Next Sunderland Manager Betting Odds Favourite Still Steve Bruce Despite Hitch
Thursday 28 May 2009 at 10:49
Steve Bruce is still the favourite in the Next Sunderland Manager Betting Odds despite Sunderland seeming to say they will look elsewhere after failing to agree compensation with Wigan.
Bruce Drifts But He Is Still Odds On
Yesterday morning it seemed as though Wigan had given Sunderland permission to approach Bruce and he was long odds on to land the job. However, in the afternoon it emerged that talks between the two clubs had broken down. Bruce is still the favourite to get the job, he can be backed at 4/5 with Blue Square.
Two Out Of Work Managers Prominent In Betting
Gordon Strachan and Sven Goran Eriksson are fighting it out for second favouritism. Strachan is best priced 11/2 with Paddy Power but he is much shorter elsewhere and it is worth remembering that he was initially an odds on favourite for the job at the start of the week. Both Strachan and Eriksson are currently out of work, Eriksson is 6/1 with Paddy Power and Blue Square.
More Big Names In The Frame
There are plenty of other interesting names in the betting, Slaven Bilic is 12/1 with Paddy Power and SkyBet, Alan Curbishley is 20/1 with Bet365 and Steve McClaren is 28/1 with Bet365. To find out the odds on Claudio Ranieri, Frank Rijkaard or Avram Grant landing the job, and to see who else is being linked with the post, and their odds, click on any of the bookie links above.
