- Newcastle into odds on at 10/11 to be relegated this season
Eddie Howe bookmakers favourite for the Newcastle manager's job
Newcastle have started the season winless after 6 games, with 3 draws and 3 losses. Bruce replied to the Newcastle fans who were chanting for him to leave after Saturday's 1-1 draw vs Watford, saying "it's difficult, but that's all it is, noise."
Former Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe is the 6/4 favourite with bookies to take the Newcastle job next, with the English boss being without a club since leaving the Cherries in 2020.
Steve Bruce's assistant manager Graeme Jones is the second favourite in the market at 5/2 with Jones having an apparent big impact on the Toon when he came into the club last year.
Frank Lampard also features in the market for the next Newcastle manager, without a club since he left Chelsea back in January this year. Lampard will be looking for a return to management after a tricky end to his Chelsea reign.
| Next Newcastle Manager | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Eddie Howe | 6/4 | 40% |
| Graeme Jones | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Chris Wilder | 4/1 | 20% |
| Roberto Martinez | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Frank Lampard | 12/1 | 7.7% |
Steve Bruce into 5/2 to be the first manager dismissed
After Newcastle's tough start, Bruce has seen his side slip down to 17th place in the Premier League table and more and more fans are turning on him every week.
'#BruceOut' seems to be a top trending topic on Twitter every single weekend and if Newcastle continue to struggle, Mike Ashley may have no option but to change manager.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was the favourite to be sacked with bookmakers for the last few weeks, but a turnaround in the Gunners form has seen the Spaniard come out to 11/2 to leave.
Newcastle odds on to be relegated this season
Newcastle now find themselves at odds on favourites with betting sites to be one of the three teams to be relegated from the Premier League this season.
With Wolves, Spurs, Palace and Chelsea on the way for Newcastle, it looks like it's not getting any easier for the Toon this season.
