Newcastle are on the verge of a massive takeover from a Saudi Arabia backed consortium and this has caused a change in the market for next manager, with some big names being backed.

Steve Bruce favourite to leave in the Next Manager to be Sacked market

Current Newcastle manager Steve Bruce is now the favourite to be sacked next in the Premier League following the news that the Newcastle takeover is expected to go through shortly. 

The consensus is that once the new owners come in, they'll be looking to get their own man in to lead their new revolution at St James' Park. 

Bruce was previously 4/1 second favourite in the market yesterday morning, with Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo previous favourite, but this latest turn of events has seen the market flip round. 

The other market that is available around managerial departures is for a manager to leave before 25th December 2021 and Bruce is as short as 3/10 to do so, so bookmakers are expecting some sort of change soon.

Newcastle are still odds on to be relegated despite imminent takeover

The Toon are having a poor season so far in the Premier League with no wins in their first 7 games and this is part of the reason why they find themselves odds on to be relegated from the division this season. 

Of course it's hoped by Newcastle fans that the takeover will see a change in fortunes and they're 17/1 with some betting sites to finish in the top half this season. 

If the takeover does end up going through, it's expected that there will be a January Transfer Window madness from the Newcastle board in 3 months time. 

One market to keep an eye on at betting sites is the list of transfers that they usually have on site, with Newcastle expected to be low down on several players in January if they were to start making moves.

Relegated 4/5 55.6%
Stay Up EVS 50%
Top Half 17/1 5.6%
