STEVE BRUCE A LOCK TO BE NAMED NEXT SUNDERLAND MANAGER

The Betfair Market for the next Sunderland manager is more or less wrapped up with Steve Bruce set to take the helm at the Stadium of Light. Bruce is currently listed at a miniscule 1.03 to be in charge for the 2009/10 season. This means that we'll soon have a vacancy available at Wigan, which means that we'll have another exciting "next manager" to wager on in the coming weeks. I'm tipping Alan Curbishley, myself.Roberto Mancini boasts the second lowest odds with a whopping 32.0 while Sven Goran Eriksson (who wouldn't have been a bad selection in my opinion) sits at 120.0. Gordan Strachan is listed at 70.0. You know that when only two other selections are available in double digits that this one is more or less wrapped up. It should be an exciting year at Sunderland next year and, after having just avoided relegation, they will likely be looking to spend. Reinforcements will certainly be needed and this also throws question marks over which players will be the first ones out the door. I can't believe Dwight Yorke actually still plays for a Premier League side. Isn't he 50 now?It appears as though its onwards and upwards for Steve Bruce and if you're looking to win yourself a quick £30 why not bet £1000 on Steve Bruce to be named next Sunderland Manager?
