Monday 09 February 2009 at 17:09
The Next Chelsea Manager Betting Market is only minutes old yet there have already been some major moves in the betting. It is expected that it will take a good few hours for a solid hierarchy to emerge but there seem to be some good bets at this early stage.
Guus Hiddink Favourite Once Again
Guus Hiddink was initially installed as an odds on favourite, then he drifted out and became joint favourite and then he drifted some more and became favourite again! He is 3/1 with SkyBet at the moment and as things stand the bookies think he has most chance of landing the job. Expect things to change again shortly!
Avram Grant Could Make Shock Return
Avram Grant has already been installed as favourite for the Next Portsmouth Manager betting market and he was initially the 9/2 second favourite to make a shock return to Chelsea. He then became a joint 2/1 favourite with Hiddink but he has since drifted out to 4/1 with SkyBet.
Rijkaard And Sven Well Backed Early On
Frank Rijkaard and Sven Goran Eriksson have also been backed early doors. Rijkaard has come in from 8/1 into 9/2 with SkyBet as punters look to get some early value about the likely candidates whilst Erikkson, who is well known in England, is 8/1 from a double figure price with SkyBet.
Return Of The Special One
The sacking of Scolari could open the door for a different shock return from Avram Grant. Jose Mourinho is just 16/1 to become the Next Chelsea Manager. Another Chelsea favourite, Gianfranco Zola, is 8/1 with SkyBet. To find out the odds on Roberto Mancini, Ray Wilkins or Mark Hughes landing the job and to see who else is being linked visit the SkyBet website, you will find the market under Football, Speciality Markets and Manager Specials. Expect plenty of changes in odds as the market develops.
