Premier League Betting – Next Manager To Leave Post

Jose in hot water according to bookmakers' odds

Next Manager Betting & Transfers

Available at 7/1 before a ball had been kicked in anger, JOSE MOURINHO is now as short as 8/11 and only a best Evens (Betway) to be the Next Premier League Manager To Leave Post following Manchester United’s embarrassing defeat at West Ham on Saturday.

United have suffered their worst start to a season in 29 years and are already nine points adrift of arch-rivals Manchester City. However, former player Gary Neville believes that United’s problems started long before The Special One arrived at Old Trafford. Neville believes a lack of leadership from those above the manager has contributed to the club’s fall from grace. Fans have also been scathing of executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward’s actions since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

Of course, it’s true that many of Mourinho’s big-money signings have been flops and his players looked both disinterested and disorganised at West Ham and have in other games this season. His treatment of the likes of Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba and Eric Bailly has also infuriated supporters who demand nothing but the best but Neville still believes that the Portuguese will see out the remainder of his contract, though he’s not doing himself any favours by alienating journalists. That said, United still have a Champions League campaign to conduct and, having won their opening match in a weak group, that should extend well into the New Year. Would it benefit the players or the club to bring in a new manager at this stage? Unfortunately, Mourinho does have a history of throwing out the baby with the bath water when things start going awry and nobody is being fooled into believing that there is something not right at Old Trafford at present.

Cardiff’s NEIL WARNOCK is currently a best 6/1 in the market having admitted, before the weekend defeat by Burnley, that he prefers the Championship to the Premier League. The Bluebirds have yet to win a match and have owners who would not look kindly on an immediate return to the EFL, even though City exceeded expectations when promoted last season.

MARK HUGHES (8/1 with BetVictor) must also be anxiously awaiting the dreaded vote of confidence. The Saints were poor at the end of last season and haven’t got any better. There has been little investment in new players and many of the squad already look Championship material. Hughes spent more than four years in charge of Stoke but none of his three previous managerial appointments lasted more than 19 months.

Pre-season favourite in the unwitting race to be Next Premier League Manager To Leave His Post, CLAUDE PUEL, is now 16/1 with BetVictor with his Leicester side having made a perfectly respectable start to the campaign. Getting Harry Maguire to sign a new contract was undoubtedly a master-stroke by the Frenchman.
