appear to be chasing the Aston Villa job include David Moyes, Gerard Houllier and Alan Curbishley. The link with David Moyes seems a strange one given it would look a bit of a sideways move, but there is rarely smoke without fire in these managerial markets and the fact he is 12/1 with Bet365 and VC Bet means he must at least be on the shortlist. Gerard Houllier could come in and do a decent job, he is not without a chance at 14/1 with Paddy Power but a better bet could be Alan Curbishley, who has a history of doing well on small budgets and that could appeal to Randy Lerner, he would also be cheap and easy to appoint given he is currently unemployed so the 16/1 with Bet365, Paddy Power and Ladbrokes looks pretty good.
