NEXT BOLTON MANAGER BETTING ODDS MARK HUGHES AND PAUL JEWELL IN FRAME
Bolton fans finally got their wish as Gary Megson and his underwhelming series of performances have now finally left the Reebok. The team really has nowheres to go but up at the moment and whoever is taking over needs to gear themselves up for a relegation dogfight of the first order. Bolton are an established Premiership side and it will be a serious blow to their small, but extremely dedicated, cadre of fans should they drop down through the Premier League's trap door.
The betting markets have heated up already and punters everywhere are clamoring to get their bets in on the next Bolton manager. If you act now, there is a massive amount of value available should you be able to select the next Bolton manager.
As it currently stands, former Wigan favourite Paul Jewell is emerging as the chief contender with recently-sacked Mark Hughes nipping at his heels. As funny an image as that sounds, it really looks to be a two-horse race at the moment although Alan Curbishly and Darren Ferguson are also trading at relatively low-prices.
You'll find Jewell and Hughes trading below 7.0 and around 6.5 or 6.0. The odds are really fluctuating hard at the moment and Jewell has been spotted below 6.0 at times. Curbishly trades at 8.5 to 9.0, while Ferguson is listed at 8.0 to 8.5.
I would advise you not to discount Peter Reid, who seems to be gaining a bit of steam and you'll find him below 7.0. Owen Coyle also trades at 16.0. Gareth Southgate is listed at 21.0.
Personally, I think very little information has come out about who is in frame. Once that happens, and a credible source backs a solid contender, then the odds will start dropping significantly. The time is now to bet on the next Bolton manager!
