Allardyce Odds Shorten And Punters Involved In Next Blackburn Manager Betting Should Get Quick Payout
Tuesday 16 December 2008 at 16:04
Blackburn Rovers have announced they expect to have a new manager in place by Saturday, just hours after they sacked Paul Ince. This announcement suggests their preferred targets are currently available and have possibly been ‘sounded out' about the job before Ince's departure.
Big Sam Looking Likely Appointment
The favourite with most bookies for the job, Sam Allardyce, fits the available tag and can be backed at a standout price of 7/2 with Paddy Power. Allaryce was second favourite this morning but there has been loads of money for the ex Newcastle manager and he is also emerging as the fans choice. Blackburn spoke to Allardyce about the job during the summer so interviews are not necessary and the money for Allaryce and the announcement that a new manager should be in charge by Saturday all points to Big Sam getting the job.
Souness Favourite With Some To Make Ewood Comeback
Graeme Souness was made immediate favourite for the job and is still favourite with a couple of bookies but he has been drifting this afternoon and can now be backed at 5/2 with Bet365 and Paddy Power. Souness has already managed Blackburn once and is seen as an experienced choice to take over. Like Sam Allardyce, he is available right away.
Keane To Make Quick Return?
Roy Keane is available after recently walking away from Sunderland and although an unlikely choice he has been well backed to get the vacant Blackburn position. He was 25/1 this morning but is as short as 11/2 with Paddy Power.
Curbs Could Be Interested In Job
Alan Curbishley is yet another manager who is out of work and he is 9/1 to get the job with Paddy Power. The fact that all four favourites are available to start today and three of them are experienced managers certainly suggests the appointment will be an experienced manager who is available. Get your bets on quick as this market could be settled in the next couple of days. To see who else is in the running for the job, visit the Paddy Power website for best odds.
