Guus Hiddink Listed at 20/1 To Be Next Premiership Manager to Be Sacked
William Hill are offering 20/1 that Gus Hiddink will be the next Premiership manager to leave his club this season - and that is before he has even been confirmed as manager even on a temporary basis! Hills have re-formed this market following news of Joe Kinnear's health problems which suggest that he may be unable to return as Newcastle boss, so he has been excluded from the betting. Hills make Gareth Southgate 6/4 favourite to be the next Premiership manager to leave his club this season and also offer: 6/1 Megson; 9/1 Hughes; 20/1 Benitez;Hiddink; Mowbray; 25 Brown; Pulis; Sbragia; Zola; Next permanent Portsmouth manager; 33Allardyce; Bruce; Hodgson;Redknapp; Wenger; 50 O'Neill; 66 Moyes; 100 Ferguson. ' We have to include Hiddink, but should he be appointed, only to discover that the job is not to his liking he could walk away - assuming he hasn't already been sacked by that stage if he doesn't immediately improves results and performances. I wouldn't be surprised by anything Chelsea might do, these days'' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills offer 5/2 that no more managers will depart their clubs this season. For the purposes of the above markets, Joe Kinnear is excluded, and should Hiddink not be appointed to the Chelsea post either temporarily or permanently by the time the next manager departs, stakes on him will be refunded.
