Harry Redknapp Shortens In Next England Manager Betting Odds With Hodgson Expected To Land Liverpool Job Tuesday 29 June 2010 at 09:41 The Next England Manager Betting Odds now have Harry Redknapp as the clear favourite to replace the possibly outgoing Fabio Capello as England Manager with his main rival for the job, Roy Hodgson, set to be appointed the Next Liverpool Manager this week.
Redknapp Edging Out Hodgson Now
It had been neck and neck between Redknapp and Hodgson in the Next England Manager Betting Odds but with Hodgson set to join Liverpool his odds have drifted out to 6/1 with VC Bet, although Coral still make him their 6/5 favourite. Redknapp has been the name on most fans' lips when asked who should replace Capello and he has been very well backed after declaring his interest in the job, you can now only get 3/1 with Ladbrokes and Coral on Redknapp becoming the Next England Manager.
Stuart Pearce Probably The Best Outsider To Back
Another man who had been backed in the past 24 hours is Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill, who is now 8/1 from 10/1 with VC Bet but William Hill are still holding their 10/1, presumably as O'Neill has already been overlooked twice for the job so they think he doesn't have much chance this time around. Stuart
Pearce could prove a better bet to do the job as he is already on the coaching staff and also manages the England Under 21s, it seems the FA are grooming him for the job and he is a nice bet at 12/1 with VC Bet. Some fans have been calling for David Beckham but he looks short enough at 25/1 with SkyBet and Paddy Power.

Harry Redknapp Proven at club level and undoubtedly a top manager. Some doubts about his suitability as a candidate and recent legal problems won't have helped his cause but he would be the England fans choice. Harry Redknapp has said he wouldnt turn England down if they came calling. FA England Managing Director Adrian Bevington pronounced that "the next manager would be English" and Redknapp looks one of very few homegrown candidates.
Stuart Pearce England need Stuart Pearce passion and no doubt the FA rate him as he is Under 21 manager. This vacancy may come round a bit too soon, although he is likely to manage England in his career it may not be straight after Fabio Cappello.
Guus Hiddink Likely to be very high on the FA's wish list and has a good track record in international football, but Trevor Brooking the FA Director Of Football indicated that an English manager would be sought.
Martin O'Neill Would be a popular choice as the next England manager for many fans and has a proven track record. If the FA want him they should be able to get him but there are question marks over why he wasn't appointed instead of Steve McClaren in 2006. Some reports in the media say he is not interested in the job havng settled in very well at Sunderland.
Sam Allardyce Overlooked when he was doing well with Bolton and the general impression was that he was found out at Newcastle. Sam Allarydyce still has his supporters but now at West Ham the Engand job may have passed him by.
Glenn Hoddle England manager between 1996 and 1999 but has been out of management since 2006 when he was in charge at Wolves. Possibility he could hold the fort through Euro 2012
Steve Bruce Sunderland boss Steve Bruce never played for England, however football fans think he is one of the best English players never to play for his country at full international level. Bruce is a good bet for the FA who surely must appoint a manager born in England.
Alan Shearer Appointing legendary players with little or no managerial experience has become a bit of a trend over the last few years, but after such shambolic displays in the World Cup England will be looking for more stability and a proven track record.
Mark Hughes Has managed Blackburn, Man City, Fulham and QPR in the Premiership as well as five years managing Wales so knows all about international football.
Terry Venables Managed his country between 1994 and 1996 and made return to the international limelight when assistant manager to Steve McLaren in 2006/7.
