Alan Shearer Next Newcastle Manager Odds Crash Ahead Of Club Buyout
Tuesday 11 November 2008 at 12:13
The prospect of investors from the US taking control at Newcastle United has led to a massive gamble on Alan Shearer to become the next manager of his favourite club.
Shearer Top Candidate For Newcastle Hot Seat
Shearer has always been one of the favourites for the job but he is now the man everyone wants to be back for the job and he is 2/1 with Bet365 to be appointed the next permanent manager of Newcastle United. He has distanced himself from the job before so it seems he would need assurances of transfer budgets so that he can make his first step into management as successful as possible.
Kinnear And Keegan On The Drift
Joe Kinnear, who has done a decent job in charge as interim manager so far, is out to 9/2 with SkyBet whilst long time favourite for the job, Kevin Keegan, is now 6/1 with SkyBet.
Poyet Still Linked With Newcastle Job
Another former favourite for the job, Gus Poyet, is now 9/1 with Bet365. Poyet apparently turned down the job when still Spurs assistant manager but he has now been relieved of that position and nothing stands in his way of getting the job.
Bottom Half Finish In Store For Toon Army
With Newcastle languishing in the relegation zone you can bet on where they will finish this season. They are 1/3 with SkyBet to finish in the bottom half and 9/4 to finish in the top half of the Premiership. The 1/3 looks particularly generous and will surely reward punters at the end of the season.
