Next Newcastle Manager Betting Odds Have Alan Shearer As Favourite Despite Relegation
Monday 25 May 2009 at 11:25
Next Newcastle Manager Betting Odds are pointing towards Alan Shearer despite Newcastle dropping out of the Premiership and the Newcastle legend being reluctant to commit his future to the club he captained as a player.
Shearer Odds On To Stay At Newcastle
Shearer is 4/9 with SkyBet to be manager of Newcastle on the first day of next season, a strong indication that he is expected to sign his future away to the club. His start to management may not have been ideal but he will quickly want to correct Newcastle's league status.
Joe Kinnear Expected To Part Company With Newcastle
Interim manager Joe Kinnear still technically has a job at Newcastle but with his health problems it is expected he will step aside this summer. He is still the second favourite to be in charge on the first day of next season and Kinnear can be backed at 5/1 with SkyBet.
Dowie And Bilic Are Contenders
Other managers who could well be in charge include Iain Dowie and Slaven Bilic, both of whom are 14/1 with SkyBet. Dowie is currently assisting Shearer at Newcastle and could stay in as manager whilst Slaven Bilic is continually linked with Premiership clubs so it is unlikely he will now move to the Championship.
Strachan And Bruce Amongst Names Linked
To find out the odds on the likes of Gordon Strachan, Steve Bruce, Avram Grant and Gerard Houllier being in charge next season and to see who else is being linked with the job visit the SkyBet website.
