Note:

The odds are for their next PERMANENT Manager, not temporary.

I think those lines sometimes blur.  For instance, Avram Grant at Chelsea was clearly a stop gap, yet was officially their new permanent manager.

I can see someone like Dalgleish getting it and being officailly the new man, but would obviously step aside if/when the club was sold.

Isn't O'Leary still available?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Isn't O'Leary still available?

Unconfirmed reports claim he's holding out for the Inter job.

[Jon Crofts]

O'Neill cut to 6/4

[Concrete John]

O'Neill cut to 6/4

Probably due to a few H&V regulars piling onto him!

[eastie]

Can't see o neill going there unless new owners are in hotseat.

[Tucson Villain]

500/1 on John Barnes eh, that'd be hilarious.

This would be fantastic.

I can only hope he gets it...

[Concrete John]

Would he have them all rapping and eating chocolate bars?

[Monty]

They aren't seriously making MON the 'front-runner'? I know they never listen to a word he says in the prints, but you'd think the bookies would be a little cannier. Evidently not.

I'm not really up on all this bookmaking malarky, but by making a name that was previously linked, but they don't think will go there favourite, won't that encourage betting on him?  Given he's now staying at Villa, maybe the theory is that the majority of people won't know of this as 'Villa manager stays' is hardly the most interesting story in the rags, so those ignorant of it will pile onto O'Neill and effectively be givng the bookies money?

[Monty]

Aha. They're cannier than I gave them credit. Good work Paddy Power, although putting Capello in there is a little cheeky.

Staunton is just what they need to continue the good work there.
