Stuart Pearce 11/10 to lose job
Stuart Pearce is 11/10 to be the next top flight manager to lose his job, according to Ladbrokes, following Manchester City's defeat at Blackburn.The firm's spokesman, Nick Weinberg, said: "Pearce's position looks increasingly precarious. He's been at odds with his board over funds and his team's slump will not have impressed his employers. "And with their one chance of rescuing a disappointing season gone, Pearce could find himself out the door."The Citizens'conquers Blackburn are 9/2 to win the FA Cup, whilst Manchester United are 6/4 favourites to lift the trophy.Weinberg added:" Hughes's side will fancy their chances of making the final. They've taken some notable scalps during their cup run."There were mixed emotions for the layers as Tottenham held Chelsea in the first of yesterday's (Sunday) games.Weinberg said: "We would have taken the draw at the start of the game. But the Blues were there for the taking. It was a great opportunity to get rid of the biggest loser in the book. - Not to mention sinking the Chelsea quadruple which we've built up a sizable liability on."
