Some Bookies Stop Taking Bets On Paul Ince To Be Next Manager Out
Monday 15 December 2008 at 12:54
SkyBet are the last bookies taking bets on the next Premiership manager to leave their job as Paul Ince clings on to his managerial position at Blackburn Rovers.
Ince Long Odds On To Go Next
SkyBet go just 1/4 that Paul Ince is the next manager out after a disastrous 3-0 loss against Wigan Athletic that left his side eleven games without a Premiership win. Reports are that he will be sacked this week and if he is still in the job by the weekend it would be a massive surprise. So confident are SkyBet that Ince will lose his job, they are already betting on the Next Blackburn Manager!
Allardyce Favourite To Replace Ince At Blackburn
The favourite to replace Ince is Sam Allardyce who is 3/1 with SkyBet. Allardyce was close to getting the Blackburn job in the summer but the board opted for Ince. Alan Curbishley is second favourite at 8/1 with SkyBet and Alan Shearer, Gerard Houllier and David O'Leary are all tied on 12/1 with SkyBet.
Mark Hughes Struggling With City Life
The second favourite in the next manager to go betting is Mark Hughes who is 4/1 with SkyBet. Despite breaking the British club transfer record on Robinho in the summer, Manchester City sit seventeenth in the Premiership. They have won just once in their last eight Premiership games and that is unlikely to impress the billionaire owners who were hoping for Champions League qualification this season. He is likely to follow Ince into the dole queue before long.
Zola Out Of Trouble For Now
Tony Mowbray, manager of rock bottom West Brom is under some pressure after they lost 4-0 to managerless Sunderland at the weekend. He is 7/1 with SkyBet to be next out but one manager who has eased the pressure on himself is Gianfranco Zola who got a great 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge yesterday. He has been as short as 4/1 but he is now out to 8/1 with SkyBet.
