Graeme Souness Favourite For Next Blackburn Manager As Paul Ince Is Sacked
Tuesday 16 December 2008 at 11:46
 Paul Ince has been sacked by Blackburn Rovers and the favourite to be the Next Blackburn Manager is familiar with the set up at Ewood Park because he is a former manager.
Souness Goes Straight To Favouritism For Ewood Return
Graeme Souness was not in the betting yesterday when SkyBet opened their market on Paul Ince's successor despite the former England player not having been sacked until today. Souness was added to the betting today and has gone straight to favouritism at 6/4 with SkyBet.
Allardyce Ousted As Favourite
Sam Allardyce was installed as favourite yesterday but the inclusion of Souness in the betting now means Allardyce is out to 4/1 with SkyBet. It is thought that Allardyce prefers the lure of the Sunderland manager's job, which is also available, and he is the favourite for that job with most bookies.
Curbs Backed By Punters
Alan Curbishley has been backed in the last 24 hours and is 6/1 from 8/1 with SkyBet. Newspaper reports are split this morning as to whether or not they think Curbishley is in the running for the job. He has been out of work since quitting West Ham early in the season and this looks the sort of job he would relish.
Shearer 12/1 To Be Appointed
Alan Shearer would be an interesting choice and he is 12/1 with SkyBet. He has always been linked with joining Newcastle as manager but a lower profile job with Blackburn could be more up his street.
Martin Jol and Sleven Bilic Available At Decent Odds
Other big names being linked are Martin Jol who is 16/1 with SkyBet and Slaven Bilic who is 20/1 with SkyBet. To find out the odds on ex England managers Glenn Hoddle and Steve McClaren and to see what other managers are in the frame visit the SkyBet website.
