ROY HODGSON SET FOR NEXT LIVERPOOL MANAGER WITH TORRES AND GERRARD FAVOURED TO STAY

You can still grab something resembling a payout if you're looking to back Roy Hodgson to be appointed as Next Liverpool Manager. It looks like the Betfair market has more or less solidified around Hodgson as no other contenders are listed below 10.0 prices. 

It looked for a while like Manuel Pellegrini might be able to sneak into contention and it really looked like he had the support of Kop faithful as well. This makes it especially interesting heading into the new season. 
The deal for Hodgson isn't supposed to be wrapped up until next week with the soon-to-be-former Fulham manager busy with the World Cup. 
Roy Hodgson's odds to be named Next Liverpool Manager are hovering around the 1.3 mark while Manuel Pellegrini has risen to 11.5. Kenny Dalglish is trading at 40.0 while former favourite Martin O'Neill is priced at 55.0. 
That that it looks like Hodgson is going to be the manager, the attention now turns to whether Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres will still be at Liverpool at the start of the next season. Betfair was seemingly right about Hodgson and if they are correct about Gerrard and Torres, then Anfield fans should be somewhat relieved. 
Fernando Torres is favoured to stay at Liverpool with a 1.57 price to stay and a 2.24 prie to leave. 
Steven Gerrards odds to stay at Liverpool are a bit more of a toss-up with a 1.76 price to stay ahead of a 1.8 price to leave. There are rumours that Rafa Benitez might want him at Inter or that Jose Mourinho is looking at him for Real Madrid. But in a World Cup summer, I think even my dad has been linked with a big money move to Real Madrid.
