Alan Shearer Newcastle Manager Odds Fall After Temporary Appointment
Wednesday 01 April 2009 at 10:45
 The odds on Alan Shearer being the Newcastle manager next season were slashed today as it was confirmed that the former Newcastle and England striker would be in charge for the rest of the season, making him the fourth manager to be in charge this season.
Shearer Odds On To Stay Next Season
Shearer is the fourth man in charge this season, having followed Kevin Keegan, Joe Kinnear and Chris Hughton into the job. The current contract is until the end of the season but if he keeps Newcastle up there will surely be calls for him to get the job full time. Paddy Power offer just 4/11 that Shearer is the manager at the start of next season.
Newcastle Are 13/2 To Win The Championship Next Season
Paddy Power have lengthened Newcastle to be relegated following the news of Shearer's appointment from 11/10 to 6/5. Cheekily, Paddy Power are offering 13/2 that Newcastle win the Championship next season. Newcastle can be backed at 8/13 to stay up with Paddy Power.
When Will Shearer's First Win Be?
Paddy Power are also betting on when Shearer's first win will come. His first game is a tough one, they face Chelsea and Paddy Power offer 9/2 that Shearer gains his first win in that game. Stoke looks a good opportunity although the Britannia is a tough stadium to go to and that is 11/4 with Paddy Power. Spurs is a 7/1 shot with Paddy Power, Portsmouth is 3/1, Liverpool is 25/1, Middlesbrough are 6/1, Fulham are 11/1 and Aston Villa are 28/1 on the last day of the season. All the odds are with Paddy Power. They make no win for Shearer this season just an 8/1 chance!
Shearer Goal Celebration On Saturday?
A Newcastle player to do the one arm Shearer goal celebration after scoring against Chelsea is an interesting bet at 4/1 with Paddy Power, who also offer a big price about Newcastle and their local rivals Sunderland both being relegated, that is 10/1.
